SMS Recruiting Tool
Reach, Screen, And Hire Candidates Faster With SMS Recruiting Platform
TXTImpact's SMS recruiting software built around one job: keep candidate conversations moving. Send job opportunities, answer questions, schedule interviews, and follow up, all by text. So fewer qualified candidates lose interest while waiting for a callback.
Minutes

20+ years
TXTImpact has supported recruiting teams with SMS since 2006
Calls Go Unanswered. Texts Get Read.
Candidates aren't always available to answer a phone call especially during a shift, an interview, or when they don't recognize the number. Reaching them by text on a channel they already use can keep hiring conversations moving instead of letting them stall in voicemail.
✓ Candidates respond faster
A text is usually read within minutes. A voicemail or unread email can sit for hours, and by then a fast-moving candidate may have already accepted another offer.
✓ Follow-ups happen sooner
A quick text after an application or interview keeps the candidate warm, without waiting for a callback window that may never line up.
✓ Interview coordination is easier
Proposing a time, confirming it, and sending a reminder are each a single text no phone tag to lock in a slot.
✓ Engagement stays higher
Two-way texting lets candidates ask a quick question and get an answer in the moment, instead of leaving the process because they couldn't get through.
✓ Past candidates are easier to re-engage
A segmented list of prior applicants means a new opening can go out as a targeted text instead of starting sourcing from zero.
Lower the barrier to apply
Text-to-apply captures interest before it fades
A candidate who has to find a link, open a form, and create an account often doesn't finish. Text-to-apply cuts that down to one message.
Automate Recruitment from Application to Interview
Advertise a keyword on a job posting, flyer, or at a job fair. Candidates text the keyword to apply, then SMS Workflows can automate the next steps from collecting candidate information and screening applicants to sending interview scheduling instructions. Keep the recruitment process moving through automated text conversations, with less manual follow-up required.
Automation
Automate Candidate Communication
The repetitive parts of recruiting — reminders, status updates, first replies — don't need a person doing them one at a time.
Build a sequence that moves a candidate from application to interview reminder to offer message without manual follow-up.
Generate and personalize outreach texts, job alerts, and follow-ups in seconds instead of writing every message from scratch.
Candidate status messages
Automatically notify a candidate when their status changes, so "did I hear back?" doesn't become a support request.
Templates
Save reusable templates for job alerts, interview confirmations, and offer messages so recruiters aren't retyping the same text daily.
Workflow features
Manage Candidate Conversations From The Tools You Already Use
Email-to-Text and Outlook texting aren't separate messaging channels — they're a way to work SMS from an inbox your team already lives in all day.
Email-to-text and text-to-email
Route candidate texts to and from a shared team email address, so recruiters can manage responses from a shared inbox instead of a separate texting app.
Outlook and Microsoft 365 texting
Send outreach, interview reminders, and follow-ups directly from Outlook without switching tools. See Outlook texting
Shared recruiting inbox
Multiple recruiters can see and reply to the same candidate thread, so a conversation doesn't stall just because one person is out.
Multichannel Messaging
Recruit Candidates Across Multiple Messaging Channels
SMS, MMS, RCS, and WhatsApp are the messaging channels TXTImpact supports — reach a candidate on the one they actually use.
The default channel for job alerts, screening, and interview coordination — works on any phone, no app required.
Send interactive "Apply Now" and "Confirm Interview" buttons inside the thread on supported devices. See RCS
Reach candidates who prefer WhatsApp, especially for remote or international roles. See WhatsApp
