Make it Easy to Apply by Text
What is Text to Apply?
Text to apply provides your company with a Shortcode or Inbound Text phone number that walks job-seekers through a text to hire job application, where candidates enter their contact information, answer pre-screening job questions, and can even schedule an interview (optional). When a job seeker completes the brief questions, we email you the candidate’s information and with our text recruiting software, you can start texting back and forth with candidates.

How do companies use Apply by Text?
Employers are placing their Text to Apply keywords and phone numbers in job ads posted on job boards, as well as in Hiring Now signage, such as banners and window clings. By advertising the Apply by text keyword and text number allows companies to not only capture mobile-driven candidates by increasing the ease-of-use to apply, but also make it easier on applicants, because typing a long url on a mobile phone is frustrating, and most career sites are not mobile optimized.
