WhatsApp recruiting for US employers
WhatsApp recruiting means finding, screening and scheduling candidates in WhatsApp chats instead of email and web forms. TalentAxis runs the whole application in WhatsApp, from the first message to a booked interview.
How it works
WhatsApp recruiting with TalentAxis
Set up once per location; every candidate gets the same fast experience.
A WhatsApp business number
Use the shared TalentAxis US number, or connect your own business number.
A code per location
Candidates text the location's code from a QR poster, sign or job ad.
Screening in the chat
Pay rate first, tap-to-reply questions and knock-outs, then an interview slot.
Your team can reply
Recruiters see the conversation in TalentAxis and can message the candidate from there.
Compliance basics
Consent and opt-out, built in
Not legal advice — consult your counsel — but these basics are part of every conversation.
The candidate starts the chat
With Text to Apply, the candidate sends the first message.
STOP is honoured
Replying STOP opts the candidate out of further messages.
Approved message templates
Messages sent after the 24-hour chat window use WhatsApp-approved templates.
A record of the conversation
Every message is kept on the candidate's profile.
