Texting
Share numbers and inboxes across recruiters and HR partners, assign conversations, and track every reply — so no candidate or employee is missed.
One-off broadcasts and multi-step sequences with delays, dynamic fields and messaging triggered by events in your ATS or HCM.
Schedule sends for the right moment, so applicants and employees hear from you when it counts — not when it's convenient to type.
Olivia: Honestly the 20th works great, as long as I can sort out the parking pass.
Dana: Totally — I'll text you the pass details the second we hang up.
Calling
Make and receive calls from the same number candidates already text, recorded and synced to the record the moment the call ends.
Searchable transcripts and call summaries land on the candidate or employee record, so the whole team knows what was said.
Automation
Send the right message the moment something happens in Workday, SAP, UKG, Dayforce, BambooHR or Greenhouse — a new application, an accepted offer, an approaching start date.
Combine texts, calls and timed delays in one sequence, personalized with dynamic fields from the candidate or employee record.
Time every message around each person's own timeline — the interview, the start date, the enrollment deadline.
AI
Screens and qualifies applicants, answers candidate and employee questions and books interviews from the recruiter's calendar — 24/7, in your team's voice.
Message anyone in their preferred language. AI translates both ways, in real time, so your team writes once in English.
Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized, then written to the record — no more typing up notes after a screen.
