Hand busywork to agents, keep what matters

Screening questions, scheduling, reminders, benefits and policy questions run on their own, logged to the record as they happen. That leaves recruiters and HR partners free for the interviews, offers and employee moments that need a human. Agents handle the volume; your team keeps the relationships.

Interview scheduling

Interviews that book themselves

Candidates pick a slot by text from the recruiter’s live availability in Outlook or Google Calendar. Emissary confirms, reminds, reschedules and writes the appointment back to the calendar and the ATS.

Candidates book from the recruiter’s real availability, in a text
Automatic confirmations and reminders, so fewer no-shows
Reschedules handled by text, with the calendar kept in sync

Triggered messaging

Send the right message the moment something happens

Send a text or create a call task the moment something happens in Workday, SAP, UKG, Dayforce, BambooHR or Greenhouse — a new application, a stage change, an accepted offer, an approaching start date. Each message is tied to its own event, so a series of events becomes a series of well-timed messages.

One message or call task per event, with branches on how the candidate replied
Dynamic send dates: the interview, the start date, the enrollment deadline
Pulse surveys, 30/60/90-day check-ins and credentialing nudges, each triggered by its own date

New lead created in your ATS

Text to Apply

Turn signs, posts and job fairs into applications

A QR code or keyword on any job post, poster, badge or screen starts the conversation the moment someone scans or texts. The agent takes it from there — screening questions, interview slots, the application link — and the applicant lands in your ATS as a new lead.

One keyword and QR code per job, location or event
Works on your 10DLC number or a branded short code
Carrier registration handled for you

Stay in control

AI handles the repetitive; people handle the sensitive

You decide what the AI takes care of and where a recruiter or HR partner steps in. Repetitive work — screening questions, scheduling, routine policy answers — runs on its own. Sensitive conversations go to a person, with everything that was said already in the thread.

AI takes the repetitive tasks; your people take the sensitive ones
Sensitive conversations handed to a person without the candidate repeating themselves
