In a recent GRID survey<\/a>, 36% of you told us that candidate engagement and looking after your best talent was a key priority for your business. And if you joined us for EngageX Europe,<\/a> you\u2019ll have seen that Bullhorn has a real focus on what we call \u2018Experience-Centered Recruitment\u2019\u2014being human, being where your candidates are, and delivering them a high-touch, yet automated experience that has your best talent coming back for more. Why? Because candidates are real people who are busy, have options, and expect a slick, timely, and personal recruitment process.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited about our latest offering: Bullhorn Messaging<\/strong>. Powered by TextUs<\/a>, a Bullhorn Marketplace partner and market-leading text messaging platform for recruitment firms. Bullhorn Messaging helps recruiters communicate faster and build stronger relationships with leads, candidates, and customers by reaching them where they are\u2014on their mobile phone. Here\u2019s a sample of what you can expect with Bullhorn Messaging:<\/p>\n To keep things personal, Bullhorn Messaging offers each user their own dedicated phone number, meaning they\u2019re more likely to engage and build a connection with your recruiters.<\/p>\n According to Gartner<\/a>, SMS open and response rates are as high as 98% and 45%, respectively\u2013in contrast to corresponding figures of 20% and 6% for email. This is critical for modern staffing firms who rely on speed and responsiveness to be successful.<\/p>\n Bullhorn Messaging offers more than just the ability to communicate via text message. It\u2019s a messaging platform that includes advanced reporting to determine the level of candidate engagement, the ability to schedule and broadcast messages, personalise campaigns, and most importantly it integrates with Bullhorn ATS and Herefish so you know everything is tracked and kept up to date.<\/p>\n What\u2019s really exciting though, is when you combine the power of Herefish<\/a> with Bullhorn Messaging to automate candidate engagement.
