JT101: Using JobTarget's Messaging Feature

Frequently Asked Questions: JobTarget Messaging

Q: What is JobTarget's Messaging feature?

Messaging lets you chat directly with candidates through your Candidate Manager app. When activated for your account, you can click the chat bubble next to any candidate's name or access messages through their profile to start a conversation.

Q: How do candidates receive and respond to my messages?

When you send a chat, candidates receive an email notification with your job details and message. They can respond directly through their web browser or download JobTarget's Jobseeker app for mobile messaging.

Q: What are the benefits of using Messaging?

Messaging streamlines your recruitment communications by keeping all candidate conversations in one organized place within Candidate Manager. This helps you stay organized, get faster responses from interested candidates, and maintain a complete communication history for each applicant.

Q: What should I include in my messages?

Keep messages professional but personable. For example: "Hi [Candidate Name], I'm reviewing your resume now and it seems like you'd be a great fit! Are you available tomorrow between 1 and 3PM EST to talk about the role?" Truly interested candidates will respond quickly to these direct, engaging messages.
