THE CHALLENGE:
THE SOLUTION
How do Zoho Recruit and WhatsApp revolutionize the selection process?
Direct and Efficient Communication: With the ability to directly connect with candidates via WhatsApp, companies can establish closer relationships, bypassing delays in emails or phone calls. This also paves the way for receiving immediate responses, streamlining the selection process.
Unification of Messaging Platforms: No more jumping between different apps to manage conversations. The integration of Zoho Recruit with WhatsApp allows multiple platforms, such as WhatsApp Cloud API, Facebook, Instagram, and web chats, all centralized in Zoho Projects. This feature is crucial for ensuring consistent and effective communication with candidates.
Conversation Automation: Thanks to WOZTELL LiveChat, chatbots and automated workflows can be implemented, simplifying conversations and ensuring that frequent or initial questions are handled quickly and effectively.
User Control: WOZTELL LiveChat provides total control over Zoho Recruit users, enabling companies to effectively manage team members’ roles and permissions.
Efficient Task Distribution: The integration allows for task distribution based on agent availability and roles. This ensures that each candidate receives attention from the most suitable person at the right time, further optimizing the selection process.
Zoho Recruit and WhatsApp usage example
After posting the job offer, hundreds of applications began to pour in. Reviewing each one, and then contacting candidates through calls or emails, was not only time-consuming but also reduced the effectiveness of communication.
With the integration of Zoho Recruit and WhatsApp powered by WOZTELL, the process changed radically:
1. Immediate Communication: Upon identifying an interesting profile, the recruiter could send a direct message via WhatsApp, establishing almost immediate first contact. This speed facilitated responses and accelerated interviews.
2. Platform Centralization: While some candidates reached out via Facebook or web chats, all messages arrived in the same place thanks to the integration with Zoho Projects, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps.
3. Automatic Responses: Through WOZTELL LiveChat, candidates could resolve initial questions with chatbots, allowing the recruiter to focus on more relevant interactions.
4. Task Distribution: Upon identifying a promising candidate, the recruiter could reassign the task to a technician to assess the aspirant’s technical skills, all managed from the same platform.
Thanks to this integration, in less than a week, the recruiter found the perfect candidate, streamlining a process that traditionally took weeks and allowing the project to proceed without delays. Furthermore, the chosen candidate appreciated the fast and direct communication, providing an excellent first impression of the company.
