What is text to apply?

Text-To-Apply is text recruiting software that makes it easier to connect with qualified applicants and increase applications from local job seekers.

    With Text-To-Apply, job seekers text a keyword and phone number that’s unique to your business, and receive a link to your job posts.

    Text-To-Apply applications are simple and mobile-optimized, making it easy for job seekers to apply from their phone. Job seekers that start an application but don’t finish receive automated reminders via text, boosting the application completion rate.

    All Text-To-Apply applications go straight to HigherMe’s Applicant Tracking System for simple and efficient screening.
