With this, you may also start communicating and pushing them to opt-in for getting updates.<\/li><li>Start with salutation or greeting. Then, introduce yourself. Let candidates feel that you know who they are, where they are from, and why you are texting them.<\/li><li>As aforesaid, prompt them to opt-in to the text recruiting software (tool) for exchanging messages in the future.

The shorter message will have more chances to convert into a higher response rate. For long messages, there is a mailing option. You may switch to it.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Choose normal working hours for communication. Sometimes, it may not be possible.

You may adjust settings to prevent this from happening.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Avoid messaging on a personal contact number unless you know the candidate and trust him.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t send any text messages to the contact details that seem unprofessional or spammy.<\/li><li>It\u2019s OK to send emojis, as they personalize the entire messaging experience. But, too many emojis in a message won\u2019t show you a professional. So, avoid it.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t skip the positive role of recruitment communication with candidates.
