How it works

From match to interview in one chat

Say a candidate wants to drop by and meet the team.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Mutual interest opens the chat

    The candidate likes your vacancy and you confirm your interest. Only then does the chat open, so nobody gets unsolicited messages and every conversation starts with a reason.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Ask what decides the hire

    Availability, shifts, transport, equipment. Settle the practical things a hire stalls on before anyone travels anywhere. Ask only what is relevant to the role.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Plan the interview in the thread

    Propose a time and follow the confirmation in the same conversation. Confirm the time, the address, the contact person and what to bring.

Portal example. Profiles and figures shown are illustrative.

What you get

Chat with candidates: everything in one conversation

The chat, the vacancy and the profile sit together. Nobody has to ask twice.

  • One thread for your whole team

    Add as many recruiter accounts as you need, with no fee per user. Everyone involved reads the same thread, so a colleague can take over the conversation.

  • Context beside the chat

    Next to the conversation you see the vacancy, the match percentage, the work history and when the candidate is available. No switching screens to remember who you are talking to.

  • Replies you do not miss

    A counter in the portal shows new messages. You choose per category what you also get by email or in your browser, so the replies that matter stand out.

  • A good first message

    Name the vacancy, ask one practical question and say what happens next. For example: Hi [name], thanks for your interest in our [role] vacancy. The shift starts at [time] in [place]. Would that work for you?
