Where iMessage runs in the funnel
Trigger BD to hiring managers on new reqs
Scheduled sends land at 8:15am local naming the exact role. Read receipts show who saw it; BD rep works replies live.
Interview confirmations that stick
Confirmations at T-24 and T-2 with address and voice memo. Silence at T-24 flags backup needed. Read receipts separate no-shows from confirmed.
Redeployment before assignment ends
Ten days before contract end, next role PDF goes into thread. Redeployment is the cheapest placement a staffing firm books.
Dormant account reactivation in three touches
Three-touch campaign to quiet hiring managers captures 93% of all replies a sequence will earn. No A2P queue delays.
Frequently asked questions
Does a hiring manager or candidate need an iPhone?
No. iPhone users get blue bubble with read receipts; everyone gets RCS then SMS from the same line. Thread stays in one place.
Do I need A2P registration?
No. White-glove setup skips carrier vetting and approval queues. Unlimited iMessages; new outreach paced 50 opted-in / 30 cold daily.
Does this connect to Bullhorn or JobAdder?
GoHighLevel is native. Bullhorn, Crelate, JobAdder, Loxo and HubSpot via REST API and webhooks. ATS stages fire messages; replies write back.
Should I use this for candidates or client BD or both?
Both on separate consent logic. Client BD to hiring managers is standard B2B. Candidate messaging runs on people who gave you a number for recruiting.
What does it cost?
$249/line/mo or $1,949/year ($162.50/mo). Most firms start one BD line + one delivery line. $199/line at 4+. Leads add-on: $0.03 per contact.
