WhatsApp is one of the most popular messenger apps in the world. It provides people with instant communication from any mobile device, so using it can help you find qualified candidates more efficiently and make the hiring process faster.

Recruiters today need to be able to text candidates at a moment's notice, which is why we created the new XOR Chrome Extension. Our new extension allows recruiters to add candidates to their prescheduled text message, WhatsApp, and email campaigns directly from their ATS or any other website.

Remotely connecting with talent has gotten easier as new tools have entered the market. An option to consider for one of your hiring solutions should be hosting a virtual career fair. These scheduled online events allow for candidates to interact with either recruiters or a chatbot to learn more about a role without having to arrive in person.

The rapid rise and spread of COVID-19 is hurting millions of people around the world, and we feel it speaking with our clients, partners and own team here at XOR. To help support the people we love to work with, XOR will be offering select Employee Communication solutions, including a COVID-19 employee checkup survey and employee alerts and updates, for free during this time.

Virtual recruiting is gaining a more prominent place within the technology stacks of talent acquisition, staffing and RPO teams, especially as of late. In a hiring environment where it’s increasingly difficult to get everyone in the same room and high-quality talent gets claimed quickly, a recruitment process with remote flexibility can provide a significant advantage.

Chatbots are a type of software that provides automation tools to assist with different processes. These applications are also sometimes referred to as recruitment chatbots or virtual recruiting assistants when they are put to use helping with recruitment tasks.
