Text new job applicants instantly and follow up if they go quiet

Texts every new applicant right away, routes them to the right screening track, and follows up if they don't reply.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

When a great candidate applies, every hour you wait to respond is an hour a competitor might reach them first. Keeping track of who's been contacted, which role they applied for, and who never wrote back is hard to do by hand across a busy hiring pipeline.

Who it fits

A recruiting or HR team hiring across multiple departments who wants faster, more consistent candidate outreach.

How it works

  1. A new application comes in from your applicant tracking system
  2. The candidate's phone number is checked and saved as a contact
  3. A text message goes out matched to the role's department
  4. The candidate is enrolled in an AI screening conversation for that role
  5. If they haven't replied after a day, a follow-up text goes out and the hiring manager is alerted
What you get

Applicants texted back before they lose interest

You reach every new applicant with a text the moment they apply, and follow up automatically if they go quiet.

What you get

Faster candidate contact, an automatic screening conversation, and a Slack alert when someone needs a human follow-up.

What you need

An applicant tracking system, an Aloware account, and a Slack workspace for alerts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
