Reach out to potential hires in real-time and shorten your recruiting process, Send instant messages on VanHack’s ATS. One of the top-rated ATS features by HR teams is instant messaging – the ability to send quick, short messages to candidates in your hiring pipeline.
If you’re a talent manager or HR specialist, you’re familiar with how much time the recruitment process can be spent on emails, interviews, meetings, and more. The minutes become hours very quickly when you’re hiring for multiple roles or screening large numbers of candidates, and you may ultimately find yourself spending days shuffling through meetings and email conversations.
To help recruiters improve their communication processes, we’re excited to announce VanHack Chat – a powerful, built-in chat feature on our ATS to allow recruiters to communicate in real-time with candidates in their pipelines, and get information to make decisions faster.
It also allows for instant messaging with VanHack Talent and Growth Managers that are assisting your account, making communication simpler and centralized.
VanHack’s ATS: Faster communication, faster hires
The Chat feature comes with dedicated Search, allowing recruiters to look through and instantly find candidates. Once you identify who you want to talk to, simply click on their names and it opens up a chat bubble. You can see the candidate’s full name, their position as well as their last time of activity on the platform.
See an overview of the candidate’s information easily
Next to the chat bubble, get a bird’s-eye view of the candidate’s resume, skills, visa status, and more, ensuring that all the information you need regarding the candidate is in one place, eliminating the need for switching screens or platforms to get the data you need.
Pick up where you left off
VanHack’s instant Chat feature lets you easily continue conversations. Find the candidates you’ve been messaging under “Last Chats” to send information about next steps and see their replies.
Save time on searching and more time on communicating.
Busy recruiters often screen a large number of candidates on VanHack’s ATS platform, and revisit selected ones to start conversations with. Instead of searching for each person to message, easily find the last 10 profiles previously opened under the “Last Candidates Seen” section.
Send instant messages on VanHack’s ATS and connect with your team instantly
Have questions regarding the candidates, or want to clarify certain hiring processes? You can connect with the VanHack team instantly. Find them under the “Talent Manager” and “Growth Manager” sections, where you can message and communicate your hiring needs, without having to go in and out of your email inbox.
Collaborate with your team
For companies with multiple recruiters managing their recruitment process, it’s table stakes to centralize communication and notes. Chat also has its own Comment section for each candidate, allowing members of your recruitment team to leave updates outside of the main chat field, privy to just your team members.
You can watch a full end-to-end Chat workflow below.
