WhatsApp for Recruitment: Fill Roles Before Rivals Reply

Screen candidates, book interviews, and cut no-shows on the channel they actually answer

A candidate messages about your warehouse role at 6 PM. If your recruiter calls back tomorrow afternoon, they have already accepted a shift somewhere else. Transket screens them in seconds on WhatsApp, books the interview, sends the reminder, and collects the paperwork, built on the official, Meta-certified WhatsApp Business API.

One Platform for the Whole Hiring Funnel

Source the candidate, screen and book, run interviews and onboarding, then redeploy.

Let People Apply Where They Already Are

Career portals lose most applicants at the login screen

Click to WhatsApp Ads open your job campaigns straight into a chat, so a candidate applies in a message instead of registering on a portal and uploading a resume on a phone. For volume and frontline hiring, that difference is most of your pipeline.

Add QR codes to shopfront hiring posters, campus stands, and job fairs, and a chat widget to your careers page, so every source feeds the same inbox.

WhatsApp use cases

  • Job ads open a chat, not a portal signup

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about running recruitment on WhatsApp.

Yes, and response rates are the reason: candidates answer a WhatsApp message far faster than an email or an unknown call. The bot screens for role, experience, location, and notice period, and your recruiters pick up qualified candidates from the shared inbox with the full exchange attached.

It asks the qualifying questions you set, captures answers as structured data on the candidate's contact record, and routes fits to a recruiter. High-volume roles stop consuming recruiter hours on first-touch screening, and no candidate waits days for an acknowledgement.

Yes, to opted-in candidates. Segment the pool by role, location, or experience and send relevant openings as campaigns with an apply button in the chat. Relevance keeps the list healthy: candidates who receive matching roles reply, and those who opt out update automatically.

Yes. Reminders with confirm and reschedule options arrive on WhatsApp where candidates actually see them, and a cancellation frees the slot in time to fill it. The silent no-show, where a candidate simply never appears, mostly comes from reminders sent to channels nobody checks.

Yes. Candidate chats route to the right recruiter or sit in a shared queue, with tags for role and stage, and collision alerts so two recruiters never answer the same candidate. The agency speaks with one number, and pipelines survive staff changes.

No. Connect your WhatsApp Business number, build screening flows with the drag-and-drop builder, and go live from one dashboard. You supply the roles and screening criteria; the technical side is handled.
