Bulk messaging is a great way to reach out to multiple candidates at once. This is not “group text” but a bunch of individual messages so candidates won’t be able to see each other’s responses.

So to get started we will click “New" and give it a title. T

You’ll then select your audience, individually or via a list, and choose static or dynamic. If you hit preview, it shows you everyone that will be sent the message based on the what you have selected.

Time to craft your message, which is very similar to the 1-1 texting. You can use your snippets here and your templates.

One very important thing to call out with Bulk Messaging is that our opt out language is automatically checked and we highly recommend it to build trust with the candidates and prevent your messages from being marked as spam by carriers. It also informs the candidates that they can respond STOP at any time to opt out or START to opt back in.

You can also add nudges to bulk messages. The cool thing about nudges in bulk messaging is, if you send out a bulk message to 10 people and 6 people respond, only the 4 people who didn’t respond will receive nudges.

Next, you’ll assign who will receive the replies for this bulk message and schedule the message to go out.
