How Chatbots Give You a Recruiting Advantage
Your applicants spend a lot of time and effort to get into your talent pipeline. A pleasant candidate experience is the best first impression you can offer them. It sets the tone for the entire employment relationship.
Nothing hurts your relationship with them more than your silence. Not only that - applicants who have had a good experience are 38% more likely to accept a job offer. And if you leave them dangling, you will never know if they could qualify for another open position in your organization.
Does your inbox have a couple of emails from prospect candidates saying, "offer declined"? Tried calling them and not getting connected?
Is it because in the rush of administrative work you forgot to contact them?

Reinvent the candidate experience with chatbots
Engage candidates with timely communication
A chatbot acts as a real-time medium of communication and engagement. It responds to routine questions immediately and reaches out to a human right away when necessary.
Reduce candidate drop-off rate
Most companies have an 80% drop-off rate during their application process.
A chatbot integrated with your recruiting system sustains the communication with your candidates at regular intervals which in turn reduces the drop-off rate.
Lead to greater brand advocacy

Chatbots can take a load off your shoulders and ensure a positive candidate experience during the early stages of recruitment. When your candidates have regular updates about their status in the submission pipeline, they are more likely to promote your brand.
