Built for a Simpler, Smarter Candidate Experience
At Harver, we’re always looking for ways to make hiring more inclusive, efficient, and candidate-friendly. That’s why we’re excited to introduce SMS Communications—a suite of mobile-first messaging features that includes SMS Authentication, SMS Registration, and SMS Reminders.
Whether you’re trying to reduce drop-offs, improve login success rates, or keep candidates engaged throughout the hiring journey, SMS delivers the speed, simplicity, and reach today’s job seekers expect.
Why It Matters
Today’s candidates—especially Gen Z and frontline talent—live on their phones. They expect fast, text-based communication, not emails that get buried or logins that require passwords they’ve forgotten.
With Harver’s SMS Communications, you can:
- Customize text messages to match your brand voice through our easy-to-use Communication Center
- Enable frictionless login with one-time codes sent via text
- Deliver assessment links directly to candidates’ phones
- Send timely reminders to nudge completion and reduce drop-off
- Reach candidates who don’t use email—or don’t check it regularly
What’s Included in SMS Communications
Harver’s SMS Communications suite is designed to support every stage of the candidate journey—from initial registration to final assessment completion. By combining mobile-first login, real-time messaging, and automated reminders, you can create a seamless experience that keeps candidates engaged and moving forward. Here’s how each feature works to simplify access and boost results:
SMS Authentication
Let candidates log in using a secure, one-time code sent via text—no email, no password, no friction. It’s fast, mobile-native, and ideal for Gen Z and mobile-first users.
SMS Registration
Make it easier for candidates to start their journey. Send registration links via SMS so they can jump into assessments without needing an inbox.
SMS Reminders
Keep candidates moving with up to two automated reminder messages. Choose from preset intervals (1 to 48 hours) and customize plain-text templates to match your tone.
Built for Engagement and Results
SMS Communications isn’t just about convenience—it’s a strategic tool for driving better hiring outcomes. By meeting candidates where they are and removing common barriers like forgotten passwords or missed emails, you can boost completion rates, reduce support overhead, and accelerate time-to-hire. It’s a smarter way to keep candidates engaged from start to finish.
