NEW YORK — Greenhouse, the leading hiring platform, today announced its strategic partnership with Atlanta-based Grayscale, a leading enterprise-focused texting and automation platform that supports frictionless high-volume hiring. Greenhouse customers can now add Grayscale’s texting and automation solutions directly through the product offering: Texting, powered by Grayscale.
Modern recruiting needs modern communication – candidates want to hear updates on their job application through the fastest and most convenient method. According to Twilio, 89% of candidates prefer texting to other methods of communicating during the hiring process, and in the newest Greenhouse Candidate Experience Survey (coming May 2024), nearly 8 in 10 candidates across the US (77%) expect a response from a prospective employer within two weeks of applying. More efficient communication leads to better candidate experiences, which greatly improves an organization’s ability to hire and retain top talent in an ever competitive job market.
