Text messaging is playing an ever more important role in the recruitment industry, with an increasing number of agencies employing business SMS as a discreet method of keeping in touch with candidates.
Now Esendex, the leading provider of business text messaging solutions, is offering recruitment consultancies and headhunters the chance to try business SMS in an exclusive free try-before-you-buy trial service launched today.
Under the offer, companies working in the recruitment industry are able to make use of a fully functional text messaging account, enabling them to send and receive messages directly from their PC via Esendexís Web-based application.
Companies registering for the offer will be given the chance to send and receive 250 free messages over a 14-day period.
Business SMS from Esendex is a step on from sending a text from a mobile handset ñ it can be used by email or online from any Internet-enabled computer.
Esendexís service connects directly to the mobile network operators to transmit the message. This means more messages can be delivered quicker and more reliably.
ìCustomers see texting as an affordable, reliable and non-intrusive form of customer and employee communication,î said Esendexís director, Julian Hucker.
ìTexting has risen in popularity alongside the near 100 per cent update of mobile phones: it is the only communication tool that people tend to have with them all the time, particularly when they are away from their desks.î
Veredus Executive Resourcing is one recruitment consultancy that makes use of Esendexís business SMS service. ìIt is a great service that takes some of the hassle out of job hunting,î said the companyís chairman, Hamish Davidson.
ìThere is nothing worse than wanting to get an application pack and being worried about people overhearing when you make the call, or getting into trouble for using the Internet at work.
ìNow, with the text service, you can ask for a pack easily, quickly and confidentially as no one pays any attention to people sending a text message. Then all you have to do is apply and get your next dream job.î
The free trial can be obtained by registering over the phone on 0845 3565758.
