Want to turn your next customer into your newest employee? Giving jobseekers an easy way to apply to your restaurant with HigherMe’s Text-To-Apply technology can help you get a higher quantity and quality of candidates.
70% of job applications are now completed on a mobile device, with a growing number of people applying from their phones each year. Mobile friendly job applications are convenient, as passing jobseekers or loyal customers can easily apply on the go. With nearly 80% of the under-25 workforce using a smartphone, Text-To-Apply is essential for enabling Generation Z (ages 14-25) to apply for jobs at a time when only 19 percent of 15- to 17-year-olds are in the workforce.
HigherMe’s Text-To-Apply technology gets you candidates that are eight times more likely to be hired compared to those who apply from traditional sources. In the last quarter of 2018, a 40-unit national pizza chain got 700 applications, 30% of their total applicant volume, by using HigherMe’s Text-To-Apply. Customers who were already visiting their favourite pizzeria had an easy way to apply for a job while waiting for their order. Getting applications from current customers who knew and loved the brand gave the company a strong pool of applicants. Since then, 45% of those applicants have been hired. Our data shows that employees who experience a seamless application process are more engaged once hired, which leads to higher sales and less turnover.
Text-To-Apply is easy to start using, so you can start getting more applications straight away. Our team creates a custom poster for your business which includes a unique basic keyword. Jobseekers text the keyword to start the application process. Text-To-Apply also automates your hiring, with messages sent to candidates reminding them to complete any application they’ve already started. Customers using the full suite of HigherMe software can view all their applications on one simple mobile-friendly dashboard, where candidates are automatically ranked from 0 to 100 using FitScore smart algorithms, so you can quickly sort and screen for the best talent.
