The social recruiting and marketing
platform LinkedIn recently announced a new voice messaging feature. It
allows users to record and send brief audio clips instead of typing out
messages. This feature can help reduce the time it takes to reach out to
potential recruits and adds a personal touch from your business. That
personal experience could make the difference for talented applicants
who are used to getting a canned response.
Maximizing This Feature
Using this feature can
combat the perception that your company doesn’t care about applicants on
a personal level. With this in mind, consider using voice replies to
show applicants you care. If a person thinks you don’t care about their
application, why should they want to work for you?
