Following up applicants

I follow up your applicants automatically.

You get the applications, I make sure someone speaks to them straight away. At 23:11 too.

Create an accountSee how I work

The first two weeks are free. By then you'll know.

You, as an applicant for a moment, at 23:14. Nobody rings back at that hour.

The real problem

Not the candidate. The clock.

Nothing much goes wrong. There's just too much time going by.

  1. 21:47

    He applies, after his shift

  2. 09:30

    You ring, he's on the shop floor

  3. 14:10

    Second attempt, voicemail again

  4. Day 3

    He's interviewing somewhere else

I'm there at 21:52. That's the whole difference.

Sound familiar?

Does this sound like your week?

  • “Six replies to the operator vacancy. Rang four times, got hold of one person.”

    Production manager, food industry

  • “They apply between shifts. That's when we're in the team meeting.”

    HR adviser, manufacturing company

  • “By the time I ring back, he's working further down the industrial estate.”

    Recruiter, engineering and production

  • Production operatives
  • Operators
  • Shift work
  • Forklift
  • Maintenance

How I follow up

Four moments, no diary needed

You don't have to be there for a single one of them.

  1. Within 5 minutes: the first messageHis phone is still in his hand. Later is later.
  2. Right after that: your questionsShifts, travel time, notice period, certificates. No second round of calls.
  3. If it stays quiet: one reminderFriendly, in the same conversation. Not three times.
  4. After that: over to youWhoever fits is ready for you. The rest know where they stand.

I don't send appointment reminders for interviews you schedule. What I can't do, I don't promise.

Those applications cost you money.

They came in, they were warm, and half of them you never speak to. That isn't your recruiter being lazy, that's the clock.

~60%

of warm candidates from ads don't get followed up in time

What the team behind me sees in practice, across more than 110 employers.

The complaint I hear most

Applicants who stop replying

Usually not a lack of interest, but the channel. Nobody rings back a missed call from a number they don't know.

One reminder. Usually it takes no more than that.
  • One friendly reminder, in the same conversation
  • No reply? Then that's noted, with how far we got
  • Per candidate you see when the contact ran
  • You step in yourself whenever you want

More on this: why applicants stop replying.

From your campaigns

Following up leads on WhatsApp

Your agency calls them leads. They're people who replied to your vacancy, and they're going cold.

  • A form on your ad
  • A job board
  • Your own website
  • A campaign from your marketing agency

I pick it up the moment a name and number land in your system. That connection runs through Zapier, which talks to more than 5,000 apps.

No connection with Meta or TikTok themselves, but with the place the reply lands. What goes wrong after a recruitment lead.

Proof

What speed gets you

  • 20Voicemails a week a recruiter no longer has to leave.
  • 5 minThat's how long it takes me to send the first message. At night too.
