BUILD YOUR EMPLOYER BRAND

Boost campus recruitment and create happier hires

When today’s students enter the workforce, they want opportunities to develop their professional skills and make an impact at their first company. Automated, 2-way text messaging conversations are the most effective way to show these candidates what your company has to offer. In fact, 98% of students today read every text they receive, and 90% read them within just three minutes. That’s why text messaging is the best way to engage candidates throughout the hiring process and strengthen your employer brand.

You can use Mainstay’s Employee Engagement Platform to hire, support, and retain people at every stage of their career. Our partners achieve employee response rates of 80-90% when they use our platform to automatically text their employees. Since our technology was originally created to engage college students, we know that it works to boost application completion — with our partners seeing up to a 217% increase in applications.

PREBOARDING

Keep new hires committed as they transition from college to your company

The lag period between when an early-career employee accepts a job offer and their first day of work is often when they’re most enthusiastic about their new role, but it can also be a period of silence from the employer.

That’s why preboarding is the ideal time to use conversational and empathetic 2-way text messaging to begin building strong relationships with your new hires.

Engaging new hires before they even start enables you to create a rapport and strengthen their commitment to the job. When done right, preboarding accelerates ramp-up time for new hires, so they’ll be able to contribute even faster.

  • How employee preboarding improves retention and reduces churn
