SMS Blasts
SMS blasts send text messages to selected candidates.How SMS Blasts Work
- Message: Enter up to 2000 characters
- Template variables: Use
{{candidate_name}}for personalization - Recipients: System sends to candidates with phone numbers from previous SMS engagement
- Filtering: Option to only send to candidates who haven’t completed interviews and aren’t knocked out
Rate Limiting
SMS messages are rate limited to once per hour per candidate. This prevents spam and maintains professional communication.- If you attempt to text a candidate who received an SMS in the last hour, they will be automatically skipped
- The system tracks this automatically - you don’t need to manage it manually
- Skipped candidates will show “rate_limited” as the reason in your blast results
