Automated screening
Frequently Asked Questions
TextWork is AI text message recruiting software. An AI agent texts each applicant the moment they apply or text in, and asks your screening questions. Your team gets a scored report, the full transcript and a recommended next step. A person still decides who moves forward.
Applicants answer texts. They often ignore email and career portals, especially after a shift or from a jobsite. In our data, 4 in 5 applicants reply to the first text, with a median reply time of 42 seconds, including nights and weekends.
You choose the screening questions: experience, availability, location, licenses or certifications, start date and any knockout criteria. The AI asks one question at a time, follows up on incomplete answers, and writes a structured summary so you can compare candidates.
TextWork is a text message hiring tool for teams that hire at volume and can’t call every applicant: hourly and frontline roles, skilled trades, staffing desks and lean recruiting teams. You don’t need a recruiting department. Owners and hiring managers use it directly.
Every conversation is saved with its transcript, extracted details, score and recommended next step. Your team opens the dashboard, sees who can actually take the job, and calls, schedules or keeps texting.
Yes. TextWork qualifies and organizes applicants without locking them into automation. Once someone is ready, your team has the full context to text, call or book them directly.
Plans start at $99 a month. The bigger cost is the recruiter time you spend today: salary, minutes per screen and monthly applicant volume. Use the savings calculator to estimate it at your volume.
About 5 minutes to set up text message screening for a simple funnel. Write the questions, connect Indeed, your website, your applicant tracking system or a dedicated number, and start testing conversations right away.
Yes. Applicants can come from Indeed, your website, job-board ads, an applicant tracking system such as SmartRecruiters, QR codes, inbound texts or a manual import. Every new applicant gets a text right away instead of waiting in an inbox.
