1-to-1 texting

Text candidates and employees from wherever you already work

Every reply lands on the candidate or employee record
One business number per recruiter or team — never a personal phone

Pictures and MMS

Send more than words

Directions to the site, a parking map, a photo of the badge or the uniform — and in the other direction, a picture of a license or certification. It all moves as MMS in the same 1-to-1 thread, and every picture is saved to the person’s record.

Local numbers

One number or a hundred — each one local

Run the whole team on a single business number, or give every store, warehouse, clinic or distribution center its own. Emissary provisions numbers in the local area code of each facility, so a text from Store 118 looks like it comes from Store 118 — and replies route to the recruiter or team that owns it.

A number per recruiter, team or facility — add one in minutes
Local area codes matched to each location, so a text looks like it comes from down the street
Shared numbers for teams, answered from one inbox
Every number registered for 10DLC and usable for calls as well as texts
