Two-way — the big one

Turn one-way alerts into two-way conversations

Most HR, payroll & scheduling tools only blast one-way email — no one can reply. Routed through TextBolt, that same alert becomes a two-way text: employees reply to confirm a shift, flag an absence, or ask a question — and it threads right back to your inbox.

  • “Reply YES to claim” just works
  • Delivery receipts on every message

Email-to-SMS

Any tool that emails can text your team

Your HR, payroll, ATS, or scheduling software doesn’t need an “integration.” Authorize its sending address once and it texts through TextBolt — interview invites, payday notices, document requests.

  • Works even if you’re not on their integrations list
  • No API, no developer, no IT ticket

Why a text — not WhatsApp or another app

A text gets opened. An app message gets ignored.

For reaching your people, the channel is the message.

🔔

The sound you can’t ignore

A text’s native tone triggers an instinctive check — people read texts within minutes. App pings get swiped away with the rest of the noise.

🛡️

It reads as official & trusted

Banks, doctors and employers communicate by SMS — so a text carries authority. A WhatsApp or social ping feels personal and easy to dismiss.

📵

Everyone already has it

No app to install, no account, no “are you on WhatsApp?” — it works on any phone, even older handsets. The true common denominator for a frontline team.

🧹

No feed, no algorithm

Your message sits alone in a clean inbox — not buried under group chats, statuses and ads all competing for the same attention.

Everything included

One simple tool for your whole workforce

Use cases

What teams text their people about

Interview invites

Send the slot by text and get a confirm-by-reply — far higher response than email.

Same-day reminders

A "you’re on in 1 hour" text cuts no-shows for interviews and orientations.

Reschedule by reply

Candidates text back to confirm or move — two-way, threaded to the recruiter.

High-volume hiring

Retail, warehouse, healthcare hiring at scale — text whole batches of applicants.

Offer & next-step nudges

Offer-ready, document, and start-date reminders that actually get seen.

From your ATS

Greenhouse, Lever, Workable or a scheduler emails it — TextBolt texts the candidate.

FAQ

Interview & Recruiting SMS — questions

Does this work with our ATS or scheduling tool?
Yes, without an integration. If your ATS or scheduler can email the candidate (invite, confirmation, reminder), TextBolt turns that email into a text. No API, no per-ATS connector to wait on.
Can candidates reply or reschedule?
Yes — it’s two-way. Candidates text back to confirm, ask a question, or request a new time, and replies thread to the recruiter, so coordination happens in one place.
Will it really reduce interview no-shows?
A confirm-by-reply invite plus a same-day reminder consistently beats email, because texts are read within minutes and confirming is one tap. Fewer empty interview slots.
Do candidates need an app?
No — standard SMS to any phone. Nothing to download, no account to create.
What does it cost?
From $29/mo, self-serve, 7-day free trial, no demo required.
