FAQ
WhatsApp for HR & Recruitment: FAQs
Is it appropriate to contact candidates on WhatsApp?
Yes, when candidates have opted in, for example on your application form. Keep messages professional and relevant to their application.
Can screening be automated fairly?
Automated questions help apply the same criteria consistently. Final decisions should be made by people, and questions should comply with employment and anti-discrimination laws.
Can we collect CVs and documents?
Candidates can share files in chat, but for identity and sensitive documents we recommend a secure upload portal linked from WhatsApp.
Can we use WhatsApp for employee communication?
Yes, for opted-in employees. Many organisations use it for shift updates, announcements and onboarding.
