Integrating Page Up with WhatsApp

Do you use PageUp as your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and want to communicate with your candidates via WhatsApp? Mercu's AI-powered recruitment automation platform integrates seamlessly with PageUp to help you screen candidates, schedule interviews, and instantly answer candidate questions via WhatsApp. By integrating PageUp with WhatsApp using Mercu, you can significantly boost candidate engagement and response rates while automating repetitive recruiter tasks.

Why WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is the world's most popular chat app, with over 3 billion monthly active users. Younger candidates and those in industries like retail, hospitality, warehousing, aged care, and logistics strongly prefer chat apps over email. WhatsApp messages boast a 98% open rate, with 80% opened within the first five minutes. Not using WhatsApp in your hiring strategy is a big missed opportunity.

By integrating WhatsApp into your recruitment process, you can reach potential hires instantly, improving response rates and overall candidate engagement.
