SMS workflow

Use SMS when speed and context both matter

ATZ CRM SMS integration helps recruiters handle quick candidate conversations without losing the job, candidate, and next-action context.

Start from a record

Use a candidate profile, shortlist, job, or talent pool as the source of the SMS workflow.

Send a recruiter-reviewed text

Use SMS for availability checks, reminders, status updates, and quick candidate follow-up.

Review the reply

Track responses with the candidate record so the team sees what happened.

Create the next action

Why SMS context matters

Texting works best when recruiters can see the record behind the reply

Fast responses still need context. ATZ CRM keeps SMS activity connected to the candidate, job, owner, and next step.
