Voice message broadcasting, when you need it, wherever you need it

At some point in our careers as recruiting professionals, it is highly likely we have been in the situation of supporting difficult clients, hard-to-fill needs, with next to impossible hiring deadlines. We all know that connecting with candidates is the most critical function of recruiting, yet on-going distractions throughout the day make it difficult to satisfy this fundamental aspect of what we do.

While some things remain outside of our control, the good news is that innovation in mobile technology has opened up a new channel for connecting with prospective candidates. Today, it is still a time-consuming process to call candidates individually in order to notify them of new career opportunities. However, thanks to a relatively new service called Pinger that has all changed. A key advantage of Pinger is that it provides users the ability to send a broadcast voice message to thousands of mobile recipients. Let’s say you are a recruiter with a well established candidate pipeline and all you need is a communication vehicle for pushing career updates.
