Key Recommendations
1. Use the AI Recruiter
The system (called "Joy") automates candidate outreach by:
- Sending text invitations within minutes of application
- Answering candidate questions
- Conducting initial interviews
- Delivering notes, recordings, and updated résumés
Over 60% of applications arrive outside business hours, making 24/7 automation valuable.
2. Lean into Text First
Rather than phone calls, use Classet's built-in texting feature via the 'Contact' option. A suggested template reads: "Hi [candidateName] - I received your interview for our open [jobTitle] role, and would love to speak with you ASAP..."
Wait one day before escalating to direct calls.
3. Pick up the Phone
For strong candidates, treat outreach like customer leads—every hour of delay reduces hiring probability.
4. Use Classet Tools to Stay Organized
- Document conversation notes in the 'Comments & Reviews' section
- Use the 'Shortlist' feature to track top candidates
- Update candidate statuses regularly (interviewed, offered, disqualified)
- Filter candidates by status for team visibility
