Account Executive, SMB

  • Full-time

Company Description

TextRecruit is an award winning software to give HR leaders the power to manage their recruiter's text/mobile communication in one central location, just like email. TextRecruit is a web-based, mobile recruiting software that supports recruiting teams of one to a thousand. It can easily integrate with existing Applicant Tracking Systems or can be used independently by recruiters. 

The technology is simple. You can attract candidates through an Apply-by-Text shortcode or just connect your application tracking system with TextRecruit. We then assign all your recruiters to their TextRecruit account that will be used to communicate with candidates via their computer or the mobile app. Recruiters then send and track all text messages through the system while TextRecruit stores and helps you report on all the communication in a central location. The technology tracks the candidates when they click on the job posting in the text, and reports on response rates and the click throughs.

TextRecruit offers an exciting start up opportunity in the Bay Area, with an award winning product in the rapidly growing sectors of recruiting. Selling at TextRecruit gives you a chance to get in at the ground level of a well-positioned start-up in a booming industry. Expectations are high and wins are compensated.
