Curately Messaging

Compliant two-way SMS, built into the way recruiters already work

Candidates answer texts. They don't answer calls, and they rarely answer email. Curately Messaging gives your recruiting team a full two-way SMS workspace that sits directly over your ATS — no second app to log into, no personal cell phones, no phone numbers copied and pasted between screens. Every conversation is captured, compliant, and written back to the candidate record.

The problem

“Recruiters shouldn't have to jump between their ATS, personal phones, spreadsheets, and multiple applications just to have a conversation with candidates.”

01

The workflow is fragmented

Numbers get copied between screens, and the record the recruiter is working is never the place the conversation happens.

02

The history is scattered

Conversations live on personal phones and in side tools, so the business never holds the full picture.

03

The risk sits with the recruiter

Consent, opt-outs and send limits become individual judgement calls rather than platform rules.

Where recruiters work

It works where your recruiters already are

Curately Messaging runs as a browser extension that travels with the recruiter across every tab — including your ATS. There is no separate texting portal to learn.

Works with the ATS you already use

Use cases

What recruiting teams actually use it for

The same workspace covers the conversations a recruiting desk has every day.

Candidate re-engagement

Bring past applicants and silver-medal candidates back into an active conversation instead of letting the database go cold.

Hi Priya, a new ICU contract just opened near you. Still looking?

Interview scheduling

Confirm times, send reminders and handle reschedules in the same thread the candidate already replies to.

Tuesday at 10am works — I'll send the confirmation now.

Shift fulfillment

Reach a qualified list at once when a shift needs covering, with every message delivered as an individual text.

Night shift open Thursday. Reply YES if you can take it.

Credential collection

Chase licenses, certifications and documents over text, with attachments handled in the conversation.

Can you send your updated BLS card before Friday?

Job marketing campaigns

Promote open roles to a targeted list using templates and merge fields, scheduled for the right day and time.

3 new travel roles in Dallas this week — want the details?

Candidate nurturing

Stay in touch between placements so the relationship, and the conversation history, stays with your business.

Checking in — how is the current assignment going?

Outreach

Everything a recruiter needs to run outreach

One-to-one texting

For real conversations with candidates.

Broadcast messaging

Reach hundreds at once — each one delivered as a personalized individual text, never a group chat.

Template library with merge fields

For candidate name, job title, recruiter name and more, so personalization stays fast.

Scheduled messages

Queued for the right day and time, editable or cancellable up until they send.

Attachments, emojis and signatures

Including a separate intro signature for first contact.

Auto-reply and working hours

So after-hours inbound messages get an immediate, professional response.

AI Copilot

AI that works inside the conversation

AI Copilot reads the thread the recruiter is already working, drafts the response and points to the next step. The recruiter stays in control of what gets sent.

  1. Candidate conversation

    The thread the recruiter is already working

  2. AI Copilot

    Reads the thread in context

  3. Personalized response

    Drafted in the recruiter's tone

  4. Recommended next action

    Suggested follow-up step

Personalization

Draft messages that reflect the candidate, the role and the conversation so far.

Tone adjustments

Refine tone, length and clarity before anything is sent.

Conversation summaries

Catch up on a long thread without reading every message.

Recommended next actions

See the suggested follow-up step for the conversation in front of you.

AI-generated outreach

Start a message from scratch when there is no template that fits.

Teamwork

Built for teams, not just individuals

JSAMRKTD

One shared line. Four recruiters. Every message, note and handoff visible to the whole desk.

  1. Duplicate outreach prevention

    If a colleague is already texting the same candidate, the recruiter sees it before sending — and can open that conversation to read the context.

  2. Internal notes with @mentions

    Hand off action items without ever sending anything to the candidate.

  3. Inbox delegation

    For vacation and out-of-office coverage, with a defined start and end date.

  4. Starring, archiving and a “Not Replied” filter

    Keep a busy desk under control.

Shared inboxes

One line, worked by the whole desk

Give a desk its own number, or let a team work a single line together. Whoever picks up the conversation has the full history in front of them.

Staffing firms

Run a desk as a team, not as five separate phone numbers.

Branch locations

Give each branch its own line while administration stays central.

Healthcare desks

Keep specialty desks covered as shifts and schedules change.

Centralized recruiting

Let a central team work one line with full visibility.

Mobile

Recruiters aren't always at their desks

Candidate conversations continue when your recruiters are between meetings, on site or away from the laptop. The same workspace, the same threads, the same compliance rules — reachable from a phone.

Compliance

Compliance is handled, not left to the recruiter

Texting candidates at scale carries real regulatory and deliverability risk. Curately builds the guardrails into the send itself.

Automatic opt-out language

Appended to the first message to any new contact — and intelligently omitted on follow-ups to save characters.

STOP, START and HELP handling

Processed automatically, with an opt-out list your admins can review and manage.

Landline detection

Flags non-textable numbers before a broadcast goes out.

Outbound message

Hi Alicia, this is Jordan at Curately about the ICU role you applied for. Do you have 10 minutes Tuesday to talk?

Reply STOP to opt out.

Checks passed

Carrier filtering warnings

Alert recruiters to message content likely to be blocked as spam.

Delivery tracking on every message

Sent, delivered or failed.

Volume controls

Including configurable send limits and suppression rules that protect your sender reputation.

System of record

Every conversation lands back in your ATS

Messages are logged to the candidate record in real time — not batched overnight — and tagged by activity type so your recruiters, managers and auditors see the full communication history exactly where they expect it. Your ATS remains the system of record.

The platform

Messaging is one part of the Curately workflow

It is not a standalone texting tool. Messaging connects to the rest of the platform your team uses to find, engage and convert candidates.

  3. Voice AI
  4. Screening
  5. Scheduling

Administration

Controls your administrators will ask for

Phone number management

Permissions and send limits
Decide who can broadcast and how far their reach extends.
Template governance
Run an open library, or require admin approval before a template goes live. Your choice.
Contact and opt-out management
A central view of every SMS contact and consent status.
Messaging analytics
Volume, delivery rates, response rates and opt-out rates across the team.

Outcomes

What it changes for your team

01

Faster candidate response

Recruiters reach candidates on the channel they actually answer, without leaving the record they are working.

02

Less risk

Consent, opt-outs and send limits are enforced by the platform rather than left to individual judgement.

03

Nothing lost

No conversations stranded on personal phones — when a recruiter is out or moves on, the history stays with the business.
