TextUs Partners with Staffing Referrals to Help Staffing Firms Find More Qualified Candidates

The TextUs and Staffing Referrals partnership combines referral management automation with SMS outreach, allowing staffing firms to capture more referral leads and engage them instantly via text. It brings the referral experience of consumer platforms like Uber to the staffing industry.

Employee and candidate referrals consistently produce higher-quality hires at lower cost-per-placement than job board sourcing. Referred candidates are pre-vetted by someone who knows the job requirements and company culture, making them more likely to succeed and stay.

SMS follows up on referral submissions instantly, reaching the referred candidate while their interest is highest. A fast, personalized text from a real recruiter converts more referral leads than waiting for email follow-up that may arrive hours or days later.
