Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: aI-driven Q&A for common job inquiries and reduces candidate drop-off with quick replies. Where it lags: limited to text-based interactions. On balance the feature set — especially high-volume hiring support — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Interview scheduling on recruiter calendars is exactly what I needed, and automates repetitive screening and scheduling tasks. I do wish limited to text-based interactions, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Q&A

Can candidates “Resubcribe” or “Re-Optin”?

Once a phone number is blocked, only requrests initiated from the original “opt-out” phone number can “Re-Opt-in”. GoHire recognizes the following “Re-Opt-In” phrases: “UnStop”, “Start”, and “Yes”, as single word messages.

Asked by Amara Chukwu · Oct 2, 2025

Do you support Universal “Opt-Out” or Company-wide (Enterprise) TCPA Compliance?

By default, all long-form phone numbers have a universal “Opt-Out” feature built in. We are using the industry standard “Opt-out” phrases, and recognize the following single word “opt-out” messages; “Stop”, “StopAll”, “Unsubscribe”, “Cancel”, “End”, and “Quit”. Anytime a user sends a single word, “opt-out” message such as “stop” or “unsubscribe”, our sms chatbots are automatically configured to recognize and block any future outbound messages to that user. This same process is used across all phone numbers and chatbots grouped under the same company. So, if a candidate opts-out on one inbound text messaging number, managed by one recruiter, that same opt-out is maintained across the entire company, creating a company wide “opt-in” “Opt-out” / “Do Not Message” database.

Asked by Jamal Carter · Sep 30, 2025

What about spamming people on SMS / Text, and the Telephone Communications Privacy Act (TCPA)?

Yes, GoHire texting solutions are TCPA compliant. We are not only compliant with TCPA, but also subscribe to the Best Practices of the CTIA. With the GoHire Recruiting Chatbots, job seekers initiate the sms communication by texting to the client’s local phone number, therefore opting into the conversation. With our Recruiting Chatbots, we do not send sms messages to users who have not initiated the conversations with our chatbot, first. GoHire works directly with each customer to include both “Opt-in” and “Opt-out” messages and instructions in initial response Welcome messages. This process not only satisfies TCPA compliance, but provides candidates with an record of the required process, as it’s saved in their messaging thread.

Asked by Grace Okafor · Sep 24, 2025

Why should I invest in a chatbot?

Most employer career sites only convert 9% or less of visitors as applicants. Our clients are seeing 50% of Chatbot Engaged candidates Applying to Jobs. It’s significant!Email is getting less effective as a means to communicate. Your workforce is already using Messaging. Messaging with automation allows recruiting teams to eliminate many manual tasks, like chasing candidates on email, trying to get responses, or scheduling interviews.

Asked by Kwame Mensah · Sep 21, 2025

Can a chatbot import my jobs?

Yes, GoBe can be programmed to import/ scrape your company job postings, making the available for candidates to Find, View, and Apply via Messenger, SMS / Text Messaging, and Career Chat.
