ChatAgent: Recruiting via WhatsApp
Recruiting that adapts to the everyday lives of talent
The ChatAgent is the ideal solution for modern, efficient recruiting – especially when dealing with high application volumes.
Whether in retail, logistics, healthcare, or apprenticeship campaigns – wherever large numbers of people need to be reached quickly and easily, the ChatAgent delivers its full potential.
It combines applications, job matching, 1:1 communication, and talent pool management – all directly via WhatsApp, Germany's most widely used messenger.
This creates a recruiting experience that feels familiar, removes barriers, and enables applications in just a few minutes.
With AI-powered automation, translation into over 30 languages, and direct integration with your ATS, recruiting becomes not only faster, but also more personal and more inclusive.
Why the ChatAgent stands out
Recruiting via WhatsApp is more than just a new channel – it's a true game changer for HR teams.
With the ChatAgent, you benefit from a guaranteed return on investment, reflected in three key areas:
- Reduced time-to-hire: Candidates apply spontaneously, without detours and without technical barriers.
- More relevant applications: AI-driven matching ensures quality over quantity.
- Less effort: Routine tasks are automated, conversations become more efficient, and data flows directly into the ATS.
Key features at a glance
⇒ WhatsApp Application
In under 3 minutes, candidates apply directly in the chat – barrier-free, mobile-optimised, and with a completion rate of 82%.
The entire application process is shifted to the familiar channel that talent already uses every day. This means you can also reach target groups who often drop off on traditional career pages or application forms.
⇒ Webchat on the careers page
An optional chat button on your careers page instantly opens up dialogue:
Instead of clicking through navigation menus, applicants are guided directly to suitable jobs – intuitively, quickly, and interactively.
The ChatAgent automatically answers frequently asked questions, guides candidates through the application process, and significantly increases the conversion rate.
⇒ AI job matching
The integrated artificial intelligence analyses candidates' responses and automatically suggests suitable positions.
This reduces mismatched applications and increases satisfaction – on both sides.
At the same time, data such as qualifications or interests is captured in a structured way and transferred directly to the ATS.
⇒ Automatic translation into over 30 languages
Recruiting knows no language barriers:
The ChatAgent detects the language set on the candidate's smartphone and automatically translates all messages. This allows you to reach talent worldwide – or locally in multilingual regions – without any manual translation.
⇒ 1:1 chat & talent pool communication
Communicate directly and in a targeted way with applicants – individually or in groups.
Whether for recruitment open days, internal job postings, or re-engagement from the talent pool – the ChatAgent brings all conversations together in one central interface.
This keeps you in personal contact without overwhelming your inbox.
⇒ Kleinanzeigen integration
Through the automated connection to kleinanzeigen.de, you can publish jobs with just a few clicks. Interested professionals apply directly via WhatsApp – no form or login required. This significantly speeds up the recruiting process and ensures consistently high visibility for your job listings.
