Recruitment Playbook

WhatsApp built for recruitment and staffing consultants.

The messaging platform behind teams running Bullhorn and Vincere: candidate outreach, screening, interview scheduling and placement aftercare.

Pain points

What's going wrong today.

Candidates ghosting emails and unanswered calls while a competing agency reaches them first on WhatsApp.

Screening notes and CVs scattered across consultants' personal phones, lost the day someone hands in their notice.

No visibility into which consultant last spoke to which candidate, so two people chase the same person.

How Stitch runs the day

From first message to CRM record.

  1. 01

    Application or lead lands

    Total Jobs or website application auto-captured and routed to a consultant.

  2. 02

    WhatsApp opener

    Templated first touch within 60 seconds asking for availability for a screening call.

  3. 03

    Screening and interview booked

    AI or human asks qualifying questions and books the interview in-thread.

  4. 04

    Handoff and placement care

    Full history syncs to Bullhorn or Vincere; check-ins continue through onboarding.

Live in action

In the site's demo script, a candidate asks whether a Finance Director role in Windsor is still open. That single message is exactly what Stitch routes straight to the consultant already working the role.

Impact metrics

Where recruitment stands today

Three positions. All three carry risk.

Not on WhatsApp

Absent from the channel candidates increasingly expect over email.

On personal phones

Candidate relationships and chat history leave with the consultant.

On the free Business app

No shared inbox, no CRM sync, no cover when a consultant is out.

Relevant integrations

Where Stitch plugs in.

Bullhorn and Vincere are confirmed recruitment CRM integrations, and Total Jobs is a confirmed recruitment portal integration. A Vincere customer is already referenced in Stitch's case studies, on the move from missed messages to booked interviews.

Director's checklist

Questions to ask your team this week.

  • How many applications get a same-day response versus a same-week response?
  • Which consultant's phone holds candidate chat history that the business can't see?
  • Could you produce a candidate's full message history for a data request today?
  • Where could a QR code on a job ad or portal listing open a WhatsApp chat instead of a form?
