How does apply-by-text work?

A candidate texts a shortcode or scans a QR code, completes a conversational screen on their phone in English or Spanish, and self-schedules an interview — all without a resume or a laptop.

Where do operators put the QR codes?

Anywhere their candidates already are — counters, windows, vehicle wraps, break rooms, yard signs, and flyers. Every surface becomes a screened application channel.

Apply-by-Text Recruiting for Deskless Hiring

The lowest-friction application wins the deskless candidate. TALNT turns a QR code or a shortcode on any physical surface into a screened, scheduled applicant — no resume, no laptop, no app to download.

Screen + schedule on apply

The status quo is expensive

Online application forms lose most hourly applicants before they finish
Your best candidates are standing in your store, not browsing job boards
Phone tag to schedule a first interview adds days you don't have

How TALNT changes it

Any surface becomes an application

Generate a branded 'Text to Apply' flyer or QR for any role and location in one click — counter cards, window clings, truck decals, break-room posters.

Screened on arrival

A text or QR apply triggers the same instant screening as any other channel — recommendation, knockout flags, and a scheduling link, automatically.

Self-schedule without a call

Candidates pick an interview time from a link the moment they pass screening, so the pipeline advances without a coordinator lifting a finger.

Every open req is lost throughput. Close the gap.
