Why we use WhatsApp to contact our candidates.

23 Sep 2025

At Priority Recruitment, we know that communication matters. When you apply for a role or register with us, we want to make sure we reach you in the quickest and most effective way. That’s why we use WhatsApp to connect with our candidates.

Why WhatsApp Works

Email inboxes are more crowded than ever. Many candidates have hundred (or sometimes thousands) of unread emails, which means important updates from recruiters can easily get lost. WhatsApp, on the other hand, gets far higher engagement. Messages are seen and responded to faster, which helps speed up the entire recruitment process.

We use WhatsApp for:

Responding quickly to applications
Sending invitations to arrange a phone call or video chat
Sharing scheduling links through tools like Calendly or Microsoft Bookings
The result is a smoother experience for you, with less waiting around and fewer missed opportunities.

Staying Safe on WhatsApp

We’re also aware that scams involving fake recruiters have become increasingly common. Protecting our candidates is a priority, so here’s how you can identify a genuine message from Priority Recruitment:

Our official number: +44 7446 976266‬

Our profile picture: The Priority Recruitment logo

Tone and professionalism: Our messages will always be polite, relevant to your job search, and free from pushy tactics.

No requests for money: We will never ask candidates for payment, bank details, or sensitive personal information via WhatsApp.

Clear links: If we send a scheduling link, it will be through trusted platforms like Calendly or Microsoft Bookings.

Sometimes, our consultants will reach out to you directly (especially if they have already engaged with you). You can always confirm it’s really them as we publish their numbers and full contact information on our Meet the Team page.

If you ever receive a message that doesn’t look right, check the number, look for our logo, and if you’re still unsure, contact us directly through our website or main office number.

WhatsApp allows us to cut through the noise, making communication quicker and easier for our candidates. By staying alert to scams and knowing how to identify a genuine message, you can make the most of this fast and effective way of staying in touch with us.
