Why WhatsApp

The channel candidates actually open

Email open rates in volume hiring sit below 30%. WhatsApp open rates exceed 90%. For roles where you need to reach thousands of applicants and get a response within hours, WhatsApp is the channel candidates already use daily - and the one they trust to respond on.

  • WhatsApp open rates ~90% vs email ~30% in volume hiring
  • One-tap start link - no app install, no signup, no friction
  • Candidates respond on the channel they already use daily
  • Works on every smartphone, including budget devices

How it works

Send the link, the AI takes the rest

You send a WhatsApp invitation - bulk CSV or one-by-one. Candidates tap the link, the AI calls or opens a voice interview in the browser, and a scorecard lands in your queue when the interview ends. No scheduling, no calendars, no slot pressure.

  • Bulk CSV invite - 10,000 candidates in a single send
  • One-by-one invites for high-touch roles
  • AI handles the conversation - no recruiter on the call
  • Scorecard lands in your dashboard within seconds of the interview ending

Same interview. Every channel.

Candidates pick the language, the AI follows

14 languages supported natively. Candidates choose at the start. The AI listens, asks follow-ups, and scores in their language. Your scorecard always lands in English so your hiring team reviews from one consistent format.

  • 14 languages with native voice AI - not machine translation
  • Mid-interview language switch supported for code-switching candidates
  • Scorecards always in English regardless of interview language
  • Optional native-language transcript attached for compliance review

Reach + speed

Top-of-funnel response time in minutes

A WhatsApp invite reaches a candidate in seconds and gets a response often within minutes. Compare to booked phone screens that take days to schedule and burn recruiter calendars. The funnel moves at candidate speed, not at scheduling speed.

  • Median response time under 1 hour from invite
  • 24/7 availability - candidates interview when they are free
  • No calendar tool, no Calendly link, no rescheduling overhead
  • Reminder cadences fire automatically for non-responders

Scorecards

Same paper trail, every interview

Every WhatsApp interview produces the same structured scorecard as web or phone - criterion scores, written reasoning, timestamped evidence, transcript and audio. Your team reviews from one queue regardless of channel.

  • Structured scorecard per criterion with written reasoning
  • Timestamped quotes pulled from the transcript
  • One-click audio playback for any moment
  • Override any score with a logged note

Customer story · Springworks

Springworks moved volume hiring to WhatsApp-delivered AI interviews, dropping time-to-hire by 80%.

Over the years, I've tried several assessment platforms, but most were either too expensive or too static. Their questions stayed the same, and candidates often copied answers. I wanted something more adaptive and real-time. Goodfit offered that flexibility at the right price point, so we decided to try it, and within hours, we saw great results.

FAQ

Questions hiring teams ask about WhatsApp Interview

Do candidates need WhatsApp Business or any special setup?
No. Candidates just need regular WhatsApp installed - which billions of users already have. They tap the link from your invitation and the interview starts. No accounts, no installs, no permissions to grant.
How do you send WhatsApp at volume - is this WhatsApp-compliant?
Yes. Goodfit uses official WhatsApp Business API templates pre-approved by Meta. All invitations are policy-compliant. We handle template approval and delivery infrastructure for you.
What about candidates who do not have a smartphone?
Pair WhatsApp delivery with phone-call delivery. Candidates without WhatsApp get a phone call from the AI at the time they request. Same interview, same scorecard - delivered through the channel that works for them.
Does the interview happen inside WhatsApp itself?
The candidate taps a link in WhatsApp that opens a voice interview - either as a phone call from the AI or as a one-tap browser interview. The AI handles the conversation; the candidate just talks. No need to install anything.
Which markets does WhatsApp delivery work in?
Every market where WhatsApp is widely used - which is most of the world. The 14 supported languages cover the major regional needs. We can extend to additional languages on request.
