Schedule candidate interviews via WhatsApp — without the back-and-forth emails

WhatsPortal automates interview scheduling on WhatsApp — sending slot options, collecting confirmation, sending reminders, and notifying interviewers — so your recruitment team fills interview slots faster and candidates show up prepared.

Interview scheduling takes 4 emails and 3 days. Your best candidate accepts another offer in that time.

01

A recruiter shortlists a candidate. An email is sent with available slots. The candidate replies a day later. The slot is now gone. A new email goes out. Three days and six emails later, the interview is scheduled. The candidate's experience is already poor before they've met the team.

02

Interview no-shows are a persistent problem. A confirmation email sent 5 days ago is insufficient as a reminder. A WhatsApp reminder — day before and 2 hours before — reduces no-shows without requiring any recruiter action.

03

For high-volume hiring — 50+ interviews a month — manual interview scheduling is a significant operational overhead. Each scheduling cycle takes 10–15 minutes of recruiter time. At scale, that's hours every week on logistics, not hiring.

The solution

WhatsPortal automates interview scheduling on WhatsApp — from slot offer to confirmation to reminder.

How it works

Streamlined automation in four simple steps.

  1. 01

    Recruiter triggers scheduling from the ATS or manually

    When a candidate is shortlisted, the recruiter sends a scheduling request from WhatsPortal with available slots.

  2. 02

    Candidate selects a slot on WhatsApp

    The candidate taps to select their preferred time. WhatsPortal confirms the booking and notifies the interviewer.

  3. 03

    Reminders fire automatically

    Both parties receive reminders. The interview happens. No-show rates drop. Recruiter spends zero time on logistics.

  4. 04

    Sync ATS database

    Candidate screening info, interview schedules, and payslip confirmations are synced with your ATS or HRMS platform.
