Motivation
To enable your candidates to apply via WhatsApp on your carrerssite, a WhatsApp button must be added to it. This button is provided by FunnelBridge and can be configured via the FunnelBridge Assistant.
Goal of this guide
A WhatsApp button is added to your Recruitee careers page, allowing applicants to apply via WhatsApp. Two different buttons are offered. We recommend that you use both buttons:
A button on the homepage that invites the applicant to a job-independent WhatsApp conversation
A button on the job page that invites the applicant to a job-specific WhatsApp conversation
Requirements
You have access to your Recruitee career site
You have successfully connected Recruitee and FunnelBridge
1. Navigate to your FunnelBridge account
Navigate to https://app.funnelbridge.ruhrsolutions.com/ and log in with the email address for which your FunnelBridge account has been activated.
2. Open the settings section and click ‘Apply with WhatsApp Button’
3. Configure the color of the button and copy the button code
In the first section, you have the option of configuring the color of the button. Two results are displayed in the lower section:
2: The URL for a job-independent WhatsApp conversation is displayed. Copy this URL and save it for later (optional).
3: You will see the entire code for the WhatsApp integration in Recruitee. You will need this code to configure the button for the job-specific WhatsApp conversation. Copy this code as well and save it for later.
4. Add the job-independent WhatsApp button to your career page
Edit the home page of your Recruitee career site and add a new button for the WhatsApp application in the desired location. Use the URL you copied for the job-independent WhatsApp conversation in step 3 of the previous section as the link for the button.
5. Add FunnelBridge as a new custom integration
Navigate to settings > integrations > Add custom integration.
5. Insert the code for the integration
Paste the code for the integration that you copied in step 3 of the previous section. Click on Integrate. Now the "Apply with WhatsApp"-Button will appear in every job details page.
Summary
Congratulations🥳! You have added two WhatsApp buttons to your careers page. Applicants now have the opportunity to
go directly to your WhatsApp bot on the homepage and start a job-independent application
go to your WhatsApp bot on the job page and start a job-specific application
