Talent500 helps global companies hire, manage, and retain top remote tech talent. With operations spanning across countries, building strong, timely, and personal relationships with candidates and clients is critical to their success.

But as their user base grew, maintaining consistent communication across channels became increasingly difficult—and less personal.

The Challenge: Building personal connections in a scalable way

Talent500 was growing fast. With thousands of candidates exploring job roles and recruiters engaging with them across platforms, traditional channels like email and app push notifications were no longer enough.

They needed a way to connect with users where they felt most comfortable—on a platform they actually check and respond to.

“It has helped create a more direct relationship with customers, allowing us to assist and inform them in a setting they are comfortable with.”
Darren Pinto, Talent500

The Solution: Conversational hiring touchpoints on WhatsApp

With BotSpace, Talent500 introduced WhatsApp as a key engagement channel—using it to send timely job alerts, guide candidates through the hiring journey, and respond to queries in real-time.

Candidates could now ask questions, get updates, and interact with recruiters directly on WhatsApp, leading to better engagement and faster resolutions. The conversations felt more natural, and BotSpace's automation helped manage scale without losing personalization.

Results: Higher engagement, better relationships, and faster responses

By integrating BotSpace, Talent500 achieved:

  • 2× increase in engagement, as users interacted more through WhatsApp than email/app
  • 40% higher response rates on key job alerts and candidate messages
  • Streamlined support through automation and instant replies
  • More trust and comfort, especially in regions where WhatsApp is preferred over email

“BotSpace has helped us connect with users in a more human and timely way. It’s now a key part of how we communicate.”
