Why WhatsApp Personal?
10-second integration
Use any WhatsApp number. Scan a QR code and you're live — no API keys, no Meta approval, no waiting.
Auto-detect WhatsApp numbers
For every contact in your CRM — existing and new — we show whether their number is on WhatsApp. No more guessing.
Fully compliant & protected
Built-in warmup, send limits, and natural typing delays that comply with WhatsApp's anti-spam policies. Your number stays safe.
Skip the WhatsApp Business API nightmare
The Business API was built for e-commerce brands, not recruiters having real conversations. We took a completely different approach.
What changes when your agency adds WhatsApp
Candidates reply to WhatsApp in minutes. Emails sit in inboxes for days.
“Send interview details to a candidate — confirmed in 2 minutes, not 2 days”
Candidate engagement“Message a hiring manager before the meeting — ‘shortlist attached, see you at 2pm’”
Client relationships“Follow up on an offer with the candidate — ‘yes’ before end of day”
Faster placements“BD message to a warm lead — ‘saw you’re hiring PMs, can we help?’”
Business development“Check in with a placed contractor after week one — builds the relationship for re-bookings”
Aftercare & retention“Send a client their invoice summary with a personal note — gets paid faster”
CommercialEverything your agency needs to message from Recruitly
Send, receive, and log — all without leaving your CRM.
Send any message type
Text, images, documents, videos, voice notes. Send CVs to clients, job specs to candidates, contracts to hiring managers.
Automatic activity logging
Every message in and out is logged on the matching candidate, contact, or company record. Zero manual data entry.
Team access control
Share numbers across your desk. Billers, resourcers, and managers see the conversations that matter to them.
Multiple numbers
Different desks, different numbers. Perm team, contract team, BD — each with their own WhatsApp line.
Full chat history in CRM
Scroll back through every conversation on any record. No ‘check my phone’ moments.
Inbound messages
When anyone replies — candidate, client, whoever — it lands in Recruitly. No app-switching.
Files & media
Send CVs, job specs, rate cards, contracts. Receive signed docs back. All stored on the record.

We keep your number safe so WhatsApp never bans it
WhatsApp bans numbers that spam. We make sure yours never looks like one.
Gradual warmup
New numbers start with a lower daily limit that increases over time. Mirrors how a real person ramps up usage.
Daily send limits
Sensible caps prevent anyone on the team from accidentally blasting too many messages. Configurable per number.
Business hours only
Messages send during your agency’s working hours. Anything queued outside hours is held until morning.
Natural send behaviour
Realistic typing pauses between messages. Your account looks human to WhatsApp because it behaves like one.
These aren't restrictions — they're why your number stays safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We have got answers.
Is WhatsApp included on my plan?
Yes, every Recruitly plan includes WhatsApp. No per-message fees, no add-on charges, no usage limits beyond the safety caps that protect your number.
How is this different from WhatsApp Business API?
Completely different. The Business API requires Meta verification, a Facebook Business Manager account, pre-approved message templates, pays per conversation, and takes weeks to set up. This uses your personal WhatsApp number via QR linking — exactly like WhatsApp Web. You scan a code and you’re messaging. No approval process, no templates, no per-message fees, no 24-hour windows. Ten seconds from start to first message.
Will this get my number banned?
No. Recruitly includes built-in warmup, daily send limits, business-hours scheduling, and natural typing delays. Your account looks like a normal person using WhatsApp — because it behaves like one.
Can my team see my personal chats?
No. Recruitly only sees messages sent and received through the integration. Your personal WhatsApp conversations stay completely private.
Can multiple consultants share one number?
Yes. Set permissions per user — full send access or read-only. Great for desk coverage when someone is on leave or in meetings.
What if my phone goes offline?
Messages queue and send automatically when your phone reconnects. Works just like WhatsApp Web.
