Email campaigns vs WhatsApp campaigns
Your candidates' email inboxes are overflowing. Their WhatsApp is personal. That's why it works.
Best part? Recruitly lets you run both from the same platform, to the same lists.
Everything you need to run WhatsApp campaigns
Built for recruitment agencies who want to reach candidates and clients where they actually read messages.
Campaign builder
Name your campaign, write a personalised message, select recipients from your marketing lists, and launch. Or save as a draft for team review before sending.
Smart recipient filtering
Automatically exclude opted-out records and recently contacted recipients. Set your own recency threshold to avoid message fatigue and keep your lists clean.
Schedule & business hours
Send campaigns immediately or schedule for a specific date and time. Business hours enforcement ensures messages only arrive during your defined working window.
Live progress monitoring
Watch your campaign deliver in real time. Track queued, sent, delivered, read, failed, and replied counts as they update second by second.
Multi-device sending
Distribute campaign messages across multiple connected WhatsApp numbers for higher throughput and better number safety. No single number gets overloaded.
Full campaign analytics
Campaign journey visualisation, engagement timeline, and recipient-level detail view with per-message timestamps for sent, delivered, read, and replied.
From zero to first campaign in 5 minutes
If you can use WhatsApp Web, you can run WhatsApp campaigns.

Build your campaign
Name it, write your message, select a marketing list. Preview before sending.

Exclude opted-out contacts and recently messaged recipients automatically.
Send or schedule
Launch immediately or schedule for a specific time. Business hours enforced.
Watch it deliver
Track sent, delivered, read, and replied in real time as your campaign goes out.
How recruitment agencies use WhatsApp campaigns
Real campaigns, real results. Here's what your competitors are already doing.
Contractor check-ins
Quarterly WhatsApp blast to all placed contractors: "How's the role going? Looking for anything new?" — 90% read it, 30% reply.
New job alerts
"5 new Java roles in London this week" — sent to your Java developer list. They see it in seconds, not buried in a promotions tab.
Event invitations
Hosting a networking event or webinar? WhatsApp invites get 4x the response rate of email invitations.
Client BD campaigns
"We placed 12 developers last month — here's our availability for Q2." Personal, direct, impossible to ignore.
Candidate availability checks
Blast your contractor list: "Available from March? Reply YES." Get instant responses instead of chasing emails for a week.
Seasonal hiring pushes
Christmas temp staff, summer interns, back-to-school retail — reach your seasonal candidates where they actually read messages.
Your numbers stay safe
Every campaign runs through 4 layers of protection to keep your WhatsApp numbers safe and your account in good standing.
Number health

Stop sending emails nobody reads
WhatsApp campaigns get 90%+ read rates because they land where your candidates actually look. Recruitly is the only recruiting CRM that gives you both email and WhatsApp campaigns in one platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WhatsApp campaigns in Recruitly.
What are WhatsApp Campaigns?
WhatsApp Campaigns let you send bulk WhatsApp messages to your marketing lists directly from Recruitly. Build a campaign, select recipients, write your message, and send immediately or schedule for later. Track delivery, read receipts, and replies in real time with full analytics.
How is this different from 1-to-1 WhatsApp messaging?
1-to-1 messaging is for individual conversations from a candidate or contact record. Campaigns let you send the same message to hundreds or thousands of recipients from your marketing lists — with filtering, scheduling, and analytics built in.
Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?
No. Recruitly uses your personal WhatsApp number via QR code linking — exactly like WhatsApp Web. No Meta verification, no Facebook Business Manager, no message template approval, no per-message fees, no 24-hour windows. Scan a QR code and you're ready.
How many messages can I send in a campaign?
There's no artificial cap from Recruitly. Campaigns are distributed across your connected WhatsApp numbers with built-in protections — warmup, daily send limits, business hours enforcement — to keep your numbers safe. The more numbers you connect, the higher your throughput.
Will campaigns get my number banned?
No. Recruitly includes built-in anti-spam protections: gradual warmup for new numbers, daily send limits, business-hours-only delivery, natural typing delays between messages, and automatic exclusion of opted-out recipients. Your number behaves like a real person using WhatsApp.
Can I schedule campaigns for later?
Yes. Send immediately or schedule for a specific date and time. Business hours enforcement ensures messages only land during your defined working hours — even for scheduled campaigns.
What analytics do I get?
Full campaign analytics: total recipients, queued, sent, delivered, read, failed, and replied counts. Plus a campaign journey timeline, engagement visualisation, and per-recipient detail view with individual message timestamps.
Can I use multiple WhatsApp numbers for campaigns?
Yes. Multi-device sending distributes your campaign across multiple connected WhatsApp numbers. This increases throughput and protects individual numbers from hitting send limits.
Is WhatsApp Campaigns included in my plan?
Yes — WhatsApp Campaigns is included on every Recruitly plan, including the free plan. No per-message fees, no add-on charges.
Can I combine WhatsApp campaigns with email campaigns?
Absolutely. Recruitly is the only recruiting CRM where you can run email drip campaigns and WhatsApp campaigns from the same platform, targeting the same marketing lists, with unified analytics across both channels.
