Short YouTube video (by Chris Collins) advising recruiters/dealers to respond to job applications within 24 hours. Recommends sending a quick text message as the most effective first contact because texts are read much faster (about 90 seconds) than emails (about 90 minutes), helping recruiters engage and win talent.
What we're seeing the most successful dealers do is their response time to applications that come in is 24 hours. That is the gold standard for if you want to compete to win the talent you want 24 hours, whether that be a. And the best way to really do that is just shoot a text message out, you know, because, I mean, if I look at my personal email right now, I mean, my work inbox is inbox zero every day. But if I look at my personal email, there's like 22,000 unread emails in there, you know, so if we're trying to cut through the noise and really acquire the best talent that's out there, I mean, it takes 90 seconds for someone to look and read a text message versus the average response time of an email, 90 minutes. So just sending that quick text out within that first 24 hours is crucial to begin the conversation and get to them faster.
