How it works

One channel. Two delivery paths. Zero manual work.

You keep messaging exactly the way you do today. ATS Mako picks the best delivery path for every candidate, automatically.

01
Same workflow

Message candidates the way you already do

Send from the same conversational inbox, templates, and status-triggered automations you use for SMS today. Nothing new to learn.

02
On iPhone

Delivered natively as iMessage

The message lands as a real iMessage — blue bubble, read receipts, typing indicators — the channel candidates actually watch and reply to.

03
No iPhone

Falls back to SMS, automatically

If a candidate is not on iMessage, ATS Mako instantly routes the same message as a standard text. Zero configuration, zero dropped conversations.

The case for texting

Email gets ignored. Texts get answered.

Candidates live in their messages, not their inbox. iMessage and SMS beat email on every metric that moves a pipeline — reach, replies, and speed to the interview.

Figures reflect aggregated SMS-vs-email marketing industry benchmarks. Individual results vary by audience, list quality, and use case.

iMessage delivery FAQ

Everything you need to know.

What is iMessage delivery for recruiting?

It lets ATS Mako send your recruiting texts as native iMessages to candidates on iPhone — blue bubbles, read receipts, the experience they already trust — and automatically fall back to standard SMS for everyone else, from the same inbox you use today.

How many iMessage conversations can I start per day?

You can initiate up to 50 new iMessage conversations per day, on top of your existing SMS and email outreach.

What happens if a candidate doesn't have an iPhone?

Nothing is lost. If a candidate is not on iMessage, ATS Mako automatically routes the exact same message as a standard SMS text — no manual toggling and no separate workflow.

Do I have to change how I text candidates?

No. iMessage delivery uses the same centralized conversational inbox, templates, and automations you already run in ATS Mako. Your team keeps working exactly as they do now.

Is iMessage delivery compliant?

Yes. Outreach stays consent-based and TCPA-friendly, with visible opt-out (Reply STOP) and quiet-hours handling — the same compliance guardrails that already govern SMS on ATS Mako.

When will iMessage delivery be available?

It's coming soon. Join the early-access list and we'll email you the moment it goes live, with first access to upgrade your plan.
