Recruiter text pack: 11 messages for candidates, interviews and offers
Candidates are people, and they want clear messages that arrive on time. This pack has 11 messages for the moments recruiters repeat all day: the first outreach, interview invites and reminders, a kind rejection, an offer call and a welcome aboard. Add the pack in one tap and send from any app.
Works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, Messenger and every other app.
Who this pack is for
The pack is for recruiters, hiring managers and founders who contact candidates by text or chat.
It fits these moments:
- A recruiter reaching out to a profile for the first time.
- A hiring manager sharing details of a role.
- A coordinator confirming and reminding about interviews.
- A recruiter who needs to send a respectful rejection.
- A team asking for references or welcoming a new hire.
What is inside
The pack has 11 messages in 3 folders. Candidates has 3 messages, Interviews has 4 and Decisions has 4. Each message has a name blank filled in on send.
Words in {{double braces}} are blanks. In the textcuts keyboard you fill them with one tap, and the names you used recently come back.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add this pack to my phone?
Tap the button on this page on your iPhone or Android phone. textcuts opens and the 11 messages land in their folders, ready to use. Nothing to copy and paste one by one.
Does it work on the free plan?
Yes. The whole pack imports, and every one of the 11 messages uses a single blank, so each one fills in on the free plan. The free plan limits how many textcuts you add yourself later; Pro lifts that and allows several blanks in one message.
Can I use these messages in WhatsApp, iMessage and other apps?
Yes. textcuts is a keyboard, so the messages work in every app where you type. Browse more on the templates page.
Can I edit the messages?
Yes. Every message is a normal textcut after you import it. Change the wording, rename a folder, delete what you do not need, or add your own.
Is the rejection message harsh?
No. It is written to be clear and kind, thanking the candidate and closing the conversation. You can edit the wording to match your own tone.
