Talent · Messaging
Your agent, in your messages
Use iMessage or WhatsApp to ask questions, update your preferences, and respond to opportunities without watching another inbox.
Choose the channel that works for you
Standout can open a conversation in iMessage on supported Apple devices or in WhatsApp. The product may suggest a channel based on your device, and you can choose the other option when it is more convenient.
- iMessage: opens the Messages app with a starter message ready to send.
- WhatsApp: opens the chat directly on mobile; desktop may show a QR code so you can continue on your phone.
What you can do in the conversation
- Tell your agent what you want from your next role.
- Ask about a company or opportunity you received.
- Say whether you are interested, unsure, or want to pass.
- Correct outdated profile or availability information.
- Ask what the next step is.
You do not need special commands. Write naturally and give the same context you would give a human talent agent.
Keep personal information safe
Share enough career context to help your agent represent you, but leave out confidential information belonging to a current or former employer.
Learn more in the sharing context guide.
If messaging does not open
- Try the alternate channel shown in Standout.
- On desktop, scan the QR code with your phone.
- Confirm that the relevant messaging app is installed.
- If your phone number changed, update your account or contact [email protected].
