Sending Whatsapp and Email Reminders to Assessment Candidates

Problem Statement: Based on our analysis, on an average only 60% of the intended audience actually goes on to attempt the assessments. The reason for non-attempt can be as follows:

• The invited candidate may not be interested/available for the assessment.
• The invited candidate missed the initial communication.
• The invited candidate forgot about the invite due to time lag between the invite time and the assessment start time.

Solution Implemented: The reminder system module we are introducing would allow you to send upto 2 Email communications and 1 Whatsapp communications free of cost. By reaching out on both these mediums would positively impact the attempt ratio leading to an increase in the validated pool of candidates.
