WhatsApp is no longer just a messaging app — it’s now part of the UK recruitment process. At Job Sculpt Harbor, most candidates receive their first role updates directly through WhatsApp.
3 Key Moments for WhatsApp Communication
1. First message to an employer
✅ Be polite and clear. State your interest in the role and where you saw it (e.g. “I applied via Job Sculpt Harbor”).
2. Asking about details
✅ Clarify pay, hours, or responsibilities early. This avoids misunderstandings.
3. Responding to updates
✅ Reply promptly and professionally. A simple “Thank you for the update — I’m available at these times” goes a long way.
❌ Common mistakes to avoid
❌ One-word replies like “OK”
❌ Overusing slang or emojis
❌ Ignoring messages after reading them
