Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for a job on WhatsApp?+
Save Talentta's WhatsApp number, send the word "Apply", and pick a role from the list you get back. A short form opens inside WhatsApp, and submitting it sends your Talentta profile and CV to the employer. You do not need to download an app.
Can I post a job on WhatsApp?+
Yes. Employers with a Talentta recruiter account can send "Post job" on WhatsApp, choose the company, and fill in the role details in a guided form. The job is saved as a draft on Talentta, where you complete setup and payment before it goes live.
Do I need a Talentta account first?+
No. You can sign up with just your phone number. Talentta sends a six-digit code over WhatsApp or SMS, and once you confirm it and add your name, your account is created.
Does applying on WhatsApp use a lot of data?+
Very little. The whole flow is text and a short form inside WhatsApp, so it works on a slow connection and costs a fraction of the data a job board website uses.
Is Talentta on WhatsApp free?+
Applying for jobs on WhatsApp is free for candidates. Employers pay to publish a job, the same as on the Talentta website.
Which countries can use Talentta on WhatsApp?+
Talentta on WhatsApp works anywhere WhatsApp does. It is built for the Nigerian job market first, and supports international dialling codes, so candidates across Africa and the diaspora can use it.
