Request for Assistance – 10DLC SMS Setup for Recruitment Agency
Hello everyone! I recently started my own firm and I’m having some difficulties setting up my phone system. I’m currently using Zoom Phone as my carrier, but I’ve encountered some restrictions related to 10DLC SMS campaigns through TRC.
It seems that recruiting and staffing agencies face limitations in this area. However, I recall my previous company successfully running an SMS campaign as a recruitment agency. If anyone has tips on how to navigate these restrictions or recommendations for effective campaign tools, I would greatly appreciate your insights! Thank you!

It’s great to hear you’ve launched your own firm! Navigating the 10DLC requirements for SMS campaigns can be tricky, especially for recruiting agencies. Here are a few suggestions that might help you manage this challenge:
Partner with a Dedicated SMS Provider: Consider using an SMS provider that specializes in recruitment and is already compliant with 10DLC regulations. Companies like Twilio, EZ Texting, or TextMagic often have experience with recruiting agencies and can provide guidance on setting up your campaign effectively.
Utilize a Different Business Model: If you’re having trouble with 10DLC for recruitment purposes, you could explore other messaging strategies, such as using SMS for appointment reminders or general client communication, which may have fewer restrictions.
Check for Alternative Campaign Types: Some providers offer alternatives or different types of messaging campaigns that might be suitable for your needs. Make sure to review what each provider offers and how they align with your business model.
Consult Legal Advisors: If possible, consult with a legal advisor who specializes in telecom regulations. They can provide insights on compliance and ways to navigate the restrictions legally.
Build a Strong Opt-In List: Ensure that your potential candidates willingly opt-in to receive SMS communications. This not only helps in compliance but also improves engagement rates.
Leverage Other Recruitment Tools: While working through SMS challenges, you can also consider other recruitment tools like email campaigns, social media outreach, or even automated chatbots on your website.
Remember that adhering to regulations is essential to avoid penalties and ensure a positive experience for your candidates. Good luck with your recruiting efforts!
