Stop Using Google Forms for Hiring on WhatsApp (Do This Instead)

Stop Using Google Forms for Hiring on WhatsApp (Do This Instead)

If you're still pasting a lonely Google Form link into your WhatsApp status or Instagram bio to hire for your next role, you are leaving talent on the table.

The Problem with "Just a Link"

We've all seen it. A generic link that looks like forms.gle/xyz.

  1. It looks suspicious: In the age of phishing, people are hesitant to click weird links.
  2. Zero Visual Appeal: It doesn't show your brand, the salary, or the role.
  3. Boring Experience: Filling out a standard form feels like a tax audit, not a career opportunity.

Enter Visual Hiring

The best candidates—the creative designers, the sharp marketers—care about presentation. They want to work for a brand that looks good.

Why GigDrop is the Best Google Form Alternative

Unlike a standard form builder, GigDrop is built specifically for social media recruitment.

1. Instant Visual Cards

You don't just get a link; you get an image. When you share a GigDrop link on WhatsApp, iMessage, or Slack, it unfurls into a beautiful card showing the Role, Salary, and Key Details.

2. Mobile-First Application

Our application flow is designed for thumbs, not mouses. It's quick, responsive, and feels like a modern app.

3. Manage Candidates Like a Pro

Google Sheets is great for data, but bad for workflow. GigDrop gives you a dedicated dashboard to:

  • Shortlist candidates with one click.
  • WhatsApp them directly without saving their number.
  • Reject politely with automated templates.

Conclusion

Your hiring process is the first impression a candidate has of your company. Don't let a boring form set the tone.
