What aspects convinced drivetech about Superchat?

Recruiter Dustin Mischak took advantage of Superchat's 14-day free trial to see for himself.

In the spring of 2023, he was looking for the right software to organize drivetech's various messenger services. Several suppliers presented him with solutions. However, none of them were able to bring together all the relevant social media channels on a single messaging platform.

With Superchat, Dustin Mischak was able to consolidate messages from all the communication channels he uses into one inbox for the first time. He uses WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and Google Messenger for drivetech's modern recruitment process.

He was also impressed with the WhatsApp templates during the test phase. They make communication with his candidates particularly quick and easy. The GDPR-compliant use of WhatsApp Business was also a decisive factor.

All these reasons convinced Dustin Mischak to launch Superchat in the spring of 2023. Since then, the two companies have grown together. The recruiter is excited about the new features and is currently testing automation with WhatsApp chatbots.
