Candidate communication software for talent acquisition teams

Every candidate touchpoint, on brand and on time.

Branded candidate comms, referral campaigns and pre-boarding sequences, applied consistently instead of rebuilt for every req. ChangeEngine writes them, sends them by email, SMS and Teams, and shows you which ones moved candidates and referrals, from our app or the AI assistant you already use.

The job, without the team

You sell the company every day, with none of the marketing team.

Recruiting teams compete for talent with job ads, inboxes and a careers page nobody updates. And the hard part was never the platform. Someone still has to write the outreach, make it look like the brand and get it to the right candidates and employees at the right moment. That is the part ChangeEngine automates.

No designer

Recruiting content that looks like marketing made it

One brief becomes a job post graphic, LinkedIn post, referral email and interview guide, in your employer brand.

No spare hours

Candidate sequences run themselves

Outreach, interview confirmations, offer letters and pre-boarding steps send on schedule, from ATS and HRIS events.

No proof it worked

See what drives referrals and accepts

Engagement by campaign, channel and role, with referral participation you can show hiring leaders.

Recruiting stack consolidation

Seven talent tools. One AI platform.

Most talent teams run referrals, employer brand, candidate comms and onboarding out of separate tools, and new hires still go quiet before day one. ChangeEngine replaces the stack with one platform that runs on your HR data. Fewer logins. Fewer contracts. Nothing new for employees to log into.

The programs you own

Every talent program, already set up to run

Each one comes with a playbook: the content, the journey, the channels and the metrics. Start from it or describe your own.

Candidate to new hire

From offer accepted to fully ramped, on autopilot

Journeys start from events in your ATS and HRIS: an offer accepted, a start date, a 30-day check-in. Each step lands on the right channel, including personal email and SMS before day one. Then ChangeEngine shows you who never opened it and automatically chases only those people.

✓Pre-boarding by personal email and SMS, before work accounts exist
✓Branches by role, location, team and manager
✓Hiring manager tasks and nudges built into every journey
✓Start from a template, or describe it and AI drafts the first version

ChangeEngine MCP

The ChangeEngine MCP server plugs into the AI assistant your company already approved. Ask in plain English and it drafts in your brand, builds the audience from HRIS fields, schedules the send and reports back. Your roles and approvals stay in charge.

For IT and security

Why IT says yes in one meeting

There is no new app for employees, no code to maintain and nothing to host. ChangeEngine connects to the systems IT already runs through standard, auditable integrations.

Certified

Certified, not self-attested

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, with documentation ready in the Trust Center.

Identity

SSO on day one

SAML or OAuth single sign-on with optional 2FA. Employees reach the hub with Google or Microsoft sign-in.

Data

Your data stays in your region

Encryption in transit and at rest, with data residency in the US, EU or Canada. Content is generated inside your ChangeEngine environment.

AI governance

No shadow AI

The MCP runs inside the assistant you already approved and acts with the signed-in user's permissions. Nothing sends without an approval.

Integrations

Through the front door

Workday, ADP, BambooHR, UKG and 75+ more, plus Active Directory, Teams, Slack and SharePoint, all through standard APIs.

Control

Roles and approvals

Role-based permissions and approval steps, so comms, legal and leadership sign off before anything goes out.
