If you rely on only one source for your hiring, you may miss out on your next best hire. CareerPlug gives you the tools you need to diversify your applicant sources and find great hires within your community, no matter where you're located. Two of the best tools for sharing your career page widely to reach more job seekers are already at your disposal: QR codes and Text-to-Apply. ##### In this article: - [How do QR codes and Text-to-Apply work?](https://support.careerplug.com/sharing-jobs-via-qr-codes-and-text-to-apply#how-do-qr-codes-and-TTA-work) - [What are the benefits of sharing jobs via QR codes and Text-to-Apply?](https://support.careerplug.com/sharing-jobs-via-qr-codes-and-text-to-apply#what-are-the-benefits-of-qr-codes-and-TTA) - [How do I share a job via QR code?](https://support.careerplug.com/sharing-jobs-via-qr-codes-and-text-to-apply#share-job-via-QR-code) - [How do I share a job via Text-to-Apply?](https://support.careerplug.com/sharing-jobs-via-qr-codes-and-text-to-apply#share-job-via-TTA) - [Where do I share my QR code and Text-to-Apply information?](https://support.careerplug.com/sharing-jobs-via-qr-codes-and-text-to-apply#where-to-share) ### How do QR codes and Text-to-Apply work? Job seekers who scan a QR code you've generated from CareerPlug will be redirected to your careers page. Job seekers who text your unique Text-to-Apply code to the designated number will receive a reply with a link to your careers page. Your [careers page](https://support.careerplug.com/configuring-your-careers-page?hsLang=en) gives you an opportunity to showcase your brand, culture, benefits, and more. It's like your own personal job board! On your careers page, candidates can search for jobs using the available fields, or click the **Show Me All Jobs** link (under the **Find Jobs** button) to see all of your open positions. ### What are the benefits of sharing jobs via QR codes and Text-to-Apply? The internal statistics from CareerPlug accounts using QR codes and Text-to-Apply paint a clear picture: **these tools result in higher-quality applicants and more hires.** - Mobile users are 7x more likely to complete an application vs. desktop users. - Over 56% of applicants who found and applied to an open position via Text-to-Apply had an interview scheduled vs. 16.7% of applicants from other sources. - 10.7% of Text-to-Apply candidates are hired vs. 0.82% of applicants from other sources. Because they're linked to your careers page instead of a specific job, QR codes and Text-to-Apply are evergreen recruiting tools. Even if you’re not actively hiring, you can [post future openings as passive jobs to build your pipeline](https://support.careerplug.com/passive-jobs-and-building-a-hiring-pipeline?hsLang=en) and ease the burden the next time you need to grow your team. Think of QR codes and Text-to-Apply as a natural extension of your hiring efforts, as well as a way to engage your community and build brand awareness. ### How do I share a job via QR code? 1\.
