Hiring platforms
Add chat between users to your jobs or freelancer platform
Build chat into your platform in a few hours with our chat API and pre-built UI. With TalkJS, you can create a first-class hiring experience by helping recruiters and jobseekers, as well as companies and freelancers, get in touch via chat.
Connect companies and freelancers to build trust across your platform
Both freelancers and companies expect a messaging feature on a freelancing platform. Not only does it make the user experience better as users don‘t need to switch the conversation elsewhere, but it also builds trust. Users on both sides can access message history and proof if one party doesn‘t respect the contract.

When a recruiter on your team is available, conversations with jobseekers can take place immediately. Recruiters can get to know the candidate before jumping on a video call, and candidates can inquire about the position by simply sending a message on the website chat.
Conversations shift to email when a recruiter or a candidate is not available, giving everyone the ability to send and receive messages even when offline.

Customize everything and anything
TalkJS provides prebuilt themes you can use right away or customize to match your brand’s design and user experience.
Themes give you complete control over how your chat looks and feels—from overall layout and message styling to fonts, colors, and interactive elements. You can fine-tune every visual detail, extend functionality, or design a fully bespoke chat interface.
Whether you start from a default theme or build your own, TalkJS provides a flexible foundation to create a consistent and responsive chat experience within your product.
