TextUs
TextUs is a Denver-based business texting platform that gives revenue and recruiting teams real, two-way SMS conversations at scale. It pairs each team with dedicated business phone numbers, a shared inbox, automated campaigns, keywords, and analytics, and plugs directly into CRMs and applicant tracking systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, Bullhorn, Greenhouse and Workday. The pitch is simple: text messages get read and answered while email and voicemail get ignored, so teams that text close, hire, and retain faster.
