Text Message Program

Melben runs a text message program for the tradespeople we place and for the employers we place them with. This page says exactly how it works.

If you are a tradesperson, we text you about roles that match your trade and your area, scheduling an interview, and the next steps on a placement.

If you are an employer, we text you about candidates we are submitting, interview scheduling, and updates on an open search.

That is the whole program. We do not send ads, promotions, or marketing of any kind.

You join by checking the text message box on one of our forms:

• Tradespeople: the application form, or the apply form on any open role.
• Employers: the request workers form.

You can also tell a recruiter on a call that texts are fine.

The box is never checked for you. Consent is not a condition of applying, of being submitted for a role, of being placed, or of requesting workers. Leave it unchecked and everything else works exactly the same.

Message frequency varies with what is happening on your search. Some months there is nothing to say. During an active placement there may be a few in a week. Typically no more than 10 messages per month.

Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP to cancel, reply HELP for help. You can also just tell a recruiter on a call. We only text between 8am and 9pm in your local time.

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Melben does not sell or share your mobile number or your text message consent with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not share, sell, or rent them to affiliates or data brokers either.

The only companies that touch your number for texting are the providers who deliver the message on our behalf, and they may use it only to deliver it.
