You can easily allow visitors to contact your team via WhatsApp by embedding a Click to Chat button on your website. This method works across devices and doesn’t require any special integrations.
Step 1: Get Your WhatsApp Business Number
Make sure you have a WhatsApp Business number connected to your brand in HireData. This is the number your website visitors will message.
Example format:
31612345678
(No +, no spaces, no dashes)
Step 2: Generate Your WhatsApp Link
Use this format:
<https://wa.me/><number>?text=<url-encoded-message>
Replace:
<number> with your full phone number (international format)
<url-encoded-message> with a pre-filled message
Example:
<https://wa.me/31612345678?text=Hi%20there%2C%20I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20vacancies>!
💡 Tip: You can create different messages for different pages (e.g. job detail pages, services, or FAQs).
Step 3: Add the Button to Your Website
You can embed the link as a text link, image button, or styled button. Here’s a simple example using text:
<a href="<https://wa.me/31612345678?text=Hi%20there%2C%20I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20vacancies!"> target="_blank"> Chat with us on WhatsApp </a>
Or use an image:
<a href="<https://wa.me/31612345678?text=Hi%20there%2C%20I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20vacancies!"> target="_blank"> <img src="<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/WhatsApp.svg>" alt="WhatsApp" width="40"> </a>
You can also style this as a floating button using custom CSS if you have access to your site’s theme.
💡 Tips for Customisation
Add different links per page with tailored messages (e.g., “I’m interested in Job ID 5421”)
Track traffic by adding UTM parameters (e.g. ?utm_source=website)
Position the button for visibility (e.g., bottom-right corner, fixed position)
