How Do I Reject Agency Ownership of a Candidate?

RecruitiFi automatically checks whether a candidate is eligible for agency ownership, but in certain cases, you may need to manually reject ownership.

Criteria for Rejecting Agency Ownership

You may reject agency ownership only if you have had direct communication from the candidate within the past 180 days before they were presented in RecruitiFi.

Eligible forms of communication include:

  • Email from the candidate

  • Message through another system

  • Application submission to your company

Note:

  • If you contacted the candidate but never received a response, this does not qualify for ownership rejection.

  • Simply having the candidate in your ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is not a valid reason to reject ownership.

Steps to Reject Agency Ownership

  1. When rejecting the candidate’s application, check the box labeled “Reject agency ownership eligibility.”

  2. If this box is not checked and the candidate is hired, you may be responsible for paying an agency fee.
