Why applications get declined and how to reapply

What to do if your agency application was declined, and how to put the strongest possible application forward.

Written by RecruitiFi

Not every agency application is approved. If yours was declined, or you are applying and want to avoid common pitfalls, here is how decisions work and what your options are.

How decisions are made:

  • Thorough review: Every marketplace application is vetted by RecruitiFi's supplier quality team before a decision is made.

  • Reasons are not published: RecruitiFi does not publicly state its reasons for declining applicants, and individual decline decisions are not itemized. Rather than trying to reverse-engineer a decision, focus on submitting the strongest possible application.

How to put your best application forward:

  • Complete every field: Applications with missing company information, an unreachable website, or empty specialty selections are harder to approve.

  • Write a specific recruiting summary: Name the roles, industries, and locations you actually place, with concrete experience. Generic summaries help neither review nor matching.

  • Use a company email address: Apply with an address at your agency's domain rather than a personal one.
