Term

Candidate ownership is 180 days for each JobCast. 

What happens if two agencies submit the same candidate to the same JobCast?

The RecruitiFi system is programmed to check each candidate's name and email and reject duplicate submissions for a JobCast.

However, on rare occasion, the same candidate will be submitted with a slight variation on their name and a different email.

In this case, ownership is awarded to the agency that got the candidate to confirm their submission first, not the agency that input the candidate's information first.

What happens if a candidate is hired for a different role within my organization?

The candidate is considered owned by RecruitiFi and a fee is owed.

What happens if multiple agencies submit the same candidate?

There are two possible scenarios for which agency will be awarded the placement fee:

  1. Two agencies submitted the candidate to separate JobCasts on RecruitiFi.  The agency who submitted the candidate to the role for which they were ultimately hired will receive the placement fee.

  2. Two agencies submitted the candidate to separate JobCasts, but the candidate is hired for a role that's different than either JobCast on RecruitiFi.  The agency who first got the Candidate to confirm their submission first will be awarded the placement fee.

Employer Rejection

Employers may reject ownership of a candidate if they've been in active discussions with the candidate during the past 180 days.

This does not include one-way communication. This means that the Employer must show proof that the Candidate has responded to their outreach and shown active interest.
