How is Candidate Ownership Managed?

Candidate ownership on RecruitiFi is managed based on a 180-day window. Here's how it works:

Ownership Criteria:

  • 180-Day Window: If you’ve had documented two-way communication (e.g., emails, messages, or applications) with a candidate in the last 180 days before their submission, you may reject ownership of the candidate for that reason.

  • No Communication: If you have not had such communication with the candidate, RecruitiFi will own the candidate for 180 days after the submission is confirmed.

Mistaken Hires:

  • If you hire a candidate who you already own, you can report it as a guarantee failure.

    • This allows you to mark the mistake and request a refund, if applicable. You can learn more about marking guarantee failures in your system to resolve this issue.

This system ensures that ownership disputes are minimized and provides a clear timeframe for ownership rights.
