We’ll give this objection some credence – there are indeed some lower-quality candidates out there. As our platform grows, the audience expands, and inevitably, a few unsuitable applicants slip through.
For example, we received this feedback from a new client after they used our service for a week or two: “I’m disappointed in the quality of the applicants. We’ve had seven apply, and only three were relevant and professional agents. The other four weren’t suitable at all.”
In cases like this, we encourage clients to focus on the qualified, promising candidates rather than judge us too harshly on the irrelevant ones. It’s a balancing act – while we aim to reach a large audience, we’re constantly working to maintain a high-quality user base. Here’s how we manage this balance:
- Blacklist: We monitor and blacklist candidates who use the “copy & paste” method of applying across multiple opportunities without genuine interest.
- Follow-Up Questions: We prompt applicants with specific questions, confirming details like UK residency, sales experience, and relevant industry contacts in your target market.
- One-Click Rejection: For applications that don’t meet your needs, you can use the “one-click rejection” feature, and we’ll handle the rejection for you. This way, you can quickly filter out unsuitable candidates and focus on professionals who can bring in new business.
While we can’t guarantee every candidate will be a perfect match, we work hard to minimise irrelevant applications and make it easy for you to zero in on the right fit. If a candidate who doesn’t match your needs applies, simply use the “one-click rejection” tool, and keep your focus on strong, promising candidates who can drive results for you.
