# An Applicant Credit Policy Should Protect Both Sides.

Define what counts, what does not count, how duplicates are handled, and how a credit request works before the campaign begins.

## Core Rule

A candidate can be Campaign-Qualified even if the employer decides not to interview or hire them. CQA status is based on the objective campaign requirements; hiring judgment is separate.

## Possible Credit Situations

- Invalid or fraudulent submission
- Duplicate inside the agreed lookback period
- Applicant outside approved geography
- Missing an objective required qualification
- Unreachable under an agreed contact rule
- Incomplete required application information

## Credit Request Process

1. Review delivered applicants promptly.
2. Identify the written rule involved.
3. Provide the required evidence.
4. Apply the remedy stated in the campaign agreement.

## Credit Policy FAQ

### What is an applicant credit?

An applicant credit is the campaign remedy specified in the written terms when a delivered applicant qualifies for credit under the agreed rules. The exact remedy, timing, and documentation requirements are defined before launch.

### What types of applicants may qualify for credit?

Depending on the written campaign terms, examples can include invalid or fraudulent submissions, duplicates within the agreed lookback period, invalid contact information, applicants outside the approved geography, or applicants missing an objective required qualification.

### Does every rejected candidate qualify for a credit?

No. An employer deciding not to interview or hire an applicant does not by itself mean the applicant is nonconforming. Credits are based on the written campaign definition and objective credit rules.

### How are duplicate applicants handled?

The campaign agreement should define the duplicate lookback period and the data used to identify a duplicate. A submission inside that agreed window may qualify for credit when the rule is met.

### What if an applicant does not respond to us?

Unreachable-applicant rules, if included, should define the required contact information, employer follow-up steps, contact window, and documentation needed for a credit request.

### How quickly must a credit request be submitted?

The specific dispute or credit-request window is established in the campaign agreement. Employers should review applicants promptly and submit documentation within the agreed period.

### Can the credit policy change after the campaign starts?

Changes should be made only through a written amendment or other agreed written update. The campaign should not use new qualification rules retroactively.

### Does a credit guarantee a replacement applicant?

Not automatically. The remedy may be a credit, replacement, adjustment, or another action specified in the written campaign terms.
