How agency lists work

Agency lists let you group agencies together for easier management. You can use lists to organise agencies by tier, department, or any other category that works for your team, for example, "Tier 1", "Tier 2", or "Agencies for Finance Vacancies".

The invitation flow works the same way as inviting a single agency, with one difference: you select Agency List instead of Single Agency. You can invite agencies manually by email, or upload a CSV file (for example, exported from another system) to invite multiple contacts at once.

Inviting agencies via a list

  1. Go to Agency Management in SmartRecruiters.

  2. Click Add Agency (top right).

  3. In the dialog, select Agency List (instead of Single Agency).

  4. Enter a name. This name is only visible to you for internal organisation.

  5. Add agency contacts by entering their email addresses and names, or upload a CSV file by dragging it into the upload area or clicking to browse.

  6. Complete the remaining steps as you would for a single agency invitation.

Tip: Each invited contact will be able to add their own colleagues later. All members of the list will have access to the jobs you assign to them.

Creating a list from existing agencies

You can also create and manage lists after agencies have already been added.

  1. Go to Agency Management.

  2. Select the agencies you want to group by ticking their checkboxes.

  3. Click the + icon next to Agency Lists in the left panel.

  4. Enter a name for the list (e.g. "Tier 1", "Tier 2", "Finance Agencies") and confirm.

The selected agencies will be added to the new list immediately.
