Set reapplication limits

Limit how often people can reapply to your company in Workstream.

With Workstream, you can limit how soon applicants can apply again after a previous application.

  • Set how many days applicants have to wait before they can apply again.

  • Apply the limit to a specific job, or to all jobs for rejected applicants.

  • Personalize the message applicants see if they try to apply too soon.

📌 You need the Edit evaluation plan permission to manage reapplication limits.

Reapplication limits

Set up your reapplication limits in the Reapplications page in Admin View.


Set reapplication limits

  1. In Admin View, go to Hiring â€ș Reapplications.

  2. Turn on Enable reapplication limits for my company.

  3. Under Reapplication waiting time, enter the number of days applicants have to wait.

  4. Under Reapplication limits, choose:

    • Job specific: anyone who applied to a job posting can't apply to that same posting again until the waiting period ends. They can still apply to other postings.

    • Company wide: rejected applicants can't apply to any job posting until the waiting period ends.

  5. (Optional) Turn on Add an optional message notification for reapplicants and write your message. You can use these placeholders:

    • %{application_scope}: shows "this position" or "position in this company"

    • %{date}: shows the date the applicant can apply again

  6. Select Save.

Note: The waiting period starts from the applicant's most recent application. If someone tries to apply too soon, they'll see your message (or a default one) on the application page instead of the form. The message isn't sent by text or email.
