How to Connect with Agencies Effectively
Once you have added your Profile Essentials, it's time to start connecting with Agencies using the Manage Agencies tool. Remember: Agencies can only see your full portfolio once the connection is confirmed.
Discover New Agencies
Start connecting with agencies via the Manage Agencies button, located in the top right corner of your dashboard.
Next, click on Find New Agencies to explore potential partners. Use available filters, such as recruiting country, study destination, program type, or agency name, to narrow your search and find suitable collaborators.
Once you have set the filters, click to browse the agency network results.
This is an example of how they will be displayed:
Click 'More Info' to view additional information before connecting with the agency:
Adding New Agencies (Requesting to Connect)
Once you are ready to send a connection request to this agency through the platform, you can click 'Connect' and it will take you to the next window:
If you have created Agency Groups, assign the Agency here, or leave this section blank. Hit 'Send'.
To view your pending invite requests (requests that you have sent out to agencies) go to the 'Manage Agencies' page, and click on the +Add Agency button.
Then, click on 'Pending Invites'. From here, you can re-send any request that is pending.
Adding New Agencies (Incoming Requests)
For each incoming request from an Agency, you will get an email and in-app alert. To review them, and respond, goto the 'Manage Agencies' page.
The 'Pending Requests' bar will appear with a number indicating how many requests you need to respond to.
Click on the '+' symbol to expand the list, where you can view 'More Info' about each Agency.
Respond by clicking 'Accept' to connect immediately, or 'X' to deny the request. Agencies will only be notified of successful connections.
Important Tip💡: Please remember the difference between the sections 'Agency Discovery' and 'Manage Agencies'.
Agency Discovery = Find new agencies to connect with. Once the connection is established, they will no longer show in this section. This is exclusive for the purpose of browsing through the network.
Manage Agencies = See your confirmed connections. This is where you find the agencies you are connected with and your pending connection requests.
