Define how an interview request becomes a confirmed appointment. Test buyer and seller forms alongside the application so each request keeps its intended destination. Brokerkit's recruiting software page lists candidate capture through landing pages, an API, or integration partners. It also describes a multi-user recruiting configuration. Those published capabilities are a starting point for questions about your account. [Brokerkit recruiting software, checked 2026.10.14](https://getbrokerkit.com/home/real-estate-recruiting-software/). Use the following proposed brief with your website maintainer and recruiting-system administrator. Ask them to demonstrate the connection your website needs before accepting it. ## Give the application its own purpose and record Label the careers-page action as an application for a stated opening or an expression of interest. Explain who reviews submissions and what the applicant should expect next. Approve the wording against your actual hiring process. Keep seller, buyer, and recruiting forms separately identifiable. For each, name the receiving destination and responsible person. Require the applicant record to remain distinguishable even when the same administrator handles several forms. Specify the relationship between a person and an application. As a proposed rule, retain each application with its opening and submission date. If your system uses a shared contact record, ask how it preserves separate application history and client questions. Do not assume one form submission should replace the person's earlier purpose. Include a test where a controlled contact first asks a seller question and later applies. Require both requests to remain findable under the agreed arrangement. Use the existing [website-to-CRM field map](/articles/real-estate-crm-and-website) for general contact mapping. Add the application-specific requirements below rather than rebuilding the client inquiry workflow. ## Specify the information the reviewer needs Choose fields with the hiring owner. Collect information needed for the advertised role and initial review. Keep private client records out of the application. | Proposed application information | Requirement to resolve with the administrator | | --- | --- | | Applicant name and reply address | Identify the person and preserve a usable response route. | | Opening or role sought | Associate the application with the correct current opening or expression of interest. | | Relevant qualifications | Preserve the applicant's own account for review against approved requirements. | | Permitted work example or public website | Retain the supplied link and its context without requesting confidential transaction files. | | Source page and submission date | Identify where and when this application entered the process. | | Review owner | Name the person responsible for the initial decision and absence coverage. | | Candidate status and next action | Show where the application stands, who acts next, and the agreed due date. | Have the administrator name the actual destination for each value. Mark unsupported fields unresolved. Require a demonstration of the complete received application, including its source and opening. Write the repeat-submission rule separately. Decide whether a corrected application updates the current application or creates a related entry. Require the previous submission and review decision to remain available as agreed. ## Define candidate statuses by the action they require Use a short status sequence that matches your process. This is a proposed design, not a claim that your recruiting CRM provides these stages. | Proposed status | Evidence for entering it | Responsible next action | | --- | --- | --- | | Received | A saved application matches the submitted opening and reply details. | Review owner checks the application. | | Under review | A reviewer has accepted responsibility for the record. | Evaluate it against the approved role criteria. | | Information requested | The reviewer records a specific missing item and the request sent. | Review the response or follow the agreed follow-up rule. | | Interview requested | An invitation or scheduling request has been sent and recorded. | Confirm a mutually agreed appointment. | | Interview confirmed | The agreed time, time zone, interviewer, and meeting details are recorded. | Conduct the interview and record the next decision. | | Decision pending | The interview is complete and a decision owner is named. | Communicate the reviewed decision. | | Closed | A withdrawal or communicated decision has a dated reason. | Follow the approved record-retention process. | Keep owner, next action, and due date beside the status. A stage change should not erase an unanswered question. If someone transfers the application, require the next owner to acknowledge responsibility. Choose closure reasons that describe the application and role. Keep free-text notes tied to approved job criteria. Have the hiring reviewer approve any automated stage changes before activation. ## Make interview handoff a checkable event Specify who sends an interview invitation, who receives the reply, and who confirms the appointment. Keep the initial website acknowledgment separate from those events. For the proposed handoff, require the interviewer to receive the opening, application link, relevant work example, and questions awaiting discussion. Include the agreed appointment details and the person handling a rescheduling request. Do not advance the application to **Interview confirmed** merely because a scheduling link was sent. Ask for evidence of the accepted appointment. Test how a cancellation or reschedule changes the record and the interviewer's notification. Confirm which communications your actual account supports. Brokerkit lists Google and Microsoft integration for email and appointments, but that description does not specify your website's status transitions. [Brokerkit's published integration description, checked 2026.10.14](https://getbrokerkit.com/home/real-estate-recruiting-software/). Ask the administrator to show the configured behavior. Record any manual step and its owner in the handoff guide. - [Real estate recruiting email templates: link to your team careers page](/articles/recruiting-email-to-team-careers-page) ## Review the page and criteria before connecting automation Recruiting pages must not prefer or discourage applicants because of a protected characteristic under applicable federal or state employment law. EEOC guidance addresses discriminatory advertisements, recruitment, and hiring. [EEOC employment practices, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices). State requirements need their own review. California's Civil Rights Department identifies advertisements, applications, screening, and interviews among the business practices covered by its employment-discrimination guidance. This is a California example. [California employment guidance, checked 2026.10.14](https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/employment/). Have the responsible hiring reviewer confirm applicable law and approve page wording, form questions, status rules, and decision criteria. Base the proposed review on relevant qualifications and work. Provide a contact route for help completing the application. Treat permission to serve clients as a separate check from candidate progress. For Texas, TREC states that a sales agent needs a licensed sponsoring broker to perform real estate services. **Confirm licensing and sponsorship requirements with your broker or state real estate commission.** [TREC sales-agent guidance, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.trec.texas.gov/become-licensed/sales-agent). Review public identity before adding a successful applicant to your website. In Texas, TREC's published section 535.154 requires a team name to end in “team” or “group.” **Confirm team-name and advertising requirements with your broker or state real estate commission before publication.** [TREC rules, checked 2026.10.14](https://www.trec.texas.gov/agency-information/rules-and-laws/trec-rules). Keep these examples within Texas. Obtain the requirements for your own state rather than adopting another state's wording. ## Accept the connection against applications and client inquiries Agree on a controlled test environment and reply details before submitting anything. Use clearly marked test records. The following checks are proposed acceptance requirements, not completed tests of your website. | Proposed check | Evidence to retain | | --- | --- | | Submit a new application from the careers page. | Matching opening, source, answers, review owner, and initial status at the destination. | | Correct or repeat that application. | The agreed update behavior, retained history, and visible next action. | | Apply using a controlled contact with an earlier seller question. | Both purposes remain findable; the client question keeps its intended owner. | | Transfer the application to an interviewer. | The receiving owner can find the application, meeting details, and outstanding questions. | | Reschedule or cancel a test appointment. | The status and interviewer notification match the agreed rule. | | Simulate a delivery failure with the maintainer. | A visible failure, named recovery owner, and matching record after an authorized retry. | | Submit separate seller and buyer tests. | Each reaches its agreed destination with the question and relevant page or property context. | Compare a visible website confirmation with the saved application and recipient evidence. Require all agreed steps before marking a check passed. Keep failed or unsupported behavior open in the acceptance record. Review applicant access and retention with the responsible administrator. Name who can see applications, who can change statuses, and who handles record requests. Obtain approved retention instructions instead of copying a client-contact schedule. ## Put the website requirements into the written brief The applicant map separates recruiting statuses and interview ownership from client inquiry destinations. Request the careers connection through [whole website fix: applicant status connections](/for/real-estate). The whole website fix confirms integrations before treating them as included.
