Keeping Your Candidates Yours When You Present Them

October 20, 2026·4 min read

The more you show a client about a candidate, the more you worry about being cut out. It's a fair worry, and it's the first question most agencies ask us. Here's exactly how candidate visibility works.

What stays private

  • Candidates you invite are private to your agency. They never appear in TrueScreenHR's open marketplace, and they can't opt into it.
  • Other agencies can't see them.
  • A client only sees the candidates you present to that client, not your whole pipeline.
  • The client doesn't see the candidate's email or original resume. The profile says to contact them through your agency.
  • Clients don't pay to view candidates you present.

What the client does see

Your note, the candidate's scores, the interview transcript and the integrity read: the evidence you want them to act on.

The honest limit

The candidate's name is on the profile. No platform can stop a determined client from searching for that name elsewhere. Your client agreement still matters. What the platform can do is make sure everything it shows routes back to you.

Show the client the evidence. Keep the relationship.
