WOTC eligibility is time-sensitive and based on the hire date. Businesses must apply for WOTC within 28 days of the new employee’s start date.

Once you’ve hired a new employee be sure to drag their applicant card into the Hired column to start the automatic WOTC screening process.

To make things simple, even if you’ve hired outside of WizeHire, you can bring your new employee into your dashboard by asking them to reapply for the job on WizeHire and then drag them into the Hired column.

Please note that our Free Employment Tax Credit Screening is accessible in the US only.
