After a request has been published, you may want to bring in additional suppliers. Fill lets you invite new suppliers to an active request at any time, so you can widen your talent pool as needs evolve.

How to invite a supplier to an active request

  1. Open the request you want to invite a supplier to.

  2. Navigate to the Suppliers tab.

  3. You'll see a list of currently invited suppliers and their engagement data. In the top-right corner of the table, click Invite supplier.

  4. Choose how you want to add the supplier:

    Company network
    Select from your organisation's preferred suppliers.

    Marketplace
    Browse carefully selected suppliers from Fill's wider network.

    Other supplier
    Enter contact details for a specific supplier not yet on the platform. An invitation will be sent to them.

  5. Click Invite and the invitation will be sent out.

The supplier can now submit candidates to the request.

When to use which supplier category

Selecting the right category helps you control outreach and get the best responses:

  • Use Company network when working with your organisation's trusted, preferred suppliers.

  • Use Marketplace when you want to broaden your reach or access additional expertise.

  • Use Other supplier when you want to invite a specific supplier not yet on the platform.

You can only add suppliers to an active request. If a request hasn't been activated yet, contact us at [email protected] and we'll help you get started.
