The TikTok agency eligibility checker, explained for recruiters

The eligibility checker is the heart of Scout Tools. Here is what it checks, what each result means, what it shows you about your invitations, and what it deliberately does not do.

What it checks

For each creator you select, the checker asks your agency's own TikTok LIVE Backstage whether you can invite them. Each creator comes back as one of seven results:

  • Premium invite and Normal invite: your Backstage offers that type of invitation.
  • Affiliated account: Backstage showed an affiliated (multiple-account) risk warning.
  • Low playback history: Backstage said playback history is not sufficient.
  • In another agency: Backstage reports the creator is already signed to another agency.
  • Not eligible: your agency cannot invite them, with the reason Backstage gives.
  • Not found: Backstage returned no TikTok LIVE creator for that handle.

The reasons behind Not eligible

Not eligible always comes with a reason, shown exactly as Backstage reports it: over follower limit, multiple-account risk, unsupported region, not enough LIVE history, already being invited, inappropriate content, content violation or other. Some reasons change over time and others mean you should move on.

Invitations left

Backstage keeps premium and normal invitations as separate allowances. The checker shows how many of each your account has left, for example “18 normal · 4 premium”, so you can save premium invitations for the creators you want most.

The optional affiliate-risk check

For creators you want most, the affiliate-risk check opens the invite in your Backstage, reads any warning and cancels. It takes about 15 to 40 seconds per creator, and no invite is sent.

Limits and speed

Each check covers up to 30 creators and takes about 30 seconds in the check itself. Each account can check up to 3,000 creators per day.

Saved results and filters

Every result is saved on the board with the time it was checked. Filter the board by any result, including creators you have not checked yet, mark who you contacted and export to Excel or CSV.

Safety and what it does not do

Your Backstage password is used only to sign in and is never stored, and Disconnect deletes the session and your results. The checker never sends an invitation, adds no rules of its own and cannot see which accounts are linked. Scout Tools is Devign's own product, not a TikTok product; Devign is an official TikTok LIVE agency partner and TikTok games partner.

Questions

Where do the results come from?

From your agency's own TikTok LIVE Backstage, at the moment of the check. Another agency can see a different answer for the same creator.

Can I try the checker for free?
