# Reimbi # Reimbi vs. Internal Accounts Payable Your Accounts Payable team is built for vendors, purchase orders, and invoices — not for reimbursing job candidates. Routing candidate expenses through AP means manual spreadsheets, slow approval chains, and weeks-long payout timelines that leave candidates frustrated and recruiters fielding status update requests. Reimbi has been helping recruiting teams reimburse candidates since 2017. Instead of forcing candidates into a process designed for vendors, Reimbi gives them a simple, mobile-friendly experience — no account creation, no spreadsheets, no waiting weeks to get paid. Your AP team gets their time back, and your candidates get a reimbursement experience that reflects well on your employer brand.
