You might try speaking with the players who do the IC recruiting and see if there is a way to arrange ICly for your Lala to be sought out and invited rather than him applying. Perhaps someone has a super friendly Miqote who would befriend him on the street and say,
"Hey, I'm a recruiter for a Free Company. You should join."
Lots of this.
We often run into this issue in the FC I'm in. People want to apply, but they don't know how their character would find out about the group, how they'd get looped into it, and so on. Despite the semi-IC styling of our application form, we're pretty open on how to actually do the IC side of the recruitment based on what works better for a given character. I've RPed conversations set up by our NPC caretaker, randomly bumping into people and striking up a conversation, and even meeting someone in the field and being impressed by their skill.
I suspect most RP FCs are similar -- if they like your app, they're willing to work with you on how exactly you get RPed in, as opposed to just slapping a tag on you and saying "that's that." Think of the app as the OOC part of the process and the actual recruitment as the IC part. Since it's IC, it can be done however all parties involved want to.
