Recruitment Services Agreement

A recruitment agreement is a document between a recruiter and a client. The recruiter agrees to provide recruitment services to the client.

Recruitment services can be defined as those in which the recruiter finds and screens job candidates for the client, and then presents suitable candidates to the client for employment (colloquially referred to as headhunting).

Recruiters can work in many different areas: legal, administrative, small business, etc. Recruiters can be extremely valuable resources, meaning that they often have a lot of experience in selecting the perfect candidates for the roles they are asked to fill. In addition, many small businesses or individuals find that they simply don't have the time to devote to a search for potential candidates, so a recruiter is a great idea to help them.

Recruiting contracts are simple. In fact, they usually just outline the basics of the relationship between the parties and the recruiter's fee.

How do I use this document?

This document can be used by either party – the recruiter or the client. If the recruiter is looking for a template agreement that they can use with all of their clients, this document is an excellent choice.

As mentioned above, these agreements are relatively simple. The main clauses that need to be agreed to are:

• the fees the recruiter will receive. The most common types of fee agreements are those in which the recruiter receives either a flat fee or a commission. Sometimes the recruiter will receive a combination of both. If neither of these types of agreements is applicable to the relationship, any other fee agreement can be entered in the form;

• the specifications of the candidates to be hired;

• the date by which a candidate must be found.

Once this document is completed, it must be signed by each party. Each party should then keep a copy.

Applicable Law

Recruitment agreements are contracts that will be subject to the interpretation of provincial and territorial law, like most contracts. In most cases, they are not governed by specific legislation.

How to modify the template?
