A recruitment agreement is a legally binding contract between a company (the client) and a recruitment agency. This document outlines the terms and conditions under which the agency will provide recruitment services to the client. Key elements of a recruitment agreement include the scope of services, which details the specific tasks the agency will perform, such as sourcing, screening, and presenting candidates for open positions. It also specifies the compensation structure, which may be a flat fee, a retainer, or a percentage of the hired candidate’s salary.
