Afternoon Peoples,


I am in the middle of starting up a recruitment agency. I need to get my Terms of business sorted ( client-agency). Can anyone refer me onto any companies who have previously worked with recruiters?
Also, a costing of what I should by paying would be most welcome?


Many thanks in advance.


Luke

May sound wacky but have you tried googling "recruitment terms of business"? If not then my advice would be to seriously reconsider starting your own business as you'll probably face a few more difficult challenges in the road ahead.

How do you go about clients who try to force on you terms with clauses to reduce the percantage and leave 100% of operational costs on you?

If the client sacks the candidate, you get ZERO fees,....

costs such as health examination, advertising,.... would eat into your equity...

They demand lower % but in return don't even want to pay a low starting fee to cover the basic costs (job adverts, ....).

Yes, ToS are important but how many employers are ignoring them and just forcing us to accept their interpretation?

whats your experience?

Hi Andrew,

The answer is actually really simple:

1, Get your Terms signed every time and then you can enforce action if they aren't honoured;

2, Find some decent Clients - this business is hard enough without working with Clients who don't want to work in partnership with you.

Good luck!

Tom

I am doing the same as Luke.

Not sure if the copy of my terms are wide enough. I do Perms only.

If you can help, please can you send a copy of your terms to myself for consideration.

Best regards

Karen
