Free Recruiting Coordinator
Service Agreement
One botched background check or a ghosted candidate burns your billable hours and leaves you open to a lawsuit that’ll strip your business to the studs. If you aren't locked in with a signed agreement, you’re just a free headhunter for a client who'll stiff you the second the seat is filled.
Pro Contractor Tip
Demand a 'Kill Fee' clause so you’re compensated for the man-hours spent sourcing even if the client pulls the job requisition halfway through the project.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Recruiting Coordinator, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when a client tries to hire my lead 'off the record' to avoid my fee?
You point to the Non-Circumvention clause in your agreement; it proves you introduced the asset and ensures you get your cut regardless of their backroom deals.
The client is dumping three extra departments on my desk for the same flat rate.
Your 'Scope of Work' is your shield; if the extra roles aren't in the contract, it’s a Change Order that requires a new price tag before you source another name.
How do I handle it when the hiring manager stops responding but expects the pipeline to stay full?
Use a 'Client Cooperation' clause to pause the clock; a written agreement lets you stop work without penalty until the client provides the feedback needed to finish the job.
