Unique challenges, specialized solutions
The recruitment industry is unique as compared to other sectors. The majority of recruitment agencies operate on a contingency basis meaning you only get paid when your candidate lands the job. The arrangement usually includes a rebate or replacement clause, so if the candidate leaves within a fixed period the agency must offer a refund or a replacement candidate for free.
But what happens when clients avoid their responsibility after a successful placement?
Unfortunately, it’s common for clients to misunderstand their responsibilities and the technicalities of the terms of business. Sometimes clients will deliberately ignore their responsibilities in an attempt to avoid payment. General debt collectors often lack the industry knowledge to navigate the particulars of recruitment contracts, like rebates and replacements. That’s where we come in.
