FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Unsure about how we work? We have gathered the most common questions for your convenience.
Because internal process notes do not create the same clarity as candidate-facing terms. Problems often arise when the agency's actual onboarding, communications, or data-sharing steps are not reflected in the written terms the candidate sees. For example, there may be uncertainty around what information a candidate must keep updated, how introductions are made, or how the agency may use candidate details when putting someone forward for a role. The fixed-fee work is intended to improve clarity and reduce avoidable gaps, not to replace broader operational compliance work. because the legal position also depends on how your agency operates in practice.
They commonly cover how candidates register, what information they provide, how the agency may contact them, what happens when they are introduced for roles, candidate responsibilities around accuracy and updates, and how personal information is collected, used and shared. Depending on your model, the terms may also address eligibility checks, withdrawals, communications preferences, and limits around what the agency can promise about placements. The right approach depends on the working arrangement, the supporting documents, and the factual context, not just the title of the document.
We look at how your candidate journey works in real life. That can include how candidates sign up, whether registration happens through a website or consultant, what information you collect, how you communicate with clients, and whether you place permanent, temporary, or contract roles. We also consider any existing privacy materials or onboarding documents already in use. This matters because the factual working arrangement can matter as much as the contract wording. A generic set of terms may not fit if your data flows or placement process are more specific than that.
A template may cover the broad headings, but it often misses the details that matter for a recruitment business. For example, it may not line up with your actual registration flow, the way candidate details are shared with clients, or the steps candidates take when updating records or withdrawing from consideration. Those gaps can matter if the written terms are later tested against what your agency actually did. This service We will make the key issues clear so you can decide what to do next. especially where business practices and documents do not align.
That depends on how quickly the key information is available and whether you already have existing terms, privacy wording, or onboarding materials for us to review. Once we have the relevant details, we prepare the draft and you can check it against your real candidate journey and internal process. The included amendment round can then be used to refine the wording. If the review raises wider issues about how your agency collects, uses and shares information, those may need separate advice beyond the document itself.
