Recruiter finally paid.
You know collections are good when you have to fight.
You also know it's good when you get debtors thanking you .

Here's the happy Friday recruitment win.
Debtor decided after hire that 30% of the fee was what would be paid.
Screw the contract, this was the way it was going to be.

Image 1 is our client moving forward.
The other side got exactly what they wanted.
Now demanding a lesser fee?

Image 2 is the updated offer.
We rejected this.
No basis for the imposed self discount

Image 3 is the result.
Following the original payment plan.
Just a week of dealing with us in the middle.

Contracts are in place for a reason.

It's not the size that matters.
It's taking the weight of bad vibes and confusion away.
Changing a situation for the best.

They got an employee because of your work.
Why aren't you getting paid for it?
Recruiters work is valuable.

Recruiters pay for every one of my meals.
They pay for the clothes on my back.
They pay for the upcoming Christmas toys for my children.
Also paying for every low-tox item my wife sees online.

How about making your clients pay instead?

If I had $1 for every time I fought this argument for recruiters last week...
I'd only be able to buy 1 coffee.
Mind you, a very expensive coffee.

Introduction terms will make or break disputes for recruiters fees.
Agreed terms or not, this is the place clients will put the pressure.
It's not worth losing a placement fee over vague wording.

Collecting debts for recruiters, I see the same disputes every day.
Many of them twisting contracts to avoid paying the placement fee.
So I've done something to help prevent that.

Here is a contract.
It may not be perfect.
But, it's for you to use and pick apart.

It's made from:
- 18 of the best contracts I've dealt with
- the last 250 cases I've worked for recruiters (their disputes and responses)
- Claude sifting through the last few years of data.

And this is what I ended up with.

I'm not a solicitor, so please take it with a grain of salt.
However, for many recruiters, especially you boutique guys... this is a step up.
It may open your eyes to many of the issues others face.

The aim is to limit the amount of times a recruiter will need to fight that an introduction was made...The terms for a fee have been met...Knowing the candidate 5 years ago doesn't change that a fee is owed...Debt collection or legal fees are added to the owed amount (free debt collection 🥳 )

I'm in the business of helping recruiters live the life they dreamed of before starting such a high risk/high reward business.

So here is some free stuff to help you have 1 less risk to deal with.

Recruiters contracts are in place to keep everyone safe.
They reveal what disputes are reasonable and which are bogus.
Do your terms make the distinction easy?

Every half hour you are dealing with someone who thinks they can avoid paying for a placement… you are missing out on 30 min of this.
Don’t give clients an avenue to throw random disputes.

Give them a contract that will protect them AND your work.

Protect your time.
Test your contract against mine.
