Overview

A Recruitment Agreement is a contract between a company and a recruitment agency (or headhunter). It governs how the agency finds, vets, and introduces candidates to the hiring firm.

Businesses need this when outsourcing their hiring process to ensure they are not overcharged and that the agency provides a "guarantee period." It is essential for protecting against situations where an agency bills for a candidate who was already in your database.

The legal importance lies in the "Ownership of Candidate Profile." Under Indian law, this agreement prevents disputes over who "found" the candidate and ensures that the agency is held accountable for the quality and veracity of the profiles they provide.
