Recruiter Terms of Business Template for England and Wales

Recruiter Terms of Business in England and Wales govern the agency-client relationship and protect placement fees. Under English contract law, a fee crystallises on introduction of a candidate — not on commencement of employment — so the terms must define "introduction" precisely to prevent fee avoidance.
