This agreement covers a single candidate submission. It fixes, before the client sees the candidate's details, who the candidate is attributed to, for how long, what the fee is, and what happens if the client hires them. It is designed for situations where the parties have no master recruiting agreement in place.

1. The submission

1. Recruiter firm name (the "Recruiter") submits the candidate identified as Candidate identifier (the "Candidate") to Client company name (the "Client") for the position of Role title.
2. The submission date is Submission date. The Recruiter confirms it has the Candidate's authorization to make this submission.

2. Acceptance or rejection of attribution

1. By countersigning, the Client accepts the submission for review. If the Client believes it already knows the Candidate through another active source, it must say so in writing within five business days of receiving the Candidate's full details, with reasonable evidence; otherwise attribution to the Recruiter stands.
2. Attribution lasts for Ownership window from the submission date (the "ownership window").

3. Fee trigger and amount

1. The fee is triggered if, during the ownership window, the Client or any affiliate engages the Candidate in any capacity — employee, contractor, or through a third party — for this role or any other role.
2. The fee is Fee amount or percentage, calculated on the Candidate's first-year base compensation where expressed as a percentage.
3. The fee becomes due on the Candidate's start date and is payable within Payment terms of invoice. No fee is owed if the Client does not engage the Candidate during the ownership window.

4. Guarantee

If the Candidate resigns or is dismissed for cause within Guarantee period of starting, and the fee was paid when due, the Recruiter will either search for one replacement at no additional fee or credit the Client as the parties agree in writing at that time.

5. Confidentiality of the submission

1. Until the Client accepts the submission, the Recruiter may share the Candidate's profile in anonymized form. The Candidate's identity and full materials are disclosed only after acceptance.
2. The Client will use the Candidate's materials and personal data only to evaluate the Candidate for its own roles, will not forward them to any third party, and will handle them in line with applicable data protection law. If the Client passes the Candidate to another entity that engages them during the ownership window, the fee in section 3 applies as if the Client had made the hire.

6. Process commitments

1. The Client will give interview feedback and decisions within a reasonable time and will notify the Recruiter promptly of any offer, engagement, or start date involving the Candidate.
2. The Recruiter will keep the Client informed of the Candidate's availability, competing processes, and compensation expectations as they evolve.

7. General

1. This agreement covers only the Candidate and role named above; it creates no exclusivity and no obligation to submit or accept further candidates.
2. The parties are independent contractors. This is the entire agreement for this submission; amendments must be written and signed. It is governed by the law of Governing law jurisdiction.
