This agreement records a candidate's authorization for one recruiter to represent them to a specific client for a specific role. It protects the candidate from duplicate submissions, protects the recruiter's attribution, and makes clear that the candidate never pays a fee.

1. The authorization

I, Candidate full name (the "Candidate"), authorize Recruiter firm name (the "Recruiter") to present my resume, profile, and supporting materials to Client company name (the "Client") for the position of Role title.

2. Exclusivity for this role

1. This authorization is exclusive for this role at this Client for Representation period from the date I sign (the "representation period").
2. During the representation period I will not apply to this role directly and will not authorize another recruiter or agency to submit me to the Client for it. If the Client or anyone else approaches me about this role, I will let the Recruiter know so the process stays in one channel.
3. This authorization covers only the role and Client named above. I remain free to pursue any other opportunity, with any other company or recruiter, at any time.

3. My confirmations

1. I have not been submitted to the Client for this role by another party in the last twelve months, to the best of my knowledge.
2. The information in the materials I provided is accurate and current, and I will tell the Recruiter promptly if anything material changes — including my availability, compensation expectations, or other active processes that could lead to an offer.
3. I understand the Recruiter will share my materials and relevant process information with the Client for this role only.

4. What the Recruiter commits to

1. Submit me only to the Client and role named above under this authorization, and only after I have approved the submission.
2. Keep me informed of material developments: submission confirmation, interview requests, feedback the Client permits sharing, and outcome.
3. Represent my background accurately and not alter my resume or claims without my approval.
4. Use my personal data only for this process, keep it confidential, handle it in line with applicable data protection law, and stop processing it for this purpose if I withdraw.

5. No fee to the Candidate

The Recruiter's fee, if any, is paid by the Client. Nothing in this agreement obligates me to pay the Recruiter anything, and no placement, coaching, or administrative charge may be deducted from any compensation I receive.

6. Ending this authorization

1. I may withdraw this authorization at any time by written notice. Withdrawal does not undo a submission already made: if the Client hires me for this role through the Recruiter's submission within the representation period, the Recruiter keeps its attribution with the Client.
2. This authorization ends automatically at the end of the representation period, when the role is filled or closed, or when the Recruiter tells me the process has ended — whichever comes first.
