The Legal Risk Score of a Recruitment Services Agreement Template

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document requires the Company to strictly comply with various obligations regarding the employment and treatment of Employees, which could pose a risk if the Company fails to adhere to these conditions, potentially leading to financial or reputational damage.
  • The agreement places the responsibility for maintaining confidentiality of candidate and employee information solely on the Company, which could be risky if such information is inadvertently disclosed by Company personnel.
  • The document does not specify detailed recruitment conditions or service levels until the schedules are filled in, which could lead to ambiguity or mismatched expectations between the Recruiter and the Company about the scope and quality of recruitment services provided.
