This Recruitment Placement Services Fee Agreement (the “Agreement”), is entered into by and between a client (the “Firm”) and Inventure Recruitment (the “Agency”). WHEREAS, the Firm desires to contract with the Agency for the provision of services in connection with recruiting employees, and the Agency desires to provide such services. NOW THEREFORE, the Firm and the Agency hereby agree as follows:

1. Listing
From time to time the Firm may request that the Agency recruit candidates for a particular opening with the Firm or the Firm’s affiliate(s) located in the United States. Each such request shall be called a “Listing.” Each Listing shall expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Agreement; (b) the cancellation of the Listing by the Firm; or (c) the hiring of a candidate from any source to fill opening. The Firm shall notify the Agency of the expiration of the Listing due to cancellation or filling of the opening. The Agency shall perform a commercially reasonable background check of a Referral (as defined below) in accordance with the instructions of the Firm.

2. Placement
Any candidate referred to the Firm by the Agency, shall be considered a “Referral” howsoever presented to the Firm by the Agency. A Referral shall become a “Placed Employee” if the Firm or an affiliate of the Firm located in the United States hires said Referral at any time during the 12-month period following the later to occur of (i) the date on which the Agency referred the Referral to the Firm, or (ii) the date on which the Firm last interviewed the Referral. In the event Firm has previous knowledge of a candidate (either directly or through a third-party other than the Agency) and the Firm provides notice to the Agency of such prior knowledge and does not engage the candidate through the Agency (via scheduling an interview with the candidate through the Agency or other similar processes through the Agency), then the submitted candidate shall not be considered a Referral and Agency shall not be entitled to any Fee.

3. Fees
The Firm or, as the case may be, the Firm’s affiliate(s) shall pay the Agency a fee for each Placed Employee in the amount of 25% of the applicant’s annualized starting salary only. If a hire introduced by Inventure Recruitment to The Firm leaves The Firm within 6 months after their start date, (including but not limited to quitting, termination of employment contract etc.) then Inventure Recruitment will replace the hire with a new candidate free of charge. After 6 months, the fees will be refunded in the rebate period as follows: 180-270 days: 50% of the total fee / 270-365 days: 25% of the total fee / 365+ days: 0% of the total. The placement fee will be invoiced on the date the Placed Employee begins employment with the Firm and is due within thirty (30) days from the start date.
