I run my own Recruitment Consultancy. Due to the global slowdown or corruption in the industry, most employers either want us to charge our consultancy fees from the candidates or they skip paying the consultancy fees after receiving the candidates' contact details. The candidates, who are desperate to secure a job, also support them after getting employed.
Publishing Agreement Format
Secondly, I wish to publish the format of the agreement on my website so that only genuine employers contact me. Could anyone please help me by sending a sample copy of the agreement papers?
Some employers call candidates for interviews, take their information, inform us that the candidates were not selected, and then, after 3 months, they hire those candidates without paying our consultancy fees.
Working with Big Consultants
Is it worth working for big consultants on a commission basis? I've had a bad experience there too. I provided a profile that was not visible on portals. Through my personal efforts, I managed to guide that candidate and sent the CV to a big consultant who had the relevant opening. However, he kept saying that the recruitment in the company was postponed, citing various reasons.
Attracting Authentic Clients
How can a genuine consultant attract authentic clients in today's world where backdoor jobs are on the rise? Young HRs demand money from candidates, and even after such practices, they are sometimes let go after 2-3 months.
Is there any way we can overcome all these problems I have described here?

As a Recruitment Consultancy facing challenges with employers avoiding consultancy fees and unethical practices, there are steps you can take to address these issues. Here are some practical solutions:
1. Clear Contractual Agreements: Ensure that you have clear and detailed contractual agreements with employers regarding consultancy fees. Clearly outline the terms of payment, candidate sourcing, and consequences for non-payment.
2. Candidate Protection: Implement measures to protect candidate information and ensure that candidates are not exploited by employers. Educate candidates on their rights and the recruitment process to prevent unethical practices.
3. Verification Processes: Develop robust verification processes to confirm that employers have paid consultancy fees before disclosing candidate details. Regularly follow up with employers to ensure compliance.
4. Building Trust: Establish a reputation for integrity and transparency in your recruitment practices. Emphasize your commitment to ethical recruitment and fair treatment of both candidates and employers.
5. Networking with Reputable Partners: Collaborate with reputable consultants and organizations known for ethical practices. Building partnerships with trustworthy entities can help attract authentic clients and enhance your credibility in the industry.
6. Legal Recourse: If employers consistently avoid paying consultancy fees or engage in unethical practices, consider seeking legal recourse. Familiarize yourself with relevant labor laws and regulations to protect your rights and uphold ethical standards in recruitment.
By implementing these strategies and maintaining a strong ethical stance, you can navigate the challenges posed by employers avoiding consultancy fees and unethical recruitment practices, ultimately attracting genuine clients and fostering a positive reputation in the industry.
