Basic Definition: A contract in terms of recruitment is a legally binding agreement between a client and a recruitment agency or service provider that outlines the terms and conditions of the recruitment services to be provided. The contract defines the scope of the recruitment services, the duration of the engagement, the fees and payment terms, and any other relevant conditions and obligations. A recruitment contract may also include provisions for dispute resolution, confidentiality, and termination. It serves as a written record of the agreement between the parties, and provides a framework for the delivery of recruitment services, ensuring that both the client and the recruitment agency are clear on their respective responsibilities and obligations. A recruitment contract is a crucial component of the recruitment process and helps to minimize misunderstandings and ensure that the recruitment process runs smoothly and effectively.
