If you have a previous relationship with an employer and you are now working with them through RecruitiFi, it impacts your contract and fees in the following way:
Vendor Status: As a vendor of RecruitiFi, your agency becomes a sub-vendor to the Employer. RecruitiFi, as the Vendor Management System (VMS), becomes the sole recruiting vendor for the Employer, and all previous agreements are superseded by RecruitiFi's terms.
Custom Fees: Employers can designate you as a Preferred Agency and set a custom fee for your services, which is based on your previous agreement with the Employer. This fee can be:
Percentage-based
Flat fee
Variable fee, fluctuating based on the role or salary.
It's highly recommended that the Employer maintains the same fee structure that existed before they began working with RecruitiFi.
Payment and Transaction Fees: When a Preferred Agency makes a hire:
The Employer processes the payment through RecruitiFi.
The fee is passed to the agency, minus a transaction fee.
Communication with the Employer:
You can still interact with the Employer via the platform, phone, or email. If you have questions about a candidate or a JobCast, you should still communicate directly with the Employer.
For administrative matters like payments, ownership issues, and other finance-related questions, you will need to direct these to RecruitiFi, as they handle all administrative processes.
In summary, while RecruitiFi manages the contract and payments, you can continue to engage with the Employer directly regarding candidates, roles, or other aspects of your work.
