Copy this clause before your next recruiter conversation

Last week, I told you about the Finance Director in Bangkok who was poached by the same recruitment agency that placed him exactly three years earlier.

That story still circulates in boardrooms across Thailand, more than a decade after it happened.

It circulates because it is not unique.

Recruitment agencies that poach their own placements operate in plain sight.

They do it because nothing in the agreement stops them.

You can jump straight to the full blog - click here.

The client (hiring company) signed a recruitment agreement and fee schedule, not a protection clause.

And when the Finance Director walks out three years later, the agency collects a second fee from their other client on the very same candidate.

Below is the exact language you can use to close that gap. 

Clause 1: No-poach protection

Clause 2: Placed candidate protection

Clause 3: Competitor disclosure

What you must do next

Three clauses. Add them to your recruitment agency agreement before you sign.
