Agencies lose millions every year in disputed fees simply because they started working on a role before the paperwork was finalised.
The Old Way: The PDF Attachment
A recruiter sends a standard Terms of Business PDF via email. The client files it away, never signs it, and sends over a job spec. The recruiter gets excited and starts working.
Three months later, you place a candidate. The client refuses to pay the 20% fee, claiming they only work at 15%. You check the file: the terms were never signed. You have no leg to stand on. You lose the revenue.
The New Way: The Digital Lock
The Broker changes the dynamic. You send a secure link to a digital contract. The client can sign it on their mobile in 10 seconds.
Crucially, the Agent can block the recruiter from viewing candidates or submitting CVs in the ATS until that signature is received. It enforces best practice technically, ensuring no work is done for free. It turns compliance into a gateway, not an admin task.
Clause Library & Negotiation
Clients often push back. Instead of rewriting the whole contract, The Broker allows you to swap in pre-approved 'Fallback Clauses' (e.g., changing a 12-week rebate to an 8-week rebate).
It keeps a version history of every change. If a client tries to sneak in a 'non-solicitation' edit, the Agent highlights the difference in red, alerting your Legal team immediately.
Operating across borders? The Broker automatically selects the correct legal entity and currency template based on the client's location (e.g., IR35 for UK, W-2 for US).
Once the client signs, The Broker automatically countersigns on behalf of your Director and delivers the executed PDF to both parties instantly.
