3. Recruiting and Sourcing Services

Talent Supplier is being engaged by Crowdstaffing in accordance with this Agreement to provide the services set forth in this Agreement. Talent Supplier shall not render any services until this Agreement and any and all other documents necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement have been signed and approved by Crowdstaffing, in accordance with this Agreement.

4. Payment

Payment details for services provided by Talent Supplier to Client(s) are set forth and agreed to in writing between Talent Supplier and Client and/or Talent Supplier and Crowdstaffing, which shall be set forth in approximation at the time the Client job order requisition is issued by Client via the Crowdstaffing platform, and confirmed in writing at the time of candidate offer issuance and acceptance. To become eligible for assignment and/or placement fees a candidate identified by Talent Supplier must be exclusively referred for a Client’s specific open job order requisition via the Crowdstaffing platform. If the Client already has a referral or submittal of the same candidate presented to the same Client for the same job order requisition by another third party staffing services and/or sourcing and recruiting agency (hereinafter called a “Vendor”), and/or candidate is a known entity of client, the submission by Talent Supplier will be considered ineligible for assignment payment and/or placement fees to Talent Supplier, due to candidate submittal which was first in time. Talent Supplier shall issue a digital Right to Represent (RTR) to the candidate via the Crowdstaffing platform that the Talent Supplier has sourced and identified for the open position, which the candidate must sign. The RTR is specific to the candidate, the position, and the particular Client. Talent Supplier retains the candidate who has signed the RTR for the individual job until the specific position is closed. Crowdstaffing reserves the right to transfer, or reassign a candidate who had executed a RTR with Talent Supplier, in the event that Talent Supplier breaches the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise violates the intent, implied and expressed for the Crowdstaffing Program.

Where Crowdstaffing is serving as Employer of Record (“EOR”), Talent Supplier shall continue to earn assignment payments throughout the duration of their Contractor’s assignment in which the Talent Supplier holds the RTR. Where applicable for direct-hire, full-time placements, Talent Supplier shall receive a one-time fee, based on the predefined fee as described in a job order requisition for the placement contingent upon fulfillment of all conditions, including but not limited to the retention duration of the placement.

Candidate submissions must be made only through the Crowdstaffing Platform or via Crowdstaffing approved written communications (e.g., electronic mail). All submissions made outside of the system or outside Crowdstaffing approved communication methods will be considered invalid, rendering the Talent Supplier ineligible for further payment with regard to those candidate submissions. Thereafter, Crowdstaffing reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at Crowdstaffing’s sole discretion.

Talent Supplier recruited Contractors assigned to the Client must submit timesheets, as directed by the Client and/or Crowdstaffing, every 7 day period or 14 day period, depending upon the Crowdstaffing Program, for work performed during such periods for Client. Crowdstaffing invoices Client for said hours for each and every period worked by the Contractor and pays Talent Supplier within no more than ten (10) days of payment received from Client for the Contractor assignment hours worked during each period, which had been invoiced to Client. Crowdstaffing has no obligation to pay Talent Supplier until Crowdstaffing has been paid for same by Client. Crowdstaffing shall not be obligated to pay Talent Supplier until and unless Client pays Crowdstaffing for each and every week of the Contractor assignment. This is a pay-when-paid material contractual term. Furthermore, Crowdstaffing shall invoice Client for each Direct-Hire Employee placement fee and shall pay Talent Supplier within no more than ten (10) days of payment received from Client. Crowdstaffing shall not be obligated to pay Talent Supplier until and unless Client pays Crowdstaffing for the placement.
