What should be ready before contacting a recruiter?
Bring the work the hire will own, actual location and schedule, reporting line, essential experience, compensation parameters and the people who will make the decision. An incomplete brief can still start a discussion, but it should not be presented as settled.
Can a recruiter verify legal credentials?
Employers should set their own verification process and use the appropriate official authority. For local court resources, start with New York State Unified Court System. This site does not determine admission status, good standing or eligibility to practice.
Does an inquiry create a recruiting engagement?
No. An inquiry begins a discussion. The provider and employer must agree scope, fees, candidate ownership, screening responsibilities and any other commercial terms in a written engagement before recruiting work begins.
