2 USE OF THE SERVICE
2.1 Relationship of the Users and RecruitiFi
Users and their Entities are bound to RecruitiFi by these Temp Terms. Users or Entities may use the RecruitiFi Platform to engage with other Users or Entities. Engagement (“Engagement”) is any action taken by one User or Entity to connect with another User or Entity on the platform. For example, Engagement may include a Company inviting a Recruiter to work on a Position, or a Recruiter submitting a Candidate to a Company. Simply creating an account or agreeing to these terms with RecruitiFi does not constitute Engagement with any other User or Entity. If there is Engagement between two Users or Entities on the Platform, the parties acknowledge and agree that they will become third party beneficiaries of these Temp Terms with the ability to enforce any clause that is relevant to their level of Engagement with the other User or Entity.
Companies will use the RecruitiFi Service to Engage with Recruiters that will present Candidates as potential temporary contracted “Resources.” If the Company selects a Candidate to act as a Resource, the Company will join into an agreement directly with the Recruiter’s Staffing Firm through a statement of services (“Statement Of Services” or “SOS”) on RecruitiFi. The SOS creates a direct contractual relationship between the Company and the Staffing Firm, binds the Company and the Staffing Firm under the Temp Terms in full, and defines additional binding details of the agreement related to that Resource.
2.2 Company Use of the Service
All Positions posted on RecruitiFi must be for bona fide Positions where the Company has the immediate need and budget to support contracted Resources. Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the progress of Candidates through the Site (e.g., when Candidates are contacted, dispositioned, interviews are scheduled and completed, Resources are selected, etc.). Company will also immediately input the details of any SOS into the Site. No Candidate may be used as a Resource until an SOS has been completed in full.
Company may communicate directly with Candidates who have been submitted and the Recruiters who have submitted such Candidates and may require Candidates to submit applications through Company’s website, HRIS, Applicant Tracking System, and/or other systems provided that Ownership (as defined in Section 3.4) of the Candidate is still retained by RecruitiFi.
2.3 Company Authorized Users
Company may create sub-accounts on the Service for one or more Authorized Users. In such event, an administrative User of the Company will create and manage the Authorized User credentials. Company will not permit any party to access and/or use the Service, other than the Authorized Users. Company will ensure that each username and password issued to an Authorized User will be used only by that Authorized User. Company alone is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Authorized Users' login credentials and is solely responsible for all activities that occur under these usernames. Company will ensure all Authorized Users agree to and comply with the Temp Terms and Company is solely responsible for any act or omission by such Authorized User. Payments related to any SOS engaged in by an Authorized User are the sole responsibility of the Company.
3. CANDIDATES AND SUBMISSIONS
From time to time, a Company may post a Position seeking Candidates for temporary contracts, Recruiters may submit through the Service information about Candidate(s) whose qualifications match the requirements for the Position (each, a "Submission" and the act of making a Submission to "Submit"). If selected for the Position by the Company, the Candidate will be considered a Resource (“Resource”). Staffing Firms shall only recruit, screen, interview, and hire for Positions that have been posted by authorized Company Users on RecruitiFi.
RecruitiFi makes no guarantees related to the quality or quantity of Candidates submitted for any Position.
3.1 Vetting and Candidate Opt-in.
Prior to making any Submission, Recruiter must have matched the Candidate's general qualifications to those stated for the applicable Position and obtained consent from the applicable Candidate: (a) for Recruiter to make such Submission; and (b) to the fact that personal data about the Candidate, whether obtained from the Candidate or the Recruiter, may be retained and used by Company and neither RecruitiFi nor Recruiter controls such Company or how it uses such data (or where such data is stored by the Company).
Staffing Firm will be solely responsible for all pre-assignment screening, background checks, reference checks, and testing of Resources in a manner consistent with Requirements put forth in the Position, the SOS, and as may be required or allowed by law, including any related recordkeeping, and including pre-screening of all candidate resumes or profiles before submitting them on RecruitiFi. Staffing Firm shall make every effort to ascertain the accuracy of the candidate’s background, education and experience, including the confirmation of any certifications or work permits necessary to satisfy the suitability of the candidate prior to submission for the Position. Staffing Firm will ensure that Resources are legally authorized to work in the country where they are being engaged as a Resource.
RecruitiFi will not be responsible in any way for any Candidate submissions, verification of their eligibility to work in the United States, their ability to perform the tasks described in the Position, their background checks, their selection as Resources for the Company, or the details of the SOS.
3.2 Recruiter’s Content.
As a Recruiter, the Content of any Submission will be considered the Recruiter’s Content for purposes of the Temp Terms, even if subsequently confirmed by Candidate. However, an individual Candidate may control the Content relating to him or her and may have certain rights in such Content, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Temp Terms.
3.3 Submission Criteria; Confirmation.
A Submission will be "Completed" when the Candidate has directly confirmed their interest in the position through RecruitiFi. Recruiter may not confirm interest on behalf of Candidates.
3.4 Candidate Ownership.
In order to be eligible to enter into an SOS relating to a Candidate a Recruiter’s Staffing Firm must have "Ownership" of that Candidate on RecruitiFi. Ownership will only result from a Completed Submission. The "Ownership Period" is one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of a Completed Submission or the completion of an active SOS, whichever date is later.
In the case where only one Recruiter has a Completed Submission for a Candidate at a given Company, that Recruiter’s Staffing Firm will Own the Candidate for any role at that Company, including roles that are not posted on RecruitiFi, for the duration of the Ownership Period.
If multiple Recruiters submit the SAME Candidate to the SAME Company, Ownership will be granted accordingly in the following scenarios:
3.5 Candidate Rejection.
A Candidate may be "Rejected" for Ownership if it is subsequently determined that the Company communicated with such Candidate in the one hundred eighty (180) days prior to being made aware of the Candidate through the Submission for the Position. Company may be required to provide documented, two-way communication with a Candidate, where a Candidate either initiated outreach or responded to outreach from the Company. Company will promptly notify RecruitiFi of such fact upon becoming aware thereof.
3.6 Candidate Hired by Company
If prior to the engagement of a Candidate as a Resource through an SOS, the Company instead decides to hire the Candidate directly as an employee, and the Candidate is still covered under the Ownership Period, a fee will be owed to the Staffing Firm. The fee will be calculated according to the conversion rate that would have been paid on day one (1) of the conversion fee schedule agreed upon between the Company and the Staffing Firm for that Position through the Platform.
3.7 Assignment of Ownership and Disputes.
RecruitiFi retains the rights over all Ownership and will be the sole party responsible for assigning ownership in accordance with these Temp Terms. As such, if there is any dispute related to Ownership of a Candidate (including the validity of any Rejection of Ownership by a Company or Submissions by a Recruiter), the final determination of Ownership will be made solely by RecruitiFi.
4. ENGAGEMENT OF A RESOURCE
4.1 Employer of Record
The Company will not act as the employer for any Candidate engaged as a Resource, unless the Resource is converted to an employee in accordance with the conversion table stated in the SOS. Company shall not include Resources in Company’s benefits plans, policies, and practices, make any offer or promise relating to Resources’ compensation or benefits, or take any action that would imply that the Company is the employer of any Resources.
Staffing Firm will act as the Employer of Record (“Employer of Record”) for any of their owned Candidates that are selected as Resources by the Company.

Resources have no authority (and shall not hold themselves out as having authority) to bind Company; and Resources shall not make any agreements or representations on Company’s behalf without Company’s prior written consent.

6.2 Timesheets
Staffing Firm shall be responsible for ensuring that hours worked by that Resource are input on a weekly basis, and submitted for Company approval in the RecruitiFi system. Hours for the prior week must be input no later than the next Monday at 11:59pm in the local time zone of the Resource (“Input Deadline”) to avoid being considered a “Delinquent Timesheet.” If Monday is an observed holiday, then timesheets shall be due the following day at 11:59pm.
Authorized Users from the Company must review the timesheet and approve or reject the timesheet through the RecruitiFi system by Wednesday at 11:59pm in the local time zone of the timesheet approver (“Approval Deadline”). If Wednesday is an observed holiday, then timesheet reviews shall be due the following day at 11:59pm. If a timesheet is not reviewed within the allotted period, the timesheet will be deemed auto-approved for invoicing purposes. If the timesheet is rejected, the disputed portion of the timesheet will not be invoiced until the dispute is settled.
If Delinquent Timesheets are input prior to the Approval Deadline for that week, the timesheet approver may choose to review the timesheet, but the timesheet will not be auto-approved at the Approval Deadline. Delinquent Timesheets are considered on time for the next Input Deadline following their submission, and will be handled under the same protocols and Approval Deadline for that approval period. RecruitiFi will not be responsible for Delinquent Timesheets submitted by Resources and/or Staffing Firms, or the late approval of any timesheet by Companies. Company and RecruitiFi will not be responsible for paying on Delinquent Timesheets that are not submitted within 60 days of the date that the hours were worked.
6.3 Invoices
RecruitiFi will invoice the Company weekly for any hours worked the previous week by the Resource at the Bill Rate agreed upon in the SOS, including any special or overtime pay due to the Resource in accordance with local law. Unless explicitly stated otherwise on the SOS, any hours input as on the timesheet as overtime hours will be billed at the standard Overtime Bill Rate of 150% of the Bill Rate. Unless explicitly stated otherwise on the SOS, any hours input as on the timesheet as double-time hours will be billed at the standard Double Time Bill Rate of 200% of the Bill Rate. Invoices will be sent to the cost center noted in the RecruitiFi Platform for the engagement of each Resource. All invoices shall be payable to RecruitiFi by the due date noted on the invoice. If any portion of the invoice is disputed by Company, Company will notify RecruitiFi in writing within sixty (60) days of the invoice date. Company will pay all undisputed portions of the invoice within the term specified above. If Company fails to notify RecruitiFi within sixty (60) days of an invoice error pursuant to this Section, its rights to invoice correction are waived and the invoice shall be treated as final.
6.4 Rate Changes
Rates may only be changed upon the agreement of a new SOS. Nothing agreed upon verbally or in writing on or off the RecruitiFi Platform between any parties will be considered valid without an updated SOS, and will not be reflected in invoicing to the Company or payments to the Staffing Firm.

Staffing Firms are not to send invoices directly to any Company, and Companies are not to pay invoices sent directly from any Staffing Firm. Any invoice paid to Staffing Firms outside the RecruitiFi system will be considered not paid.
6.7 Default of Payment
Company recognizes that RecruitiFi, the Staffing Firm, and the Resource are all the beneficiaries of the Company’s obligation to pay for the Services herein. Should Company default on any undisputed portion of any payment, it may result in one or all of the following: (a) suspension of any open Positions, (b) suspension or termination of the SOS in default, (c) suspension or termination or all active SOS, (d) termination of these Temp Terms, (e) legal or civil action against the Company. Company will be liable for any reasonable damages caused by Company’s failure to pay.
6.8 Payment to the Staffing Firm
Upon collecting payment from a Company in relation to an SOS with a Staffing Firm, RecruitiFi will pay the Staffing Firm the amount collected less a transaction fee noted on the RecruitiFi Platform.
6.9 Collection
Payment to the Staffing Firm is contingent upon RecruitiFi's receipt of payment from the Company for the SOS. Should a Company withhold payment, RecruitiFi will delay payment to the Staffing Firm until receipt of payment from the Company.
RecruitiFi will endeavor to collect payment from the Company in a timely manner. Staffing Firm waives all rights to collect any payments directly from the Company and is not to contact the Company for the purposes of collecting payments for 180 days from the invoice date. Should the Company refuse to or be unable to pay for any invoiced timesheets for a period of 180 days from the invoice, RecruitiFi will deem this invoice “Uncollectible”. The Staffing Firm shall be responsible for collecting any Uncollectible invoice, and will not be responsible for paying any fees on that invoice to RecruitiFi should the Staffing Firm be able to collect. RecruitiFi is NOT responsible for paying the Staffing Firm on Uncollectible invoices. Staffing Firm will not hold RecruitiFi liable for any such payments and agrees to hold harmless RecruitiFi for any damages and costs incurred as a result of Uncollectible invoices, including, but not limited to wages or benefits owed to a Resource, or any fees, taxes, or expenses incurred while employing that Resource.

However, in all circumstances Companies and Staffing Firms agree to rely on their own tax advice and are responsible to pay all taxes where legally obligated to do so by any taxing authority. In jurisdictions where RecruitiFi has identified that sales tax applies to employment services, RecruitiFi will bill taxable Companies and remit sales tax to the proper local tax commission.
