Our Search Process Basic Fee Agreement Submit Job Order Our Clients

Mee Derby's Basic Fee Agreement is a concise document addressing the key details of a contingency search relationship. Contact us directly for more information about our other Fee Agreements for partial retained, retained, outsourced, and contract recruiting.

BASIC FEE AGREEMENT: Mee Derby & Company Incorporated (MDC) will refer candidates to [name of company], (Client). Any referral made by MDC will be considered effective for a period of 18 months. A placement/consulting fee is charged if Client, its divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates engages the services in any capacity of a candidate submitted within 18 months of referral to Client by MDC.

MDC adheres to an equal employment opportunity policy. All applicants are referred based on their qualifications only, without regard for their race, sex, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or disability.

Resumes submitted to your company by MDC contain information furnished by individual candidates. Client acknowledges that this information has not been independently verified by MDC. All final reference checks and other background information verifications, unless otherwise specified, are the responsibility of the Client.

TERMS OF PAYMENT: Full payment is due within 10 calendar-days from referral’s start date (the first day of work for your company) to initiate the guarantee period. Otherwise, all payments are due within 30 days of the billing date. A finance charge of 1.5% per month will be added to all balances unpaid after 30 days.

GUARANTEE PERIOD: We appreciate that it is sometimes difficult to determine if someone is truly qualified for a specific position in a few interviews. MDC offers the following 90 calendar day guarantee period if your payment is received within 10 calendar days of the start date. There is no guarantee when payment is received after 10 calendar days. Should a falloff occur for any reason during the first 90 calendar days, MDC will refund a portion of the fee based on the following schedule:

01-30 days: refund 75% of fee
31-60 days: refund 50% of fee
61-90 days: refund 25% of fee
(Guarantee period begins on start date.)

FEE: The placement fee is twenty-five percent (25%) of guaranteed first year earnings which includes base salary, draw, guarantee, and signing bonus. For example, if base salary were $60,000 plus $20,000 draw, the fee would be 25% of $80,000, which equals $20,000.
