A staffing business runs one agreement with the client and another with the worker, and the money sits in the gap between them. When the client may end an assignment on a day's notice and you owe the contractor a week, that gap is yours. Karyalo keeps both sides of the paper in one place, issued from wording you have already approved.
Risk in recruitment paper is rarely one bad clause. It is a term on the client side with no match on the worker side, discovered on the day somebody wants to leave. The only way to find it is to read the two documents against each other before either is signed.
Often the client's own version, sometimes a preferred-supplier agreement you were told to take whole. It sets the fee, the rebate, the introduction period, and who owns the candidate if they reappear in eighteen months.
Your paper, signed at volume, usually the same document a hundred times over. Notice, rates, timesheets and restrictions all have to line up with what you promised the client.
Signed before you see a role specification or a headcount plan. Short, rarely read, and occasionally the document that decides whether you may approach a candidate you found first.
The part of the deal the client reads most carefully. Whether a refund slides or is full, what counts as the start date, and whether a replacement resets the clock.
Every position below appears by name in the review list Karyalo runs a contract against, so an incoming set of client terms comes back under headings a recruitment desk already recognises.
The clause that decides whether a client may take your contractor onto their own payroll, and what that costs. Watch the mirror clause too: a restriction on approaching candidates you introduced, running for years, with no limit on sector or geography, is a restraint on your core business.
Invoice on start date, on completion of the rebate period, or on a timesheet approved by somebody who is on leave. Each version moves the cash by weeks. The one worth arguing about is any term letting payment be withheld on an approval you cannot chase.
A client who may end an assignment immediately, against a contractor you owe a week's notice, is a loss written into the paper. Compare the two notice periods before you sign either document, not after the assignment ends.
Client terms commonly push worker classification, tax and employment claims onto the agency by indemnity, uncapped and sitting outside the liability cap. It is the largest single exposure most staffing businesses carry, and it is usually accepted without a conversation.
Whether your terms travel to the buyer, whether your fee protection travels with them, and whether the new owner may assign your agreement onward without asking you first.
Fees on a single assignment can be a few thousand, while the claim behind them is a bad hire on a critical project. Check what the cap is measured against, and which carve-outs sit outside it entirely.
Volume is the constraint. The contract work has to survive a consultant who is closing three roles at once, which means approved wording and one link rather than a process nobody follows.
The document your desk signs at volume lives in the clause library and in a drafting workflow, so every issue starts from approved text. When a rate or notice clause changes it changes in one place, not in whichever copy somebody had open.
Your positions on rebates, transfer fees, notice and indemnity written down once, then run against whatever the client sends. Findings come back green, amber or red with the clause quoted, and the redline goes into the document where the offending wording was.
After execution Karyalo proposes what is owed, by whom and by when. A person accepts or edits each one before it is saved, and the reminder arrives while there is still time to act on it.
A contractor opens one link and signs. No login is created, the link carries an expiry and can be revoked, and the executed PDF records the name, method, time and a hash of exactly what was in front of them.
Nobody in a staffing business has a legal team down the corridor. The paper is handled by whoever has a gap in the day.
Wants terms out today. Approved wording and a single send is the only version of contract discipline that survives a busy desk.
Usually operations or finance, with no legal team behind them. A written playbook turns their judgement into something the whole desk can apply without them in the room.
Live on what triggers the fee and when the rebate expires. Both come out of the executed contract as dated obligations rather than diary entries.
