THE SINGLE HIRING FUNNEL PROGRAM
TERMS & CONDITIONS

The Single Hiring Funnel Program

Dear New Partner,

The Contractor Consultants LLC ("We" or "Us") are excited to partner with you on the Single Hiring Funnel Program, a fixed-scope, single-role hiring engagement. Below are the key terms of our engagement.

This engagement is standalone. It is not an exhibit, amendment, or addendum to The Great Hiring Partner Program terms (the "GHP Agreement"), which are referenced solely for context, including your option to convert as set forth under One-Time Offer & Conversion Option below.

Scope of Services & Definitions

Here is what we deliver as part of the Single Hiring Funnel Program:

Rapid Recruitment Onboarding: A kickoff and intake process to define the role, the target location, compensation positioning, and the campaign plan.
Branded Hiring Suite: Custom-tailored job description and employer branding assets for the single role under this engagement.
Done-For-You Hiring (One Role): Full-service management of the recruitment process for one (1) Hiring Funnel, including sourcing, screening, and candidate management. At your option, we will conduct up to two (2) Background Screenings (criminal background screening at county, state, and national scope where available), up to two (2) Reference Verifications, and up to two (2) Personality Tests for the Hiring Funnel. If you elect not to utilize any of these services, they will not be performed.
Labor Cost Checkpoint: A one-time Labor Cost Checkpoint for the role under this engagement to confirm your compensation package is competitive within the current market.
Sync Calls: An onboarding call at the start of the engagement and one or more Hiring Review Syncs during the engagement, at a cadence determined by us consistent with the eight (8) week Active Period.

Hiring Funnel Operational Guidelines

Definition of "Hiring Funnel"

A single Hiring Funnel is defined as one (1) singular job title within one (1) singular physical location.

Location Radius: A standard location is defined by a specific Zip Code with a primary target radius of fifty (50) miles (aligned with industry standard job board structures). Any requirement beyond this 50-mile radius constitutes a separate location and is outside the scope of this engagement.
Single Location: This engagement covers one (1) Hiring Funnel only. A request for the same Job Title in a different location (outside the defined radius) is outside the scope of this engagement.

Hiring Funnel Duration

The Hiring Funnel under this engagement is active for a total period of eight (8) weeks of active campaigning and recruitment (the "Active Period").

Post-Funnel Candidate Warming

Following completion of the Active Period, we will provide post-funnel candidate warming for a period of one (1) month (the "Warming Period"). During the Warming Period, we will send two (2) outbound communications to candidates remaining in the pipeline or designated as backups, to maintain candidate engagement in the event of a replacement need or additional hire. The Warming Period does not constitute an extension of the Hiring Funnel, a guarantee of candidate availability, or an additional search.

The "No Changes" Policy

Once the Hiring Funnel is activated and the campaign is live, the specific role and location cannot be changed. If you wish to change the Role Title or the Location after launch, the existing Funnel must be closed. Because this engagement is limited to one (1) Hiring Funnel, no replacement funnel is available; a new funnel would require a separate engagement.

Commission-Only Roles (Disclaimer)

You acknowledge that "Commission-Only" positions (zero base salary) present unique challenges in the current labor market. While we will execute these searches, you accept that these roles typically result in lower application volume, lower candidate quality, and worsened performance metrics compared to roles offering a base salary. We cannot guarantee standard performance results for Commission-Only Hiring Funnels.

Closing Date

The "Closing Date" is the date on which the Hiring Funnel is deemed closed, which occurs upon the earliest of:

Expiration of the eight (8) week Active Period;
Your material failure to comply with Client Responsibilities after written notice from us;
Your election to close the Hiring Funnel following a successful hire; or
Mutual agreement of the parties to close the Hiring Funnel.

The Warming Period runs from, and does not extend, the Closing Date.

Client Responsibilities

To ensure we can work efficiently and effectively together, we ask the following from you:

Feedback: Provide substantive candidate feedback within three (3) business days of receipt. "Substantive" means feedback sufficient to allow us to adjust and improve the search, beyond a simple acceptance or rejection without explanation.
Exclusivity: You acknowledge that maintaining competing job postings during the Active Period may result in candidate confusion, increased advertising costs, and reduced search performance. You are encouraged to disable overlapping postings during the Active Period.
Disclosure: Disclose any external relationships with other recruiters or services that directly overlap with the Services to ensure fair distribution of job ads and prevent process overlaps.
Communication: Maintain open lines of communication and make reasonable efforts to attend and participate in ongoing, recurring touchpoints and business review meetings.
Process Compliance: Follow our recommended hiring process, interview scheduling guidelines, and decision timelines. You acknowledge that deviations from the recommended process may adversely impact search outcomes.
Legal Compliance: You shall not direct us to violate applicable federal, state, or local law, including applicable anti-discrimination, pay transparency, and data privacy requirements.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

If you fail to provide substantive feedback within three (3) business days, miss three (3) or more consecutive scheduled meetings, fail to disable competing job postings, fail to disclose overlapping recruiter relationships, or fail to follow our recommended hiring process, we shall provide written notice of non-compliance. If you fail to cure within five (5) business days of such notice, we may, at our option, deem the Hiring Funnel closed.

Term & Termination

Term

This engagement commences on the Effective Date and continues until the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the end of the Warming Period, unless earlier terminated as expressly provided herein.

Mid-Engagement Termination by Client

You may direct us in writing to cease active campaigning at any time prior to the Closing Date. Absent such direction, we will complete the eight (8) week Active Period. The Fee is non-refundable in whole or in part, except as expressly provided under the Great Candidate Guarantee, including in the event you direct cessation under this provision. Mid-engagement cessation does not extend the Active Period, does not entitle you to a replacement funnel, and does not toll or extend the Conversion Window.

No 90-Day Walk-Away

The 90-day "Great Partner Guarantee" walk-away described in the GHP Agreement does not apply to this engagement and is not incorporated herein.

Termination by Company for Cause

We may terminate this engagement immediately upon written notice to you in the event of your material breach, including but not limited to breach of the One-Time Offer & Conversion Option provisions, the Non-Solicitation provisions, or the Confidentiality provisions. Payment failures are addressed exclusively through the late fee mechanic and collection rights described under Fees below, and do not give rise to immediate termination under this provision unless the unpaid balance remains outstanding for more than thirty (30) days following written notice. Upon termination under this provision, the Fee remains non-refundable, and any additional remedies provided in this engagement or available at law or in equity remain available to us.

Great Candidate Guarantee

Guarantee: If, by the end of the Guarantee Period, we have not either (i) presented at least three (3) Qualified Candidates or (ii) produced at least one (1) Hire for the Hiring Funnel, you may terminate this engagement and receive a refund of fifty percent (50%) of the Fee paid, provided you give written notice within seven (7) days after the end of the Guarantee Period. This is the sole circumstance under which the Fee is refundable. Termination under this guarantee ends the Conversion Option. Upon conversion to a GHP Agreement, this guarantee terminates and is of no further effect, and your sole benefit in respect of the Fee is the SHF Fee Credit described below; you shall have no right to a refund under this guarantee following conversion.
Guarantee Period: The "Guarantee Period" is the sixty (60) day period commencing on the date the Hiring Funnel is activated and the campaign goes live. If activation has not occurred within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date due to your delay or failure to provide what we reasonably require to launch, the Guarantee Period is deemed to have commenced on that thirtieth (30th) day.
Definitions: "Qualified Candidate" means a candidate who meets all of the following: (i) satisfies all mandatory requirements specified in the Client-approved job description; (ii) passes our initial phone screening; (iii) has a resume and Vetted Candidate Summary approved by you as meeting the specified skills, experience, and certification requirements; and (iv) is approved by you for a subsequent interview based on our submission. "Hire" means a candidate who (i) was submitted by us for the role under this engagement, (ii) was interviewed by you, (iii) received an offer of employment from you, and (iv) accepted that offer.
Conditions and Exclusions: The Guarantee does not apply, and no refund is available, if: (i) the Hiring Funnel is for a Commission-Only or 1099 role; (ii) you change the Role Title or Location, or request closure of the Hiring Funnel, before the end of the Guarantee Period; (iii) you fail to meet your feedback or communication obligations under Client Responsibilities; (iv) you maintain competing job postings or engage external recruiters for the same role contrary to Client Responsibilities; (v) you engage in conduct toward candidates or our personnel that is abusive, or that candidates reasonably perceive as unprofessional, misleading, or discourteous; or (vi) you misrepresent the role, location, or entity scope of the engagement.
Refund Timing: Any refund due under this guarantee will be issued within thirty (30) days after we confirm the conditions of this guarantee are met.

What You Pay, When You Pay, and What You Get

Fee

The total Fee for the Services under this engagement is Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000), payable in full upon execution. The Fee is fixed, fully earned upon execution (subject only to the Great Candidate Guarantee), and non-refundable under any circumstance except as expressly provided under the Great Candidate Guarantee, including mid-engagement cessation, deemed closure for non-compliance, termination for cause, or non-conversion.

Payment Failure

If the Fee is not received in good funds upon execution, we are not obligated to commence Services. If any previously tendered payment is reversed, fails to clear, or is otherwise returned unpaid, the resulting unpaid balance shall incur a late fee of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, until paid in full.

Billing Disputes

You shall notify us in writing of any invoice dispute within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, specifying the disputed amount and the basis for the dispute. Failure to provide timely written notice of a dispute constitutes acceptance of the invoice.

Collection Costs

If any amount due remains unpaid for more than sixty (60) days after the date due, we may, in addition to any other remedies: (a) refer the account to a collection agency or attorney for collection; (b) report the delinquent account to credit reporting agencies; and (c) recover all reasonable costs of collection, including collection agency fees and attorneys' fees. The mediation requirement described below does not apply to collection actions for undisputed amounts past due.

One-Time Offer & Conversion Option

One-Time Offer

The Single Hiring Funnel Program is available once per company, and remains a one-time offering before, during, and after any conversion to the GHP Agreement. For these purposes, "company" includes you and any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, successor, or entity under common ownership or control with you, where "control" means the direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting equity of an entity. If you or any such related entity has previously entered into, or following this engagement enters into, a Single Hiring Funnel Program agreement with us in violation of this restriction, we may terminate the engagement immediately and retain the Fee in full, and you shall pay us liquidated damages in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) in addition to any other remedies available under this engagement or at law. The parties acknowledge and agree that the actual damages resulting from such breach would be difficult or impractical to ascertain, that the amount set forth above represents a reasonable estimate of those damages as of the Effective Date, and that this amount is not intended as a penalty. The mediation requirement described below does not apply to our enforcement of the liquidated damages and termination rights set forth in this provision.

Conversion Window

You may request to convert this engagement to a Great Hiring Partner™ Service Agreement (a "GHP Agreement") at any time from the Effective Date through the date that is fourteen (14) days following the Closing Date (the "Conversion Window"). Conversion is subject to the mutual agreement of you and us and is effected only upon execution by both parties of both (a) a GHP Agreement and (b) a Conversion Addendum to GHP, in each case in our then-current form, within the Conversion Window. Verbal election, partial execution, or execution of only one instrument does not effect conversion. If the Conversion Window expires without conversion, the option terminates and may not be revived without our written consent.

SHF Fee Credit

Upon conversion, the $6,000 Fee paid shall be applied as a flat credit against the GHP package price, regardless of which GHP package you select. If you pay the GHP Annual Price in a single upfront payment, the credit is applied in full against that payment. If you elect quarterly installments, the credit is applied as four (4) equal credits of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500), one against each quarterly installment. The credit will be reflected in the Conversion Schedule to the Conversion Addendum.

In-Progress Funnel Roll-Over

If the conversion occurs while the Hiring Funnel under this engagement remains in its Active Period or Warming Period, the funnel shall continue under the GHP Agreement and shall count as one (1) of the Hiring Funnels included in your selected GHP package. The eight (8) week Active Period and one (1) month Warming Period continue to run from their original start dates under this engagement. No clocks reset upon conversion. The Conversion Addendum identifies the in-progress funnel by role and location.

GHP Annual Term Effective Date

You expressly acknowledge and agree that, upon conversion, the twelve (12) month Annual Term under the GHP Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced on the Effective Date of this Single Hiring Funnel engagement, and not on the date of execution of the GHP Agreement. The renewal date and all other dates calculated by reference to the Annual Term shall be calculated from the Effective Date of this Single Hiring Funnel engagement.

Waiver of GHP 90-Day Walk-Away

You expressly acknowledge and agree that, upon conversion, the ninety (90) day "Great Partner Guarantee" walk-away right set forth in the GHP Agreement is waived and shall not apply. You acknowledge that the Single Hiring Funnel engagement served as your trial of our services and that the GHP Agreement, if executed, represents a non-cancellable twelve (12) month commitment subject only to the termination provisions expressly set forth in the GHP Agreement (other than the Great Partner Guarantee).

GHP Supersedes SHF on Conversion

Upon execution of the GHP Agreement and the Conversion Addendum within the Conversion Window, the GHP Agreement shall supersede this engagement as to all matters arising on or after the GHP effective date, except (a) accrued payment obligations and (b) provisions of this engagement that expressly survive termination, which shall continue to apply to the period prior to conversion.

No Obligation to Convert

Conversion is at the mutual discretion of you and us.

Mutual Non-Disparagement

You agree not to disparage us, The Contractor Consultants, and or our officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents, in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputations or personal reputations. Likewise, we agree to direct our officers and directors not to disparage you in any manner likely to be harmful to you or your personal or business reputations or relationships. "Disparage," as used herein, includes without limitation false or misleading statements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these terms & conditions prohibits either party from responding accurately and fully to any request for information or disclosure of documents if required by law, court order, subpoena or other legal process, in any criminal, civil, or regulatory proceeding or investigation, or in any legal dispute between the parties. In addition, nothing in these terms & conditions is intended to prohibit or restrain the parties in any manner from making disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation.

Confidentiality

Definition

"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party ("Disclosing Party") to the other ("Receiving Party") in connection with this engagement, including business plans, pricing, methodologies, candidate pipelines, employee data, organizational structures, compensation information, and financial information.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) was rightfully in the Receiving Party's possession prior to disclosure; (c) is rightfully obtained from a third party without restriction; or (d) is independently developed without use of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

Obligations

The Receiving Party shall: (a) hold Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care; (b) use Confidential Information solely for purposes of this engagement; and (c) limit disclosure to employees and contractors with a need to know who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those herein.

Company Materials

You acknowledge that our recruiting methodologies, assessment frameworks, screening processes, candidate sourcing strategies, pricing structures, and proprietary tools (collectively, "Company Materials") constitute trade secrets of the Company. You shall not reverse engineer, copy, or disclose Company Materials to any third party, including other recruiting firms or internal recruiting personnel, without our prior written consent.

Duration

Confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of this engagement for three (3) years, provided that obligations with respect to trade secrets shall continue for so long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

Non-Solicitation of Employees

Covenant

During the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following expiration or termination of this engagement, you shall not directly or indirectly solicit for employment, hire, or engage as an independent contractor any employee of ours who was involved in providing Services to you under this engagement, without our prior written consent.

Scope of Solicitation

For these purposes, "solicit" means targeted recruitment efforts directed at a specific Company employee and does not include general employment advertisements or job postings not specifically directed at Company personnel.

Placement Fee

In the event you hire or engage any such employee during the restricted period, whether through solicitation by you or voluntary application by the employee, you shall pay us a placement fee equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the employee's annualized base compensation at the time of departure from the Company. This fee reflects our investment in recruiting, training, and developing our personnel and constitutes a standard commercial recruitment fee, not a penalty. The placement fee shall be due within thirty (30) days of the employee's start date with you.

Injunctive Relief

We shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce this provision without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

Survival

This non-solicitation provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this engagement for any reason.

Intellectual Property

Client Deliverables

Subject to full payment of all fees due, you shall own all right, title, and interest that we own and have the right to transfer in the deliverables expressly created for you under this engagement, exclusive of the career landing page (collectively, "Client Deliverables"). Until all fees are paid in full, we retain a security interest in the Client Deliverables.

Company IP

We retain all right, title, and interest in: (a) the Company Materials; (b) all pre-existing intellectual property; and (c) all general know-how, methodologies, processes, and techniques developed or refined in the course of providing Services, even if informed by work performed for you.

License

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Company Materials solely as incorporated into the Client Deliverables and solely for your internal hiring purposes during the Term.

Feedback

Any suggestions, recommendations, or feedback you provide regarding the Services or our operations ("Feedback") shall be the sole property of the Company. You hereby assign to us all right, title, and interest in any Feedback, and we may use such Feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

Performance Data

We may collect and retain data regarding your use of the Services, including hiring metrics, time-to-fill statistics, and candidate flow data ("Performance Data"). We own all Performance Data and may use it in anonymized and aggregated form for benchmarking, service improvement, and marketing purposes.

Marketing Rights

We may identify you as a customer and use your name and logo in client lists and marketing materials. For testimonials, case studies, or marketing materials that include specific statements attributed to you, we shall obtain your prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Once approved, such materials may be used in perpetuity.

Data Protection & Compliance

Background Screening

You acknowledge you are the "end user" of all consumer reports obtained on your behalf under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). You are solely responsible for:

Providing required disclosures and obtaining required authorizations from candidates.
Complying with all adverse action notice requirements.
Using background check information solely for lawful employment purposes.

We warrant that our background screening procedures comply with all applicable FCRA requirements, including the use of standalone written disclosure forms and proper candidate consent procedures.

Candidate Data

You represent that you have all necessary rights and consents to permit us to process candidate data for recruitment purposes.

Data Security

We shall maintain commercially reasonable safeguards to protect data in our possession. In the event of a data breach affecting your data, we shall notify you within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery.

Data Retention

Following termination, we may retain candidate data and recruitment records for up to three (3) years for compliance and legitimate business purposes.

Service Standards

Standard of Care

We shall perform the Services in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. We do not guarantee any specific outcome, including the number of qualified candidates, time to fill, candidate acceptance, or post-hire performance.

Client Cooperation

You acknowledge that successful outcomes depend substantially on your active participation. We shall not be liable for delays or failed searches attributable to your failure to meet your responsibilities.

Remedies

Your sole and exclusive remedy for any material failure by us to perform under this engagement shall be re-performance of the deficient Services to the extent reasonably practicable. This sole-remedy limitation governs claims for our failure to perform and does not limit your separate termination and refund right under the Great Candidate Guarantee, which arises from termination of this engagement rather than as a remedy for breach. The Fee remains non-refundable as described under Fees above.

Terms our lawyer insisted we include

The Contractor Consultants is here to help you find candidates but is not responsible for the actions, performance, or suitability of any candidate presented or any individual hired by you.

In no event will we be liable under this engagement for consequential, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or enhanced damages, lost profits or revenues or diminution in value, arising out of this engagement, regardless of (1) whether such damages were foreseeable, (2) whether we were advised of the possibility of such damages or (3) the legal or equitable theory upon which the claim is based. Our total liability for any and all claims and damages arising out of or related to this engagement shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by you to us under this engagement.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) the actions, performance, or suitability of any candidates presented by us or hired by you; (c) your employment decisions and practices; or (d) your breach of this engagement. This indemnification obligation shall not apply to claims arising solely from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

This engagement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Before initiating any legal proceeding, the initiating party shall first submit the dispute to mediation administered by JAMS or another mediator agreed upon by the parties, in Los Angeles County, California, with costs split equally between the parties. Good faith participation in mediation requires each party to submit a mediation brief and attend the mediation with a representative who has authority to settle the dispute for the full amount demanded by the other party. If a party initiates a legal proceeding without first participating in mediation in good faith, that party shall not be entitled to recover attorneys' fees, costs, or expenses, regardless of outcome. Any dispute not resolved through mediation shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and each party hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. The prevailing party in any legal proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.

We are an independent contractor. Nothing herein creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship. Our personnel are not your employees. All candidates recruited under this engagement are presented for engagement as your W-2 employees unless you specify otherwise in writing prior to activation of the Hiring Funnel. You are solely responsible for all classification decisions regarding recruited candidates and shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing worker classification.

We shall not be liable for delays or failures to perform resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, pandemics, government actions, labor disputes, internet failures, cyberattacks, or disruptions to third-party platforms. If a force majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate upon written notice, and you shall pay for Services rendered through termination, subject to the non-refundability of the Fee.

All notices required or permitted under this engagement shall be in writing and delivered by email, or to such other email address as a party may designate by written notice. Notices shall be deemed delivered upon confirmed transmission if sent before 5:00 p.m. local time of the recipient on a business day, otherwise on the next business day.

You may not assign this engagement without our prior written consent. We may freely assign this engagement to any affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets. This engagement binds and inures to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of your jurisdiction of formation; (b) you have full power and authority to enter into this engagement and perform your obligations hereunder; (c) the execution and performance of this engagement do not violate any law, regulation, or agreement to which you are bound; (d) the individual accepting this engagement on your behalf is authorized to do so; (e) all information provided to us in connection with the Services is accurate and complete in all material respects; and (f) the representations regarding the one-time-per-company limitation under One-Time Offer & Conversion Option are true and correct as of the Effective Date. You shall promptly notify us of any material change affecting these representations.

The provisions of this engagement relating to the Great Candidate Guarantee refund obligation, non-refundability of the Fee, payment failure, billing disputes, collection costs, the One-Time Offer & Conversion Option, limitation of liability, indemnification, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, confidentiality, intellectual property, data protection, remedies, notices, assignment, and governing law shall survive expiration or termination of this engagement, together with any accrued payment obligations. No failure or delay in exercising any right operates as a waiver, and no waiver is effective unless in writing signed by the waiving party.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding their subject matter and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, and may not be modified or amended except through a written agreement signed by both parties. For the avoidance of doubt, if and when you execute a GHP Agreement and Conversion Addendum, that combined instrument shall supersede this engagement as set forth under One-Time Offer & Conversion Option. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision approximating its intent.

By accepting this engagement letter, you agree to the terms and we look forward to a successful hiring process with The Contractor Consultants.
