In certain circumstances we engage with agencies who are on our list of Preferred Suppliers only. We do not accept speculative CV’s from agencies outside of our Preferred Supply List.
We pay agency fees only when an agency has been instructed by a member of the HR team and when terms of business have been agreed upon in advance.
We therefore want to make all agencies aware that Carnell do not pay non-approved fees when speculative and unsolicited CVs are submitted to any Carnell employee without prior engagement and permission. In these circumstances, we reserve the right to contact these candidates directly and initiate discussions without payment of any agency fee.
Submission of any unsolicited CVs to any Carnell employee will be deemed evidence of full and unlimited acceptance without payment of this Agency policy set out by Carnell.
