    Susan Lee & Associates' professional approach to both the client and the candidate is perhaps their strongest asset in a very tough and competitive industry. They have been able to differentiate themselves from the competition by maintaining the highest of ethical standards and yet still being aggressive enough to pursue the "hard to get" candidates - indeed, a very difficult balance.

    Susan Lee & Associates was able to discuss with me not only what type of candidate might work for us, but went the extra mile to shed new light on how to achieve this in our hiring plan.

    Fee Agreement …
     
    Fees are due when our candidate is 1) hired by your company or 2) hired at any time within two years after your contact with our candidate. Candidates are referred to you in confidence. Should you refer or otherwise identify our candidate to another company within the two-year time limit and that company in turn hires our candidate, responsibility for the fee payment will be shared by you, the referring company, and the hiring company.
     
    Susan Lee & Associates will verify references on each candidate to maximize assurance of the required skills and experience for the client's job profile. Information obtained by us in this manner is kept confidential. You are responsible for conducting your own qualification and reference verification. In further consideration of our services, you agree to verify employment eligibility of the referred candidates you hire. You agree to mail us a photocopy of the completed I-9 Immigration Form required by Federal law immediately upon its completion.
     
    It is our policy not to discriminate in the acceptance or referral of applicants on account of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, age, or disability.
     
    Fees for a permanent position of employment are computed at a percentage of the Total Estimated Gross Annual Income of the candidate's first year of employment, which includes a reasonable estimate of the commissions, bonuses, incentives and other forms of taxable income that will be earned within the first year. All income estimates will be mutually agreed upon by the candidate, Susan Lee & Associates, and your firm prior to extending any offer of employment to our candidate.
     

    Contingency Fee Schedule …
     
    1% per $1,000 Income

If Susan Lee & Associates incurs a cost for collecting your unpaid balance, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, you agree to pay these costs.
