This policy is designed to provide clarity and certainty to placement agencies, Verrill, and our recruits, including by way of example, in situations where we have received duplicative submissions from multiple sources. Accordingly, if a placement agency submits a resume without a prior signed agreement with us, we will not be bound by that agency’s terms, or recognize any claim that may be made by that agency. If you represent a placement agency and wish to negotiate such an agreement with us, please contact our Assistant Director of Talent Acquisition and Development, Sarah Lacombe.
