Alliance Partnership Terms and Conditions

Last updated: May 2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. BY PAYING THE ENROLLMENT INVOICE, SELECTING A PARTNERSHIP TIER, OR UTILIZING THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE ENGAGED HEADHUNTERS ALLIANCE, YOU (THE "PARTNER") AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND POLICIES INCORPORATED HEREIN.

1. The Partnership & Scope of Services

The Engaged Headhunters Alliance (hereafter "the Alliance") provides backend operational support, marketing, and candidate/client sourcing infrastructure to solo recruitment professionals (hereafter "the Partner").

  • Alliance Responsibilities: Depending on the product tier selected, the Alliance will perform outbound candidate sourcing, job board distributions, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media marketing campaigns, and direct scheduling of qualified candidates and prospective clients onto the Partner’s designated calendar.
  • Partner Responsibilities:The Partner maintains sole responsibility for conducting all booked calls, managing client relationships, interviewing candidates, negotiating end-client contracts, and finalizing placements ("making deals").

2. Product Tiers & Commission Split Structures

Upon enrollment, the Partner elects to purchase one of the following separate products, which dictates the upfront enrollment fee, the operational scope, and the performance split:

  • Product A: The Core Alliance Engine (Tier 1)
    • Upfront Fee: $5,000 USD (Non-refundable enrollment and setup fee)
    • Performance Split: 60% to the Partner / 40% to the Alliance on gross revenue from all closed placements derived from Alliance leads.
    • Scope: Standard outbound outreach infrastructure, localized/organic social media ads for passive talent, standard job board distribution, and calendar booking management.
  • Product B: The Elite Scale Accelerator (Tier 2)
    • Upfront Fee: $15,000 USD (Non-refundable enrollment and setup fee)
    • Performance Split: 70% to the Partner / 30% to the Alliance on gross revenue from all closed placements derived from Alliance leads.
    • Scope: High-volume outbound infrastructure, premium job board syndication, advanced multi-channel candidate PPC/social ads, dedicated client-acquisition ad funnels, and priority calendar routing.

3. Revenue Tracking, Reporting, & Remittance

  • Mandatory Reporting:The Partner is legally obligated to notify the Alliance via email or the designated portal within three (3) business days of any placement contract or service agreement signed by a candidate or client introduced via the Alliance's sourcing or marketing efforts.
  • Invoicing End Clients: The Partner is responsible for invoicing the end-client directly. Upon receipt of the placement or sourcing fee from the end-client, the Partner must remit the Alliance’s respective commission split (40% or 30%, depending on the tier) within five (5) business days, retaining the remaining majority percentage (60% or 70%).
  • Audit Rights:To ensure accurate commission tracking, the Alliance reserves the right to audit the Partner’s placement records, CRM logs, and placement-related bank deposits upon seven (7) days' written notice.

4. Lead Attribution & Non-Circumvention

  • Protected Leads:Any candidate or client profile, contact info, or lead data sourced, contacted, generated via paid ads (PPC, social ads, job boards), or booked by the Alliance is considered a "Protected Lead" and remains the joint operational property of the partnership.
  • Non-Circumvention: The Partner strictly agrees not to bypass, circumvent, or avoid the Alliance to avoid paying the agreed-upon split for any Protected Lead. This non-circumvention protection extends for twelve (12) months following the termination of this agreement. Any violation triggers immediate liability for the full alliance commission split plus any collection or legal fees incurred.

5. Advertising, Marketing, & Intellectual Property

  • Ad Optimization & Discretion: All budget allocations, platform distribution, ad copy, and media choices for PPC, social ads, and job board distributions are handled at the sole discretion of the Alliance.
  • Intellectual Property: All ad creative, landing pages, marketing funnels, copy, tracking data, and backend systems generated by the Alliance remain the exclusive intellectual property of the Alliance. No rights or ownership of advertising assets transfer to the Partner.
  • Partner Cooperation: The Partner agrees to swiftly provide accurate job order specifications and target persona details to ensure the Alliance can properly optimize ad copywriting and demographic targeting.

6. Independent Contractor Status

This Agreement does not create an employer-employee relationship, a legal partnership, a joint venture, or a franchise. The Partner operates as an independent business entity and is solely responsible for their own business expenses, taxes, licensing, and professional liability insurance.

7. Term & Termination

  • Term: This agreement commences immediately upon payment of the upfront product fee and continues on an ongoing basis.
  • Termination:Either party may terminate active outreach and marketing campaigns by providing thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party.
  • Survival of Pipeline: Any candidate or client pipeline generated, or deals in progress at the time of termination, remain subject to the designated performance splits (60/40 or 70/30) upon closing, regardless of when the final deal is executed.

8. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification

  • No Revenue Guarantees: While the Alliance guarantees the execution of marketing, sourcing, and outreach services, the Alliance does not guarantee a specific volume of revenue or closed deals. Final monetization depends entirely on the Partner’s sales execution, communication, and closing capability.
  • Indemnification:The Partner agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Alliance and its officers from any legal claims, damages, losses, or disputes arising from the Partner's interactions with clients/candidates, representations made during calls, or breaches of third-party employment contracts.

9. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action arising out of it, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
