No fees will be paid for any candidate submitted or introduced without a contract in place, even if that candidate is subsequently hired. Do not contact hiring managers directly. Any breach, including unsolicited submissions, off-PSL contact, or attempts to invoice without an agreement, will result in candidate disqualification, termination of any existing contract, and non-payment of fees.
