The 30-second fix

You’ve sourced a brilliant candidate. The client’s warm. You’re on the brink of a placement. And then…
You hesitate to send your terms of business.

Sound familiar?

It’s a common fear in recruitment. “What if the client walks?” “What if I kill the vibe?” The result? Delayed terms, risky conversations, and worst-case scenario: you lose the deal and the fee.

Let’s change that. Here’s how to send your recruitment terms clearly, confidently, and in under 30 seconds; without stress, without awkward follow-ups, and without compromising your leverage.

1. You hold the power. Use it.

Before you hit send on that CV, remember this:

You’ve got the goods. They don’t.

The candidate intel sits with you, not the client. That gives you leverage. Your terms of business aren’t an obstacle. They’re your safety net. Your contractual protection. Your value framework.

Sending terms early positions you as a professional. Not a pushover.

2. Make it frictionless (for them and you)

Clients don’t want admin. They want talent. So ditch:

• E-signature back-and-forth
• Legal bottlenecks
• IT delays

With Lawspeed’s terms uploaded to our platform, Proterms, your terms of business are sent, tracked, and logged in seconds. No PDFs. No scanning. No stress.

Just a clean, automated digital link with:

• A full audit trail
• Timestamped client views
• No downloads or logins required

3. Control the narrative, without pushing

Here’s the magic: if the client proceeds after receiving your terms (interviews a candidate, asks for more CVs, etc.) that’s acceptance. With Proterms, every interaction is automated and logged, protecting you legally while keeping the relationship smooth and easy. You’ve:

• Protected your value
• Avoided legal waffle
• Maintained momentum

That’s next-level recruiting.

4. Don’t give away the farm

We see it too often:

❌ CVs sent before terms
❌ No clear acceptance
❌ Vague email intros
❌ Terms only sent after the client shows interest

These missteps leave you vulnerable to fee disputes, candidate poaching, and unrecoverable revenue.
Remember: terms first, talent second. Always.

5. Automation isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Manual processes aren’t just slow — they’re risky.

Human error = revenue lost.
Automation = protection at scale.
