To Recruitment Agencies
We have an in-house recruitment team that focuses on sourcing great candidates directly. Therefore, we do not accept unsolicited resumes from agencies or search firm recruiters. When we do work with recruitment agencies, that engagement is formalized by a contract. Fees will only be paid when such a contract is in place. Without a contract, we will not accept invoices related to unsolicited resumes, even if the candidate is ultimately hired. Please do not contact hiring managers directly.
