We do not accept unsolicited agency resumes. We will pay a fee only if the candidate is presented after there is a signed recruiting agreement in place between Shape Corporation and the agency and only if we have explicitly engaged the agency to submit resumes for a specific current opening.
We do not pay fees for unsolicited candidates submitted to Shape Corporation or any Shape Corporation employee by email, fax, phone, mail, verbal referral or any other means.
