Agreement & outreach templates
Illustrative starting points for the documents and messages split-fee recruiters use most often.
Templates, not legal advice
Every template on this page is an illustrative starting point only. None of them are legal advice, and none should be used as-is — have a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction review and adapt any agreement before you sign or rely on it.
