Scope of Work
Specify tasks, permitted scripts, candidate sourcing channels, daily or weekly hour expectations, measurable KPIs, and deliverables so performance and payment triggers are clear.
A written Recruiting Telemarketing IC Agreement reduces misclassification risk, protects proprietary lists and scripts, and sets clear payment and compliance terms for telemarketing activity under federal and state law.
The agreement is commonly used by recruiting agencies, in-house talent teams, and independent telemarketers or third-party lead generators.
A hiring or recruiting manager signs to confirm scope, deliverables, payment terms, and data handling requirements on behalf of the company. Their signature establishes business acceptance and authorizes contractor access to candidate databases.
The contractor signs to accept the stated scope, independent status, compensation rates, confidentiality obligations, and any non-competition or IP assignment provisions. Signature creates a binding commercial obligation subject to ESIGN/UETA rules.
