Hello Seniors,
We are a BPO company and I am the only HR here. So far we have been doing recruitment through database and referrals. But now I need to set up a new team of 10 agents for which I am consulting a vendor.Due to cost constraints we have asked vendor to charge candidate and not the compnay.This os Okay with him but he insists that since candidate may not pay him once he joins,we should deduct from his salary and pay him.
How do I execute this?What agreement I need to prepare?How we ensure this is communicated to candidate?In offer letter of appointment letter?I would like to make this as transperent as possible.I have not dealt with vendors before.Please help.

Hi Pavan,
Please dont make things difficult for you.
Once you have decided not to pay the vendor and have clearly communicated to the vendor the same, let the vendor himself deal with it.
Do not include these clauses in the appointment letter.
If you want to help the vendor, what you can do is, once you select the candidate, you can send the offer letter( not the appointment letter) through the vendor. This would help the vendor in convincing the candidate to pay him. The candidate can cross check with you whether its a genuine one or not. You can mention your contact number on the offer letter also. If the candidate cannot pay immediately but willing to pay on receiving the first salary, let the vendor collect a cheque from the candidate. Discuss all these things orally with the vendor. Dont put on paper. I am sure the vendor can handle it.
All the best.
