How We Govern Ourselves

Our Operating Philosophy

We are a specialist recruiting firm focused on manufacturing and complex B2B sales roles. Because the stakes are high (including confidential compensation data, sensitive candidate conversations, and long-term client relationships), our firm is governed by formal rules rather than informal habits.

Our standards are built around six pillars:

1. Ethical recruiting conduct
2. Candidate data protection
3. Clear guarantee enforcement
4. Defined client communication standards
5. Transparent and responsible assessment usage
6. Fee transparency

1. Ethical Recruiting Standards

Conflicts of Interest

We do not represent competing clients for the same role in the same geographic market at the same time.

Before accepting a new engagement, we conduct an internal conflict review to ensure:

• There are no overlapping active searches that would compromise focus or confidentiality
• There is no incentive to favor one client over another
• There is no dual representation that could create bias in candidate presentation

If a conflict exists, we disclose it immediately or decline the engagement.

Off-Limits Policy

We maintain strict off-limits rules to protect our clients’ teams:

• We do not recruit from active clients during the term of an engagement
• We do not proactively recruit from placed teams after a successful hire
• Any exceptions require explicit, written client permission

Our goal is a long-term partnership, not short-term placement volume.

Candidate Confidentiality

Candidate conversations are treated as confidential by default.

• We do not submit candidate information without explicit candidate consent
• We do not share resumes, compensation details, or personal data beyond what is required for evaluation
• We do not “shop” candidates across multiple clients

2. Data Handling and Retention Standards

We handle candidate and client data with the same care expected of enterprise organizations.

What We Collect

We collect only information necessary to evaluate fit for sales roles, including:

• Professional background and experience
• Role-relevant performance information
• Assessment results, when applicable

We do not collect unnecessary personal data.

How Data Is Stored

• Data is stored in encrypted, access-controlled systems with industry-standard security protocols
• Access is limited to personnel directly involved in the engagement
• We do not sell, trade, or share candidate data with third parties

Data Retention

• Candidate data is retained for a maximum of three years unless the candidate requests earlier removal
• Candidates may request data removal at any time by contacting us at privacy@precisionsalesrecruiting.com
• Inactive records are reviewed quarterly and purged according to our retention schedule

Full details are outlined in our Candidate Privacy and Confidentiality policy.

3. Guarantee Enforcement and Accountability

Our guarantee is not marketing language. It is an operational commitment.

How Guarantees Are Applied

Guarantee terms are defined in writing before an engagement begins and include:

• Clear coverage periods
• Defined replacement or refund conditions
• Specific role alignment requirements

How We Enforce Them

• Guarantees are honored without deflection or renegotiation
• Expectations are not reframed after the fact
• If a hire fails within the guarantee window for covered reasons, corrective action begins within five business days

Our objective is shared risk, not one-sided protection.

4. Client Communication Standards

We operate under explicit communication expectations, so clients are never left guessing.

During an Active Search

Clients can expect:

• A defined kickoff and role calibration within the first week
• Progress updates at least every seven days
• Honest feedback on market response
• Immediate notification of any issues or delays (within one business day)

Response Standards

• Client inquiries are acknowledged within one business day
• Time-sensitive issues are escalated immediately
• We do not disappear during difficult searches. Communication increases when challenges arise.

Clear communication is a requirement, not a courtesy.

5. Assessment Usage Transparency

When assessments are used, they are applied responsibly and transparently.

Our Approach to Assessments

• Assessments supplement human judgment. They do not replace it.
• No candidate is screened out solely by an assessment score
• Results are interpreted in the context of role requirements, experience, and interview data

Disclosure

• Clients understand what assessments measure and what they do not
• Candidates are informed when assessments are part of the process
• We do not use opaque or proprietary scoring without explanation

Assessments exist to reduce hiring risk, not to automate decisions.

6. Fee Transparency

Our fee structure is disclosed in writing before any engagement begins. There are no hidden costs, surprise charges, or undisclosed terms.

• Fee schedules and payment terms are provided at the start of the engagement
• Any changes to scope or fees require mutual written agreement
• Invoicing is clear and itemized

Oversight and Continuous Improvement

Our standards are reviewed annually and updated as:

• Market conditions change
• Legal or compliance expectations evolve
• Opportunities to reduce risk for clients and candidates are identified

We believe trust is built through clarity, consistency, and accountability.

Why This Matters

Many firms rely on third-party associations to signal credibility.

We believe credibility should be visible in how a firm operates, not simply in who it pays dues to.

These governance standards are how we protect:

• Our clients’ businesses
• Our candidates’ careers
• Our long-term reputation
