This Statement of Work (SOW) agreement is between Field of Talent LLC ("Company") and
("Customer") and is effective as of the date of signature below. This agreement is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Master Services Agreement ("MSA") and Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement ("NDA") between the parties, which are made a part hereof. Any term in this agreement not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning specified in the MSA.
Section I. Scope of Work, Fees, Expenses
Level: Sow
Field of Talent LLC will be your talent acquisition partner to help you find, source, and recruit qualified candidates for your positions.
Term & Original Effective Date:
- Original Tracking Date: For tracking purposes, all future tier updates, contract periods, and changes shall trace back to the original pilot commencement date.
- 12-Month Term Incorporation: The 12-month contract term explicitly incorporates the initial 90-day trial/pilot period.
- Future Upgrades/Downgrades: If a new tier level (e.g., Harvest) is executed after Month 9 of an active term, a new 12-month agreement will be initiated.
- Non-Automatic Renewal: This agreement shall not automatically renew unless mutually agreed upon in writing by both parties.
Flexibility & Pausing Clauses:
- Customer can scale up or down with 30 days' written notice.
- Trial Period Termination & Pausing: The initial 90-day trial period is subject to a strict 60-day minimum commitment. Customer may provide notice of non-renewal of the trial between day 45 and day 60, to be effective on day 60. Failure to provide notice by day 60 automatically commits the Customer to the remaining 30 days. If services continue into the final 30 days of the trial period and work is performed or an invoice is issued, Customer shall be responsible for the full remaining balance of the 90-day trial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any candidate is hired at any point during the trial period, Customer is obligated to pay for the entire 90-day trial period in full and forfeits the right to terminate early at the 60-day mark.
- Customer can pause or stop with sixty (60) days' written notice during the 12-month term.
- Pause Protocol: If the Customer issues a written notice to pause services, monthly fees remain due during the 60-day notice period, after which the services stop and the monthly fee drops to zero ($0) for the duration of the pause. A pause may last as long as needed.
- Resumption of Service: Pausing the services terminates the active contract runway. To restart services, the Customer must execute a new agreement via the website based on the tier/level needed at the time of restart.
Anticipated Start: Commences with a Kickoff Meeting.
Target Positions: To be determined at or after the kickoff meeting and documented on the Strategic Talent Plan document. Advertising budget is included.
Understanding of Exclusivity: To ensure the most effective results and maximize the value of our services, it is understood that Field of Talent LLC will serve as the exclusive recruitment partner for this engagement. This includes advertising and job postings for the roles assigned to Field of Talent LLC. If Field of Talent LLC is managing your ads (sponsored and/or organic postings), the Customer shall not post for the same job(s) at the same time. Doing so may dilute results, cause redundant ad spending, and create a suboptimal candidate experience.
Payments to Company
Customer agrees to automatic recurring purchases processed against either a credit card or bank account (ACH) on file with Field of Talent LLC.
- Failed Payments & Suspension: If any automatic payment fails, Customer must remedy the payment within 7 days of notice. Field of Talent LLC may suspend services if payment is not received within 15 days of its due date and may apply a late payment charge of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.
