Support for your industry
Keep the placement, terms and fee calculation connected.
A placement or staffing assignment can be complete while the client account remains unresolved. Agreed fee terms, start dates, approved hours and any guarantee or credit provisions help explain what is payable and why it is disputed.
We help agency owners and finance teams organize that account history and assess a practical commercial recovery approach. The focus is on the client agreement and unpaid fees, with clear instructions and budgets for the work undertaken.

Before you refer
a matter.
Start with the questions that matter to your team, then speak with us about your specific circumstances.
Discuss Your Agency’s AccountsCan you review a disputed recruitment placement fee?
Yes. Provide the client terms, placement record, fee calculation and a short explanation of the dispute. Any guarantee, replacement or credit provision should be included so the account can be assessed in context.
What records help with unpaid staffing invoices?
The client agreement, assignment details, agreed rates, approved hours, invoices and payment history are useful starting records. Include any dispute about time approval, billing or credits with your overview.
Is this service for our client receivables?
Yes. This page focuses on commercial recovery of placement fees and staffing invoices owed to your agency. Describe the account and your client’s position so the team can assess the requested assistance.
Can you support several agency offices or recurring accounts?
We can discuss a shared referral format, the provinces involved, anticipated volume and reporting needs. Each account still requires the relevant client terms and supporting records before further steps are recommended.
