Notice to Staffing Agencies, Placement Services, and Professional Recruiters

The Cord Group and its affiliates and subsidiaries ("WorleyCord Group") have an internal recruiting department. The Cord Group may supplement that internal capability from time to time with assistance from temporary staffing agencies, placement services, and professional recruiters ("Agencies"). Agencies are hereby specifically directed NOT to contact Cord Group employees directly in an attempt to present candidates – The Cord Group’s recruiting team or other authorized Cord Group personnel must present ALL candidates to hiring managers.

To protect the interests of all parties, The WorleyCord Group will not accept unsolicited resumes from any source other than directly from a candidate. Any unsolicited resumes sent to The WorleyCord Group, including unsolicited resumes sent to a WorleyCord Group mailing address, fax machine or email address, directly to WorleyCord Group employees, or to The WorleyCord Group’s resume database will be considered WorleyCord Group property. The WorleyCord Group will NOT pay a fee for any placement resulting from the receipt of an unsolicited resume. The WorleyCord Group will consider any candidate for whom an Agency has submitted an unsolicited resume to have been referred by the Agencies free of any charges or fees and the property of The WorleyCord Group.

Agencies must obtain advance written approval from The WorleyCord Group’s recruiting function to submit resumes, and then only in conjunction with a valid fully-executed contract for service and in response to a specific job opening. The WorleyCord Group will not pay a fee to any Agency that does not have such agreement in place.

Agency agreements will only be valid if in writing and signed by an approved procurement and recruitment representative of The WorleyCord Group or his or her designee. No other WorleyCord Group employee is authorized to bind The WorleyCord Group to any agreement regarding the placement of candidates by Agencies. The WorleyCord Group hereby specifically rejects, and denies any liability under, any agreement purporting to be accepted based on negative consent, negotiation with a candidate, performance, or any means other than the signature of a WorleyCord Group approved representative.
