Case by case, in writing.
Contingent and direct-hire fees are based on first-year compensation. Nothing is owed until the hire starts. Rates depend on the role, and you receive the terms before recruiting begins.
Defined in the agreement.
Applicable replacement terms are confirmed in the written agreement for the engagement. Ask Chuck to walk through the terms for your search.
