01 Agreement to terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Winslow Search LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Winslow Search," "we," "us," or "our"), covering your access to and use of our website at winslowsearch.com (the "Site") and all associated services, including recruiting, executive search, contract staffing, and career coaching (collectively, the "Services").
By visiting the Site, providing your résumé or contact details, executing an engagement letter, or otherwise utilizing our Services, you accept these Terms along with our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, please refrain from using our Services.
02 Our services
Winslow Search runs an employment-agency practice that connects experienced professionals ("Candidates") with US-based employers ("Clients"). Our core service offerings are:
- Direct-hire placement — permanent, full-time role placement;
- Contract & contract-to-hire staffing — project-based and temporary-to-permanent engagements;
- Executive search — retained search for VP-level and C-suite positions;
- Career coaching — one-on-one advisory engagements billed separately.
Candidates are never charged for our Services. All fees are paid by the Client upon a successful placement. Career coaching is an optional, fee-based offering governed by its own agreement.
03 Eligibility
In order to use our Services, you must:
- Be at least eighteen (18) years old;
- Hold authorization to work in the United States or in the jurisdiction of the position you are pursuing (or be eligible to secure such authorization);
- Not be prohibited from using our Services under applicable US law, sanctions, or as a result of a prior account termination;
- Supply accurate, complete, and current information.
04 Candidate obligations
By submitting your candidacy to Winslow Search, you represent and warrant that:
- All information you supply (résumé, work history, education, references) is truthful, complete, and accurate;
- You possess the legal right to share any third-party information you provide (such as prior employer details);
- You will inform us without delay of any material changes to your circumstances while a search is active;
- You will not misstate your credentials, work authorization, or employment status;
- You permit us to present your candidacy to specific Clients only after we have secured your informed consent for each individual search.
05 Client obligations
By engaging Winslow Search as a Client, you agree to:
- Furnish accurate role specifications, compensation ranges, and hiring timelines;
- Treat every candidate introduced through us with professionalism and in full compliance with applicable EEO laws (Title VII, ADA, ADEA, GINA, USERRA, and relevant state equivalents);

- Refrain from soliciting, hiring, or contracting with our employees or any candidates we have introduced for at least twelve (12) months after our last interaction, unless you have obtained our prior written consent;
- Keep all candidate information we share with you confidential, in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
06 Fees & payment
6.1 — Candidates
Winslow Search does not charge candidates for any placement services. We will never ask for payment in connection with résumé review, interview preparation, or job placement. Anyone claiming to represent Winslow Search and requesting money, banking information, or payment of any kind is committing fraud — please report it immediately to security@winslowsearch.com.
6.2 — Clients
Client fees are determined by the signed engagement letter between the parties. Standard fee structures include:
- Direct-hire: a percentage of first-year base compensation, payable upon successful placement;
- Retained executive search: a three-installment retainer (engagement, shortlist, placement);
- Contract staffing: an hourly bill rate with a transparent markup over the contractor’s pay rate;
- Career coaching (when purchased by individuals): a fixed-fee program priced according to the coaching engagement letter.
All fees are invoiced in US dollars and due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date unless a different arrangement is agreed to in writing. Overdue payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is lower.
6.3 — Replacement guarantee
For direct-hire placements, we offer a 90-day replacement guarantee: if a candidate we placed voluntarily departs or is terminated for cause within 90 days of their start date, we will perform a replacement search at no extra charge. Complete terms are set forth in the engagement letter.
