Freedom Truespeed Group recognise the service provided by recruitment agencies and as such have a Preferred 2nd tier Supplier List, with whom terms of business have been agreed. Only suppliers who have signed up to these terms can place candidates with Freedom Truespeed Group and will receive instruction directly from us to do so. Freedom Truespeed Group is therefore unable to consider speculative CV's or proposals from any other third party and any speculative CV's or proposals being sent into the organisation will be treated as gifts.

As such, Freedom Truespeed Group reserves the right to directly contact any candidates who have been speculatively submitted by a third party and shall therefore not be liable for any fees whatsoever should it choose to engage the candidate’s services. Furthermore, speculative submission of candidate CV's does not establish a right of representation should the same candidate’s details also be submitted by a Freedom Truespeed Group Preferred 2nd tier Supplier or independently by the candidate themselves.

Submission of any unsolicited CV's and proposals to Freedom Truespeed Group will be deemed evidence of full and unlimited acceptance of these terms and agreement that these terms are the totality of any commercial or contractual relationship whatsoever in respect of the candidate(s) whose unsolicited CV's were sent.
