Recruitment agencies Cluttons will only pay agency fees where a signed agreement is in place and the agency has been instructed by a member of our HR team. We do not accept speculative or unsolicited CVs from any third party, including recruitment agencies. Any CVs submitted to Cluttons or any of our employees outside of our formal recruitment process, including those sent directly to hiring managers or other employees, will be deemed unsolicited and will not be eligible for any agency fees.
