5 Years of Recruitment Fee Recovery

Written by

Barry Cullen

For five years, recLAW has been focused on one thing, recruitment fee recovery.

And getting recruiters paid.

In an industry where delayed payments, disputed fees, and backdoor hires are all too common, we step in when it matters most and get results.

The results speak for themselves

That’s not theory. That’s money back in recruiters’ accounts.

£13,324,852 recovered in fees

3,432 disputes handled

£438,000 biggest single recovery

Behind every number is a recruitment business that refused to walk away from money they were owed.

Why Recruitment Fee Recovery Matters

Too many recruiters accept non-payment as part of the job.

It isn’t.

Unpaid invoices don’t just hurt short-term cash flow, they slow down growth, impact hiring, and reduce the overall value of your business.

The reality is, most fees are recoverable, but only if you take the right approach.

What we’ve learned from 3,000+ disputes

Across thousands of recruitment fee disputes, one thing is clear:

The difference between getting paid and writing it off often comes down to the detail (your terms, your process, and how quickly you act).

Most recruiters don’t lose because they’re wrong.

They lose because the situation isn’t handled properly early enough.

Still fighting for recruiters

Five years in, nothing’s changed about how we approach recruitment fee recovery.

We’re direct.

We’re commercial.

And we focus on outcomes.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about theory.

It’s about getting your invoice paid.

Got a fee you’re chasing?

If it’s dragging, it’s not fixing itself.

Now’s the time to take action.
