:::info Update from May 2023
We had to raise the price from 200€ to 300€ to be able to continue to offer this service.
The rest of this blog post will reference the old price.

Some of the most common questions we have seen over the years in our Slack workspace had to do with recruiter contracts and how hard it is for a freelancer to know whether they are fair or not.
A typical recruiter contract has 12-15 pages (often separated into a framework contract and a project agreement) and is not easy to understand by someone who doesn’t see these kinds of documents every day.
What can you do when faced with such a contract? You could google certain clauses that sound fishy or ask other freelancers in a community like Uplink, but you can’t be sure that the answers you receive are substantiated. Alternatively, you could try to find a lawyer specialized in these kinds of contracts, but it takes time to do so and you might end up spending several hundreds of Euros and not receive a satisfactory assessment either.
So we decided to team up with an experienced lawyer and offer the “contract check” as a service! For a flat fee of 200€ (+ VAT) our lawyer will review your contract and point out common pitfalls, exaggerated fees, and everything else you should be aware of.
