The proof is a service level agreement with names, numbers and dates in it. Most agency guarantees look generous until you read what voids them, and the voiding conditions are usually the part that determines whether the protection ever pays out. This guide sets out the clauses worth negotiating, and the ones that quietly turn a guarantee into a gesture.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"cs-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/corestaff-sept-art4-hero-2.jpg\" alt=\"A stopwatch beside a signed contract with a shield and checklist, a recruiter presenting to a client\" title=\"How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>A guarantee is only worth what its clauses allow.

It can mean anything from the day the role is briefed to the day the candidate accepts, from first shortlist to signed contract, or from kickoff to start date. A supplier that reports a strong time-to-fill without defining it is reporting a number you cannot compare, and a number you cannot hold anyone to.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Define the clock start.<\/strong> Brief received, or role signed off internally? The gap between the two is often two weeks you never counted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Define the clock stop.<\/strong> Offer accepted, or start date?

A promise of five CVs is worthless if three are unsuitable. The stronger version commits to a number of candidates who meet the brief and have been screened against it, with the screening criteria attached. Insist on a definition of what disqualifies a candidate, because that is where a weak supplier leaves room to pad a shortlist with volume.<\/p>\n<h2>The replacement guarantee, and its fine print<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"cs-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/corestaff-sept-art4-c2-1.png\" alt=\"Defining Time-to-Fill\" title=\"How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Defining Time-to-Fill<\/figcaption><div class=\"cs-imgmeta\"><span class=\"k\">Title:<\/span> How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses<br \/><span class=\"k\">Alt:<\/span> Defining Time-to-Fill<br \/><span class=\"k\">Description:<\/span> The clock must have a stated start and stop<br \/><span class=\"k\">File:<\/span> <code>art4-c2.png<\/code><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"cs-tw\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Clause<\/th>\n<th>What to check<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Guarantee window<\/td>\n<td>How long after placement the replacement applies, counted from start date, not offer date<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Replacement terms<\/td>\n<td>Whether replacement is free, pro-rata, or capped to one attempt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Voiding conditions<\/td>\n<td>Role changed, salary reduced, or reporting line altered after placement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Exclusions<\/td>\n<td>Resignation versus termination, and redundancy carve-outs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Scope<\/td>\n<td>Whether the guarantee covers the same role or any role at the same level<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The single most common voiding condition is a material change to the role after placement. If you widen the scope, cut the salary or change the reporting line, the guarantee can fall away. That is not unreasonable, but it should be stated plainly, not buried in a schedule. A supplier confident in its screening will happily narrow the voiding conditions; one that will not is telling you where the risk actually sits.<\/p>\n<h3>Four clauses that quietly void a guarantee<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"cs-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/corestaff-sept-art4-c3-1.png\" alt=\"Replacement Window by Seniority\" title=\"How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Replacement Window by Seniority<\/figcaption><div class=\"cs-imgmeta\"><span class=\"k\">Title:<\/span> How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses<br \/><span class=\"k\">Alt:<\/span> Replacement Window by Seniority<br \/><span class=\"k\">Description:<\/span> Indicative protection window after placement (months)<br \/><span class=\"k\">File:<\/span> <code>art4-c3.png<\/code><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The role-changed clause.<\/strong> Any material change to scope, title or reporting line resets the guarantee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The same-role clause.<\/strong> Replacement is only offered for the identical role, which is rarely how hiring actually works.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The one-attempt cap.<\/strong> A single replacement, regardless of whether that replacement also fails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The payment-in-full clause.<\/strong> The guarantee is void unless the invoice was settled within a short window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Verify the licence before anything else<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"cs-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/corestaff-sept-art4-c4-1.png\" alt=\"Clauses That Quietly Void a Guarantee\" title=\"How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Clauses That Quietly Void a Guarantee<\/figcaption><div class=\"cs-imgmeta\"><span class=\"k\">Title:<\/span> How to Read a Recruitment SLA: Time-to-Fill, Replacement Windows and Guarantee Clauses<br \/><span class=\"k\">Alt:<\/span> Clauses That Quietly Void a Guarantee<br \/><span class=\"k\">Description:<\/span> Check each before you sign<br \/><span class=\"k\">File:<\/span> <code>art4-c4.png<\/code><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Any employment agency operating in Singapore must hold a valid licence from the Ministry of Manpower. Corestaff Pte Ltd holds Employment Agency Licence 18C9027, under UEN 201633744E. A licence number on a page is a claim you can check, and you should, before you sign an SLA with a new supplier. Licence status, not pitch quality, is the first filter.<\/p>\n<h2>How to compare two suppliers side by side<\/h2>\n<p>Line the two agreements up against the same six fields: clock start, clock stop, shortlist number and definition, guarantee window, replacement term, and voiding conditions. The supplier with the shorter list of voiding conditions and the clearer definitions is usually the better partner, even when its headline fee is higher. If you want a structured way to run that comparison, our <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/recruitment-agency-fees-singapore\/\">fee comparison<\/a> sets out the models alongside the terms that should accompany each.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-note\"><strong>A guarantee without a window is not a guarantee.<\/strong>Insist on a stated replacement window, a stated replacement term and a stated list of voiding conditions. Three sentences turn a gesture into a commitment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-cta\">\n<h3>See the terms in writing<\/h3>\n<p>Corestaff publishes its licence details, its time-to-fill commitments and its replacement terms on one page, so you can compare them against any other supplier before you sign.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cs-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/hiring-guarantee-singapore\/\">Read the guarantee page<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cs-faq\">\n<details>\n<summary>What is a normal replacement guarantee window?<\/summary>\n<p>Windows vary by supplier and by role seniority. What matters is that the window, the replacement term and the voiding conditions are all stated in writing and counted from the start date.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does changing the salary after placement void a guarantee?<\/summary>\n<p>It can. Many guarantees are voided by material changes to the role, so check the clause before you adjust a placed hire&#8217;s terms.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How do I verify an agency&#8217;s licence?<\/summary>\n<p>Check the employment agency licence number against the Ministry of Manpower register before signing, and confirm the legal entity name matches the one on your contract.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Should time-to-fill pause during client delays?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes.
