If they leave early, payments stop — no rebate arguments
Most agencies charge once a candidate starts, even though the real test begins after they join. A CV can look right and an interview can go well, but the hire only matters if they actually turn up, perform and stay.
A well-written CV tells you someone can sell themselves. It does not tell you they can do the job.
An hour in a room proves someone can talk well. It does not prove they will turn up on site at 7am every day.
The real test is what happens after the start date. That is when the fee should actually be earned.
