Overview
The Recruiter Rules of Engagement or RROE is a document being developed to establish rules of engagement between recruiters and the talent they are wishing to recruit.
It is intended to be used in a fashion similar to a software license.

Features
The document is provided with several features designed to protect all parties involved with the recruitment procedures.
Document Versioning
The RROE is versioned and users can pick or choose the version that best fits their situation.
Signing
All documents a (PDF version and txt version) are digitally signed, with a provided public key for validation.
Email Signature (Coming soon)
Each version comes with a template to add to any email signature.
LinkedIn Signature (Coming soon)
Each version contains a template to add to any LinkedIn profile.
Forms (Coming soon)
The RROE defines some information a recruiter is required to provide to proceed with the engagement. Each RROE provides a templat form that can be forwarded to recruiters. The form does not directly relate to the candidate so it can be reused for the same position.
Recommendations
It is highly recommended users of this document retain their own copy of this document with its digital signature. The document is an agreement between the user and the recruiter, so even in the absence of the rroe website or repositories, you have a copy of the agreement sent to the recruiter.
Disclaimer
The document has not been vetted by any legal counsel at this time. As this project develops we hope to engage those with better legal understanding to weigh in on the level at which recruiters are bound by such a document.
This is in no way an arrangement between RROE website and any other parties. This is solely the candidates responsibility.
