How To Deal With Unsigned Contracts

It all falls under the same legal concept and the rule of law as it says that under certain circumstances you have to sign the contract or else it is not a valid contract. If it was never approved, then it is not binding or valid. If you’re a recruiter and you don’t have a signed contract, then, you don’t have a case.

An oral contract cannot be longer than one year, because if you do, that’s more likely do not having a contract at all. But, an email or an acceptance of a resume could be connected to your contract, by following an attorney’s legal advice.

It doesn’t mean that the acceptance of an email or the approval of a resume means that you accept the terms and conditions. It gives an argumentative point and not absolute unless you bind it to your written contract and have it signed.
