I've recently had my first interview for a contracting role. The interview went well and feedback from the interviewer to the recruiter was positive (but a formal offer has yet to be made as I understand there may be one more candidate to interview).
As the interviewer is on leave for a few days I've been told we'll have a definitive answer by Friday (a week from the interview). All fine so far.
My recruiter has indicated that it would be worth kicking off the various compliance process in advance of official confirmation of an offer being made.
The email I've been asked to respond to contains the following text:
"Should an offer be made, I <name> would accept an offer of <day rate> per day as presented by <client> for the <role> with <hiring manager> for an initial <x> Month contract, starting on ASAP (subject to successful pre – employment screening), I would like <agent> to accept this on my behalf and progress with the necessary compliance checks. I confirm I will forego all other opportunities"
As a newbie I'm unsure whether this is run of the mill stuff or a little out of the ordinary? Any thoughts?
On a more general not, is there anything I should be wary about with respect to this?
As I am in the process of arranging interviews for other roles I'm a little worried that the "I confirm I will forego all other opportunities" clause would tie me into this role. Any thoughts?
