legal question with head-hunter, agony uncle pls help!

Question

I just found out this page, its really nice to have agony uncle in this forum to provide insights for our social encounters.

I am currently having some problems with my head-hunter. The whole story is I found a very nice job opening from web and approached R agent to present me to S company because S HR department only deals with head-hunters. I passed the interview and a day later the offer was confirmed by S. Things really get ugly when I received offer letter and contracts from R. I did not sign contracts with R because I am not happy with some terms, though R agent pushed me a few times. However, on the other side, R asked S to pay some amount which is beyond the regular contracts S signed with other agents. In such case, R did not get any agreements from both sides. Then R sent a email to me stating that though I can change agents to contact S again on this job, but R has the right to place legal actions with S, which means my opportunity to S was totally blocked out by R because R submitted my applications to S first.

Does R has the right to do so? What should I do to turnover the situation in favor of me to get the job in S? Pls do help me, agony uncle chung.

Reply From Agony UncleIt boils down to the terms and conditions in the agreement signed with R. In the absence of a contract things would be disadvantaged to you. Your case would depend on representations, if any made in e-mail correspondence. If there are no contracts, then there might be a cause of action against R but I would require more facts to advice further.
