# Recruiting Compliance: Contracting, Licensing & Appointment Requirements

## TL;DR

Enforce compliance gates: NIPR before contracting, appointments before selling, training before CRM access.

## Key data points

- Production before appointment confirmation results in commission clawbacks

Pre-contracting: verify licenses via NIPR, confirm E&O, complete background checks.

Contracting: independent contractor agreement, compensation schedule, technology agreements.

Carrier appointments: batch requests, track status, do NOT allow selling before appointments clear.

Common mistakes: allowing production before appointments (clawback risk), skipping background checks, not verifying all selling-state licenses.

Automate compliance gates in CRM: lock quoting tools until NIPR passes, lock carriers until appointments confirm, require training before client data access.
