I was one of the "Quick aside since I get asked this all the time."[1]

Being from Spain I'm 100% a lot of the companies here would try to cheat this, but he made some good points both in the tweet answers and article; it's better to pay early and low, than being caught very late and having to pay a huge amount (don't know how much better though).

If a company retires a job without paying, I'd def spend few minutes tracking possible candidates (those who clicked "Apply" and put their data, Linkedin/Twitter/etc, follow up emails to the candidates, as he said Amazon gift card, etc).

Some might still fall through the cracks, but seems like if they get enough % of them that's probably good enough.

Having also run a hiring company, I was worried about companies ghosting us after making a hire. Turns out the vast majority of customers don't balk at recruiting fees.

They see it two ways:

1) Easier to pay, than review the legal recourses of not paying

2) If they sourced one good candidate from your site, they may source another. So best not to get booted from the platform for delinquency.

It might be different for purely online deals. But for companies working with a local agency, it's definitely not worth the reputation risk.
