    Default Paying Another Company's Employee for an Action - Kickbacks and Bribery

    I am starting a website in which employers would post their open jobs to.

    Would it be illegal to pay another company's employee, say a recruiter or HR person, to post their company's job on my website? The job posting would be free, so I am getting no money from that company. It seems to me that this is a form of a kickback/commission except I have not seen an example like this (no payment received by me). Revenue would be generated based off the posted job from other entities, but not from the job poster's company.

    If this is still illegal, would adding a line like this in the terms make a difference?

    "You must be authorized to receive these payments on behalf of the company, or have received permission to receive these payments from from the proper company authority."

    Default Re: Paying Another Company's Employee for an Action - Bribery

    If you offer a company an incentive to post on your website, that's between you and the company.

    If you try to cut a secret deal with an employee of the company, whereby you give them a kickback to favor your company, I expect that the company would fire them if they detected what you and the employee were doing.
