Unsolicited resumes or submissions from external agencies not authorized by our Talent Acquisition team will be considered direct candidate applications. As such, Performance Trust will not assume responsibility for any placement fees associated with these submissions. Outreach to individual employees outside this process will result in permanent removal from consideration for any future approved vendor relationship.
