Third Party Restrictions

The intent of NREL's recruitment tool is to allow individuals to apply directly to our available opportunities. NREL absolutely will not accept candidate submissions by unsolicited third parties. Candidates presented by unsolicited third parties (e.g., recruiters, headhunters, etc.), will not be considered, nor will a contractual relationship be formed by the submission. NREL is not obligated and will not under any circumstances pay any fees to said third parties submitting candidates in this manner. NREL only forms contracts with recruiters with whom we have an established business relationship and with whom we have in place a signed agreement.
