Question: Charles Wohltmann of Executive Recruitment, an employee recruitment company, twice talked with a Boston Scientific Corp. sales representative who had no authority to accept offers for hiring employees. Later, Thomas Schmidt contacted a friend who worked for Boston Scientific and found out that the company had a job opening in Birmingham where he wanted to work. Schmidt applied and eventually was hired by Boston. Executive Recruitment then claimed it had an oral contract for recruiting with Boston and should be paid for Schmidt's hiring. Should it?
