The typical contract between a company and a headhunter is that the
headhunter's claim to a commission if someone they introduce is later
employed expires in six months. Thus, if it has been more than
six months since your recruiting experience, there is no problem.
I would not worry about it; contact Turner -- though if they didn't
hire you after all that interviewing maybe it is not worth the trouble.
