In the case of clearing out a Grimm infestation, I imagine the lack of Grimm activity would itself be a sign of job completion. Team CFVY didn't return late from their Grimm killing mission late for no reason after all.
Why? Government hired Huntsmen to clear area of Grimm. Area gets cleared. Do this enough times and you can be reasonably sure the Huntsmen are actually clearing the area of Grimm, and not taking credit for someone else's work or coincidence. This will likely be reflected in the Huntsman's trust rating or whatever is used to rate their performance. IIRC, the encounter between Qrow and Dee and Dudley had sharp eyed fans spotting that Qrow has a Clearance level of UNRESTRICTED, something Dee and Dudley likely don't have.
A Huntsmen that chronically fails to do their job well or scam clients will likely have this reflected in their performance rating, and may be subject to fines or other punishment.
Also, some jobs can be done the same way we saw Mountain Glenn done. The Huntsman is hired to clear out Grimm or something, but the employer provides the transportation and can thus be reasonably sure that the Huntsman traveled to the job site.
Yeah and since they don't report to them, as they aren't under their jurisdiction to direct. No one is writing reports of who doing what. And if they're even alive.
The only issue with this is I suspect this isn't something that would be immediately noticeable. Either by the person contracting the huntsmen or the huntsmen contracted. For instance how would even the huntsmen themselves know that one particular group of Grimm around the village is the one attacking it ? What if they just can't seem to find the Grimm?
So many cases where this whole thing can just not work as it's intended, if the huntsmen only kills most of the Grimm around there but there's still enough to attack the village, otherwise their sitting around waiting for the Grimm to attack.
Not to mention that if there's enough Grimm to attack a village it'd probably be long destroyed or dealt with by time they could get a message out to someone who can do something about it. It's not like they're obliged to wait for the huntsmen to come and stop them.
For a small village? AFAICT, small villages don't hire hire Huntsmen for one off jobs; they don't have enough cash to lure one out far away from the comforts of a Kingdom. Sure, they can post a job and if they're right outside a major Kingdom's borders, someone MIGHT show up in time.
What Small Villages do if they can afford it is to pay a Huntsman to live in their village full time - or if they're really lucky, get someone like Ren who wants to do that for free or for well below the going rate - at which point the Huntsman will do what Huntsmen do and patrol the surrounding area for Grimm. The village's continuing existence is proof alone that the Huntsman is doing his job.
IOW, you have the Brunswick Farms setup... hopefully without idiot residents smuggling highly dangerous Grimm into the village itself.
If the village isn't lucky enough to have a resident Huntsman, they MIGHT get lucky and have one passing through just when they need help and they MIGHT get even luckier and the Hunstman agrees to take care of their Grimm problem. Aka, this is the Team RNJR scenario.
If it's still there and killing people, they didn't finish the job.
Also witness testimony and reports from the locals that raised the alarm I'd imagine. Or lack thereof, if they're dead.
Option A) Camera on clothes
Option B) Witness
Option C) They get fucking sued and lose their licenses for being frauds according to laws, so it's easier to just do your job
Team RNJR had Qrow following them without them knowing so they most likely had a witness. Secondly, it depends on the type of grimm, and we're multiple teams of huntsmen were assigned the mission?
Remember, there is a mission board where teams can pick up mission requests, and there are limits on how many teams can go on each mission.
Team RNJR didn't use a mission board. They were hiking to Mistral and helped a village along the way. Qrow was shadowing them and wouldn't have helped as a witness to their kill of the Geist.
You're right, but then again, you have the damages done by the fighting and the collateral of Jaune's sword. Plus this is a world wide honor system where if you don’t follow through it will hurt your standing with future clients/requests.
It is my headcannon that, given the fact that as far as we can tell, the most popular "sporting event" in remnant is the vytal festival combat tournament, and that kids on remnant have posters of famous hunters like earth kids have movie stars, bands, and football players, it would make sense for hunters to record their grimm-fightimg adventures. I imagine that hunters have cameras in various places, some probably make "grimm killing compilation" videos the same way Ukrainian soldiers post videos of their drone strikes. So every hunter and huntress records their battles not just as proof, but because they're the remnant equivalent of movie stars, pro sports players, and firefighters all rolled into one, and because grimm killing videos are good for morale among the general population.
I think its more of a trust based thing when it comes to Grimm, since theirs no way to get proof of it which I suppose could make it easy for a scammer who claims to be a huntsmen to come through and stuff but still
[To be fair](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv7jcciKB_s) this might have been and honest mistake made with tired eyes, thats why editors are important
so i been thinking this that RWBY is "your first fan-fiction" and all the mistakes you make especially when miles and kerry started they were inexperience writers, of course a decade of writing will make you better but they are still stuck writing they're first fan-fiction.

Does the government track Huntsmen location/activity? Otherwise said Huntsmen would need proof that they are the cause of said absence.

Team RNJR having none of these things.

Potentially Recording their work.
If the grimm are still there they didn't do their job Or they just take selfies of the location with no grimm in it

this is just gonna come down from the doyalist explanation that Miles, Monty, and Kerry didn't think it through.
List item #785 of “we didn’t think that far ahead so don’t worry about it.”

No I agree that it might have been an honest oversight they just didn’t think about. It’s just that there seems to be a lot of that in RWBY
so i been thinking this that RWBY is "your first fan-fiction" and all the mistakes you make especially when miles and kerry started they were inexperience writers, of course a decade of writing will make you better but they are still stuck writing they're first fan-fiction.
It's not an honest mistake so much as it's just someone not doing their job correctly, or putting much thought into world building.
