Agreement of participle reflexive verbs

vous nous avez été recommandés

I am not clear why recommandé has an "s" on the end. As I understand it the "vous" refers to the lady salesperson or her shop (singular) and the nous, although plural, is an indirect object so the participle does not need to agree with that.
