Terms and conditions

• MANAGEMENT SELECTION
  A fee calculated as a percentage of the selected candidate’s first year’s remuneration will be charged for Management Selection.
  Fees will be invoiced upon the formal acceptance of a position by the selected candidate.
• CANDIDATE REPRESENTATION
  Client’s who introduce candidates to third parties or offer alternative positions, will be responsible for the appropriate fee if such candidates engage for a period of 12 months following the introduction.
• GUARANTEES
  For Management selection, the guarantee period for a selected candidate is three months.  In the event of a candidate leaving a client’s employ within the guarantee period, and all other terms of the guarantee having been met, we accept full third part responsibility and as such will offer a replacement for the candidate at no further charge, other than agreed advertising costs and disbursements. It should be noted that this guarantee will only operate if all invoices are paid by the client by the due date and provided we are notified within 14 days of the candidates departure. Redundancy or major alterations to the original job specifications or a failure of visa applications against which the individual was employed will obviously nullify the guarantee.
