REGISTRATION
In order to use the Marketplace Services, the Employer and the Recruiter must register with Us. We may accept or reject each application to register at our discretion, and may cancel such registration at any time if the Employer or Recruiter is in breach of these Terms.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE EMPLOYER
The Employer agrees to notify Us immediately when an offer of employment has been accepted by a Candidate in order for Us to raise the correct invoice for the Placement Fee.
The Employer shall satisfy itself as to the suitability of any Candidate for the purposes of the Vacancy for which the Candidate has been introduced. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, it is acknowledged by the Employer that it is for the Employer to take up references, to check the truthfulness of a Candidate's application, to check the validity of qualifications and, where the Engagement requires, to ensure that the Candidate is capable of operating any equipment and/or machinery to the necessary level. The Employer shall be responsible for obtaining any work and other permits and for ensuring that the Candidate satisfies any medical requirements or other qualifications that may be appropriate or required by law.
The Employer shall use their best endeavors to keep confidential any confidential information of any Candidate (including without limitation any CV or other information provided in support of an application for a Vacancy) that is provided to the Employer in connection with the Marketplace Services.
The Employer undertakes that (a) where any Candidate introduced by a Recruiter to the Employer via the Marketplace is initially rejected but is later employed by the Employer within the period of six months of the initial introduction, the Employer shall be responsible for the Placement Fee as if such rejection had not occurred;
(b) in the event of the Employer effectively introducing (directly or indirectly) any Candidate to another person, firm or corporation, including any subsidiary, associated or holding company of the Employer, resulting in an Engagement by that person, firm or corporation (of which fact the Employer shall immediately notify Us) the Employer shall be responsible for the Service Fee and the Recruiter Fee as if the Candidate had been introduced to such third party via the Marketplace, unless such Engagement occurs more than six months after the initial introduction of the Candidate to the Employer.
The Employer consents to the disclosure by Us to Recruiters and Candidates of information relating to the Employer which the Employer has provided to Us.
In the event of non-payment by the Employer of the Placement Fee, the Employer hereby agrees that We shall be permitted to assign to the Recruiter the debt relating to such non-payment and the ensuing right of action.
In the event that the Employer has previously received the CV of a Candidate who it subsequently decides to employ or engage from a source other than a specific Recruiter, the Employer is solely responsible for providing the proper evidence that the new engagement was not the result of the Recruiter's submission, but rather of having received the CV previously. In the event of such a dispute We will investigate and based upon the available evidence make a determination on the source of the Candidate referral that led to the engagement, and therefore whether a Placement Fee shall be charged. Our decision on this matter shall be final and binding.
The Employer shall inform Recruiting Hub should a Recruiter contact it directly, offline or online, in an attempt to work around, avoid, circumvent or otherwise exploit the Marketplace Services or Our Site with the intent or effect of undercutting our Marketplace Services, or depriving Us of due compensation of the Placement Fee.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE RECRUITER
The Recruiter warrants that they are a professionally trained recruiter, are suitable to act as an Employment Agency and agree that they shall at all times comply with Regulations of Employment Agencies Act 2007.
When engaged with an Employer on the Marketplace, the Recruiter shall not use the Employer's company name or brand publicly when advertising the Employer's vacancy and searching for Candidates.
The Recruiter will use reasonable endeavors to introduce to Employers via the Marketplace suitable Candidates who meet the specification set out by the Employer in the Vacancy. The Recruiter agrees to make every reasonable effort to properly screen Candidates which they submit to Vacancies, and obtain confirmation from the Candidate that they are willing to work in the position in question before submitting the Candidate's CV.
All CV submissions for Vacancies must be sent through Our Site. Any actions that circumvent or attempt to circumvent Our Site and the Marketplace Services by submitting CVs in any other way will lead to account termination. In the event of such termination, we shall be under no obligation to pay any Placement Fees received from Employers in respect of Candidates submitted by the Recruiter.
The Recruiter agrees to not directly or indirectly work around, avoid, circumvent or otherwise exploit the Marketplace Services or Our Site with the intent or effect of depriving Us of due compensation, Handling Fees or Placement Fees.
The Recruiter agrees that they shall not approach directly any Employers to whom they have been introduced to by Recruiting Hub, engaged with on the Marketplace, or submitted any Candidate CVs or information to, for a period of 12 months after the introduction, engagement, submission of such a Candidate by Recruiting Hub, save for communications via Our Site or offline if regarding details on the posted Vacancy for which we have made the introduction. If a Recruiter is found to have contacted an Employer directly to work around, avoid, circumvent or otherwise exploit the Marketplace Services or Our Site with the intent or effect of undercutting our Marketplace Services, or depriving Us of due compensation, Handling Fees or Placement Fees, the Recruiter's account will be terminated immediately, and the Recruiter will be liable to pay Recruiting Hub within 30 days of receipt of invoice Rs.1,00,000 plus GST per direct Placement it has made with the Employer within a 12 month period.
Recruiters are not permitted to register as an Employer in order to post Vacancies on Our Site.
Candidates are represented by the first Recruiter to submit the Candidate in question to the Employer through Our Site. This clause shall not apply in the instance that the Recruiter who submits the Candidate first, has not gained permission from the Candidate to submit their details for the Vacancy.
If a Recruiter submits a Candidate for a Vacancy and the Candidate is employed by the Employer, the Recruiter may not be eligible for the Placement Fee in the event that the Employer has previously received that Candidate's CV, or was aware of the Candidate through another source. The Employer is solely responsible for providing the proper evidence that the new engagement was not the result of the Recruiter's submission, but rather of having received the CV previously. In the event of such a dispute Recruiting Hub will investigate and based upon the available evidence make a determination on the source of the Candidate referral that led to the engagement, and therefore whether a Placement Fee shall be charged. Our decision on this matter shall be final.
Provided that the Employer is not already aware of the Candidate, and can provide evidence of this, the Recruiter shall be deemed to have ownership of a Candidate for the duration of the Fee Period (six months from the date that the Recruiter first submitted the Candidate). Should the Candidate be employed or engaged by the Employer during the Fee Period we shall invoice the Employer for the same Placement Fee set by the Employer when the Vacancy was originally posted on the Marketplace. The Recruiter shall promptly provide us with accurate information regarding the Start Date of the successful Candidate.
THE PLACEMENT FEE
Where a Candidate is submitted via the Marketplace and is successfully appointed in a posted Vacancy, or within any other role within the Employer's organisation (including any organisation within the Employer's group), We will invoice the Employer on behalf of the Agency on confirmation of the Candidate accepting an offer of employment or Engagement from the Employer, for the Placement Fee.
The Placement Fee is payable within 30 days. If the Candidate in question does not commence the Engagement, the Placement Fee shall not be payable and, if it has been paid, will be refunded in full, and a credit note will be issued by Recruiting Hub.
The Employer will be liable for the Placement Fee in respect of a Candidate, where within 6 months of the Candidate being introduced to the Employer if:
- The Employer employs that Candidate on a permanent or temporary basis; or
- The Employer initially rejects the Candidate, but subsequently employs the Candidate or engages with the Candidate in any capacity; or
- The Employer refers the Candidate to a third party, including another company or business in the Employer's group of companies, and that third party employs or engages with the Candidate.
The Placement Fee excludes GST and other duties or taxes, which will be payable by the Employer in addition to the Placement Fee at the rate in force.
We shall be entitled to deduct from any payments due to the Recruiter any amounts to account for any damages, losses or costs incurred by Us arising as a result of the Recruiter's breach of this Agreement or its negligent acts or omissions.
If any amount payable under these Terms is not paid in full and on time, interest will be payable on such amount in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (as amended) from the date of invoice up to and including the date of payment.
REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE
The Replacement Period shall run from the Candidate Start Date. The length of the Replacement Period shall be 30 days or whatever is agreed in Principle with the Employer,, set out in the table below. In the event that a Candidate terminates employment, or the Employer lawfully terminates the employment within the Replacement Period, the Employer shall be entitled to the Replacement provided that:
- Unless specifically agreed in writing, The Placement Fee has been paid by the Employer to Us within 30 days from date of invoice;
- The termination is not as a result of redundancy, corporate restructuring, pregnancy, injury or ill health, or by reason of the Candidate's age, race, gender, sexual orientation or disability;

- The Employer serves a 7-day notice to Us by e-mailing us at info@recruitinghub.com or their Recruiting Hub account manager.
In these circumstances, the Employer shall receive:

|---|
| Free Replacement |
The Rebate shall be repayable to Us in full where the Employer, any subsidiary, associated or holding company of the Employer subsequently re- engages the Candidate in any capacity within a period of 6 months.
If the Employer fails to pay the Placement Fee within 30 days of the date of Our invoice, the Employer will lose the benefit of these rebate provisions and no Rebate shall be payable.
THE PLACEMENT FEE
Upon successful Placement, We shall invoice the Employer on behalf of the Agency for the Placement Fee it specified when posting its Vacancy. The Placement Fee will be held in Our Client TrustBank Account for the duration of the Candidate's Replacement Period.
The monies will be released to the successful Recruiter in line with the aforementioned replacement schedule, on or around the 61st and 91st day, respectively (providing the Candidate in question has not ceased employment with the Employer in line with the aforementioned Rebate terms).
