permanentpath

Acceptance
By interviewing a candidate introduced to you by Talentpath, you will accept our Terms and Conditions of Business.

Confidentiality
All information supplied by Talentpath whether verbal or written is confidential and should not be disclosed to any other party without the express written approval of Talentpath.

Introduction
All introductions of candidates are strictly confidential. Any offer of employment to the candidate presented by Talentpath either verbally or written within twelve (12) months of the date of introduction within the Client’s organisation, or any other affiliated or related company, including referrals to another employer, is subject to the full fee shown in the fee schedule.

Engagement
You must notify us immediately if/when an engagement with your organisation is accepted by a candidate who we have introduced to you. If the introduction is made indirectly, whether as an employee or in any other capacity, within twelve (12) months of the initial introduction, you must still agree to pay us the amount calculated in accordance with the fee schedule.

Suitability
Whilst we will make every reasonable effort to ensure the suitability of the candidates, we do not accept any liability for any loss, expense, damage or delay arising in connection with the candidate irrespective of how it may be caused. You will need to satisfy yourself that any medical requirement or other qualification has been met by the candidate. The final recruitment decision rests with you.

Fee for Service
The fee payable by you to Talentpath for the introduction of a candidate who subsequently accepts an engagement is calculated as a percentage of the candidate’s gross annual salary to be received during the first twelve (12) months. “Salary” includes all payments including base salary, superannuation, bonuses, commissions, site allowances, benefits in kind (including motor vehicle) and any other payment arising from the engagement. The fee is still payable if the candidate is engaged in a position other than the one originally intended. No charge whatsoever is made to the candidate. (GST will be charged wherever it applies).
A minimum charge rate of $4,000 plus GST applies to all placements.

Part time and Fixed Term Contracts
The recruitment process for part time positions or fixed term contracts is identical to that of a full time position, therefore the fee payable will be calculated according to the equivalent gross annual salary package based on full time employment.

Invoicing
Talentpath will raise invoices upon placement of the candidate or the supply of any additional services. Invoices are payable within seven (7) days of their date of issue.

Acceptance
Talentpath does not guarantee that a candidate is available to accept any engagement.

Replacement Guarantee
Talentpath offers a one-off replacement guarantee within three (3) months from the commencement of the successful candidate’s employment. If for any reason (other than redundancy/restructure or any change in the original job specification provided to Talentpath at the time of the appointment) the employee should resign or be terminated within the guarantee period.

If the replaced candidate is offered a higher “salary” than the original candidate, the difference will be invoiced in accordance with the fee schedule.

The guarantee applies only to the replacement of the original position placed and can only be used for appointment of a permanent employee by Talentpath. Talentpath contractors hired by you must be paid for in accordance with the Talentpath Contractors Terms and Conditions of Business.

If you or any other affiliated or related company re-engages the candidate within twelve (12) months of the date of termination, Talentpath will then charge a fee for the replacement candidate.

For your replacement guarantee to remain in force, your account must be paid within seven (7) days of the invoice date. Accounts not settled within this period remain due and payable and the replacement guarantee does not apply.
