Services” means the recruitment services to be supplied by the Company to the Client;

Contingency Assignment” means where the Client engages the services of the Company for the purposes of identifying and interviewing an individual(s) potentially suitable for a particular position of employment and the Company receives its entire fee only upon placement of a Candidate.

Retained Assignment” means where the Client engages the services of the Company on an exclusive basis for the purposes of identifying and interviewing an individual(s) potentially suitable for a particular position of employment and the fee to the Company for such services is divided into stage payments as detailed in Clause 6, in order to secure such exclusivity. Retained Assignments usually, but not always, involve the provision of a service/s over and above those provided for a contingency assignment.

Application of Conditions
  1. These conditions shall apply in respect of all Contracts between the Company and the Client. Unless otherwise accepted in writing by the Company no other conditions, terms or warranties are incorporated or implied into any Contract between the Company and the Client. All quotations, offers and tenders are made subject to the following conditions. In cases where the Client has specifically agreed terms with the Company, then to the extent that there is any conflict between those terms and these standard terms then those special terms will prevail over the standard terms provided always that the Request is confirmed in writing by the Company. The Client agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set out herein.

Supply of Services

  1. The Company agrees to supply the Services to the Client upon the terms and conditions set out herein and time for the performance of the Services shall not be of the essence.
  1. Any time or date for the performance of the Services shall be given as accurately as possible, but is not guaranteed. The Client shall have no right to cancel the Contract for failure to meet any completion time stated.
  1. Assignments are conducted on either a Retained or Contingency basis.

Fee

  1. The fee payable to the Company by the Client for the Services (“Fee”) shall be calculated as follows:

20% of Annual Basic Salary

“Annual Basic Salary” is the total gross basic salary to be paid to the Candidate during the first 12 months of employment with the Client.

  1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Fees are exclusive of VAT and are not subject to any discount.
  1. For Contingency Assignments the Fee shall be paid by the Client within 30 days of a Candidate commencing employment with the Client (the “Commencement Date”).
  1. In respect of Retained Assignments, the Fee shall be payable as follows;

9.1           one third upon acceptance by the Company of the Client’s Request;

Where the final Annual Remuneration is greater than the proposed salary at the commencement of the Retained Assignment, the final payment under this clause 9.3 shall be increased to ensure the total Fee paid is the correct    percentage of the final Annual Remuneration.

If the Client appoints more than one Candidate from an Assignment, the Fee for the second and subsequent Candidates will be as outlined above in clause 6.

For the avoidance of doubt, the sums payable under conditions 9.1 and 9.2 are non-refundable, irrespective of whether a Candidate is offered or accepts employment with the Client. Under condition 9.3 the Client will pay the final third of the Fee if another candidate has been introduced to the Client from a third party, or if an internal candidate is appointed by the Client (unless agreed differently at the beginning of the Assignment).

If the Assignment is terminated before presentation of the shortlist, two thirds of the Fee will be paid by the Client. If    the Assignment is terminated after the shortlist has been presented the whole of the Fee will be paid by the Client.

The Company will provide the Client with invoices for the Fees and expenses (see Clause 16) and the Client agrees to pay the invoices within 30 days of receipt.

11.1         charge interest at an annual rate of 8% above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time on any sums outstanding; and/or
