6. Guarantee

If an appointment - which is expected to last more than 3 months - is terminated within this period for any reason other than:

  • - Transfer of the candidate to an associated organisation

  • - Misrepresentation by The Client

Then The Company will, at the request of the client, seek a replacement candidate.

Candidate terminated in the third calendar month 25% of placement fee
