TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- An Agency may only submit to adserve a CV on an unsolicited basis for a Candidate, provided the CV meets all of the following requirements: (i) the Candidate fits all the requirements of the advertised Position, including expected salary and broad experience. If the salary band for the Position is not stated in the Position specifications the Agency shall contact adserve to ascertain the salary band prior to submitting a CV; and (ii) the name of the Candidate and names of previous employer(s) are disclosed. A CV which complies with (i) and (ii) shall be considered an “In-Scope CV”. Any CV received which is not an In-Scope CV shall be considered an “Out-of-Scope CV”.
- Any Out-of-Scope CV received will immediately be rejected by adserve (with no obligation on adserve to notify such rejection to the submitting Agency) and no fee shall be payable by adserve to the Agency in respect of any such CV.
- It is acknowledged by adserve that certain Candidates may be represented by multiple Agencies on a non-exclusive basis. In this scenario adserve shall enter into a business relationship with the first Agency which submits to adserve an In-Scope CV for such Candidate (the “First Agency”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the First Agency submits to adserve an Out-of-Scope CV for a Candidate, and subsequently Adserve receives from a different Agency (the “Second Agency”) an In-Scope CV in respect of the same Candidate, and such Candidate is hired with the assistance of the Second Agency, the First Agency shall not be entitled to any fee whatsoever.
- At the same time the Agency submits a CV to adserve, the Agency shall notify to adserve in writing whether or not the Candidate it is representing is represented on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis.
- For the avoidance of doubt, no Agency shall be considered to have performed any services to adserve (whether the terminology for such services shall be an “introduction” or not) for which the Agency is entitled to be paid fees unless all of the following elements have occurred: (i) the Agency has submitted to adserve an In-Scope CV; (ii) the Agency has been requested to proceed by a member of the adserve recruitment team (iii) the Agency has facilitated or assisted in the interviewing of the Candidate by adserve; (iv) the Agency has provided to adserve any references and any other information requested by adserve; and (v) adserve has hired the Candidate.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, adserve will pay a maximum recruitment fee for any Candidates referred by Agency equivalent to 20% of the first year salary (excluding benefits) for each candidate placed. Payment to the Agency will be within 30 days of the start date for each Candidate.
