Terms of Business
Since I started my company, I have always worked hard to make sure clients receive value for money and because of the 100% success rate, unlike other agencies there is no upfront fee charged.
Full terms of Business will be sent to explain in detail that on successful placement a deposit is paid once the staff start their new jobs to give the freedom of 12 weeks probation. Only when a placement is confirmed after the 12 week probation is the invoice sent for a fee – there is no charge of VAT.
The fee is 14% of the annual gross salary for permanent placements.
In the unlikely event the placement does not result in an offer that is accepted there is no further fee charged.
