Terms of Business and Conditions for the Placement of Executive Staff

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) will apply at all times and will form the contract (the “Contract”) between Humres Technical Recruitment (“Humres”) (acting as an Employment Agency) and (the “Client”)

INTERPRETATION

1. In these Terms, the following expressions shall be given the following meanings:

1.1 “Applicant” means a person introduced by Humres to the Client to be considered for an Engagement.

1.2 “Engagement” means the employment, hire or other use, directly or indirectly of the Applicant under a contract of service or contract for services on a permanent, temporary or other basis (communicated either orally or in writing), made immediately or at any time within a twelve-month period following the date of final interview, or initial introduction by CV, whichever is the later; and “Engage” and similar expressions shall be interpreted accordingly.

1.3 “Introduction” means when the availability of an Applicant is communicated by Humres to the Client (including and not limited to by post, facsimile, email or telephone or by any other means) whether directly or indirectly to the Client including but not limited to: the presentation via CV of an Applicant to the Client by Humres or interviewing an Applicant introduced by Humres by telephone or face to face whether or not that Applicant was known previously to the Client; and “Introduce” and similar expressions shall be interpreted accordingly.

1.4 If a Candidate that has been introduced to the Client by the Company is subsequently introduced to the Client by another recruitment agency, third party or via a direct approach by either the Candidate or Client and the Client employs the Candidate within twelve (12) months of the Introduction, the Client is liable to pay a fee in accordance with Clause 8. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no requirement for an Introduction of a Candidate/Applicant to be the effective cause of their Engagement and any implied term to that effect is hereby excluded.

1.5 The Client is required to keep a record of all Introductions made by the Agency and to reject any introductions of the same Candidate from other agencies and any direct approaches by the Candidate for a period of 12 months from the date of his/her Introduction by the Agency.

1.6 “Salary” is deemed to include the annual basic salary or wage or retainer paid plus any allowance or other payment made which forms part of taxable emoluments paid.

1.7 Headings do not affect the interpretation of this agreement.

1.8 A person includes a natural person, corporate or unincorporated body (whether or not having separate legal personality).

1.9 A reference to a company shall include any company, corporation or other body corporate, wherever and however incorporated.

1.10 Words in the singular include the plural and in the plural include the singular.

1.11 A reference to one gender includes a reference to the other gender.

1.12 A reference to writing or written includes faxes and emails.

1.13 A reference to a particular statute, statutory provision or subordinate legislation is a reference to it as it is in force from time to time, taking account of any amendment or re-enactment and includes any statute, statutory provision or subordinate legislation which it amends or re-enacts and subordinate legislation for the time being in force made under it.

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

2. These Terms shall apply to and be incorporated into the Contract and shall prevail over and supersede any inconsistent terms or conditions contained, or referred to, in the Client’s terms and conditions, or implied by law, trade custom, practice, or course of dealing.

3. The parties agree that these Terms will govern every Introduction by the Client, or an associated company of the Client, of every Applicant notified by Humres to the Client from time to time. These Terms may not be varied except in writing and must be signed by Humres and the Client prior to the Client interviewing an Applicant. Otherwise, any such variation will not be valid, and these Terms shall prevail.

4. No variation or alteration to these Terms shall be valid unless the details of such variation are agreed between Humres and the Client, are set out in writing, and a copy of the varied terms is given to the Client stating the date on or after which such varied terms shall apply.

6 OBLIGATIONS OF HUMRES

6.1 Humres does not warrant the suitability, skill, ability, or experience of the Applicant.

6.2 Humres cannot guarantee to find a suitable Applicant for the Client’s requirements.

7 OBLIGATIONS OF THE CLIENT

7.1 The Client will provide Humres with sufficient information in good time to enable Humres to find suitable Applicants, including but not limited to: the experience, qualifications, and abilities of the Applicant that the Client considers necessary and/or required by law, information regarding when and where work is to commence, and the remuneration payable.

7.2 The Client unconditionally consents to information about itself being provided to the Applicant.

7.3 The Client will notify Humres immediately if an offer to Engage an Applicant has been made or the Applicant has been Engaged by the Client (whichever occurs first). Details of such job offers, including remuneration, benefits, and whether a company vehicle is provided, must be put in writing to Humres prior to the Engagement of any successful Applicant.

7.4 The Client will immediately notify Humres if an Applicant is Introduced to the Client by another employment agency, and warrants and undertakes that it will not act on any information received from that agency. The Client shall appoint Humres as the sole agent to act on the Applicant’s behalf in relation to any Engagement of the said Applicant.

7.5 The Client is responsible for ensuring that references are taken up to satisfy itself that the Applicant has the necessary qualifications and skills to perform the required duties.

In such cases, the Fee will be recalculated and the Client will pay a revised fee in accordance with Condition 8.

7.8 The Client undertakes that if it directly or indirectly Introduces the Applicant to another entity, including but not limited to any associated company of the Client, the terms of Condition 8 shall apply.

7.9 The Client undertakes to notify Humres immediately if an Applicant leaves its employment but is later re-employed by the Client within six months from the date the Applicant left the Engagement.

7.10 In the event that the Client fails to comply with its obligations under this Condition 7 (Obligations of the Client), the terms of Conditions 9 and 10 will apply.

8 FEES

8. A fee calculated in accordance with this Clause (the “Fee”) will be payable by the Client to Humres in respect of the Engagement of an Applicant. The Fee shall be payable upon the Applicant accepting the offer of Engagement or commencing the Engagement, whichever occurs first.

8.1 The Fee payable will be calculated as a percentage of the Salary, in accordance with the scale below:

Salary Range (GBP) Fee Percentage
£0 – £19,999 15%
£20,000 – £29,999 17.5%
£30,000 – £39,999 20%
£40,000 – £74,999 25%
£75,000 – £99,999 30%
£100,000+ 35%

All placements are subject to a minimum Fee of £3,500.

If the Applicant is provided with a company vehicle, an additional £6,000 will be added to the salary package and the Fee will be calculated accordingly.

VAT will be payable on the above Fee at the prevailing rate at the time.

8.2 If the Salary paid to the Applicant is lower than the Applicant’s previous salary, Humres reserves the right to charge a Fee based on the Applicant’s previous salary.

8.3 If it is not possible to determine the Salary being paid, an automatic Fee will be charged based on the Applicant’s previous salary plus 25%. The Rebate under Condition 11 will not apply in such cases.

8.4 If a Client engages an individual currently employed by Humres Technical Recruitment, or who was employed within 6 months of their last working day, the Client will be charged a flat Fee of £10,000.00 plus VAT.

9. If the Client fails to fulfil its obligations under the Contract, especially under Condition 7:

9.1 Humres reserves the right to charge the Fee in full as per Condition 8, and no refunds will be given under Condition 11 (Rebate).

9.2 Any discounts or variations previously offered in relation to the Applicant’s Engagement will be null and void.

10. All Introductions are confidential. If the Client or its representatives refer the Applicant to a third party within 12 months of Introduction, Humres reserves the right to charge the Fee under Condition 8 as though the Client had directly engaged the Applicant.

11 SERVICE GUARANTEE –REBATES

11.4 A Rebate will not be payable unless Humres receives written notification from the Client within ten (10) calendar days of the Candidate leaving, specifying the date and reason for leaving. Humres maintains sole discretion to determine whether such notification is sufficient.

11.5 Payment of any Rebate is entirely at the discretion of Humres.

• Any third party to whom we may need to disclose personal information in order to comply with our legal, regulatory and statutory obligations. This may be as part of a legal process (for example, in response to a court order or a law enforcement agency’s request, or where they believe it’s necessary). This could be to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety, property or rights of any person. It could also include non-compliance with our website rules, or as otherwise permitted.

If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies. We don’t accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

Security and safe storage of your personal information

Once we’ve received your information, we’ll use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet isn’t completely secure. Although we endeavour to protect your personal data, we can’t guarantee the security of data transmitted over the internet. Any transmission of data is at your own risk.

Information supplied by you to us, or that we collect about you, may be transferred and stored by us or contractors for the purpose of providing services to you outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs we use the model clauses as issued by the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards where applicable. By submitting personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.

We may monitor the use and content of emails, calls and secure messages sent from and received by us so that we can identify and take legal action against unlawful or improper use of our systems. The main examples of unlawful or improper use are attempting to impersonate Humres, the transmission of computer viruses and attempts to prevent this website or its services from working.

Our Legal Basis for processing your Personal Data:

We will store and process your data due to one of the following two reasons; consent or legitimate interest.

Consent

You can give us your consent by choosing to opt-in through a tickbox when registering on our site, via an email conversation with one of our consultants or in another way of your choosing.

We will keep a record of your consent and you may opt-out at any point.

Legitimate interest

If we have an existing relationship with you (for instance, if you registered with Humres, applied for a role advertised by Humres, were sent on an interview or placed in a role by Humres or recently discussed employment opportunities with Humres) then we would have a legitimate interest to store your details for future purposes, such as finding you a new position, carrying out contractual obligations or keeping in contact with you via targeted and relevant marketing.

We also believe that it is reasonable to assume that any candidate that is looking for employment and has recently uploaded or updated their CV information on a job board would be happy for us to process their data in order to contact them about positions that are relevant to their experiences.

We will keep a record of consent and you may opt-out at any point.

How can you access, correct your information and withdraw consent?

You’re able to correct the information we hold about you as follows:

You may make a request to access your personally identifiable information that’s held by us and maintained in our database. To do this you need to email your request to privacy@humres.co.uk

From 25 May 2018, depending on the circumstances, you may also have the right to:

• Request erasure of personal information we hold about you

• Request restriction of processing of such information

• Object to the processing of such information

• Request a copy of such information in a portable format

If you have concerns about the way we handle your personal data, you can contact the ICO or raise a complaint.

COOKIES POLICY

What’s a cookie?

A “cookie” is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive and which records your navigation of a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system. If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be altered within your browser settings.

How do we use cookies?

We use cookies to do two things:

to track your use of our website. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns that emerge individually or from larger groups. This helps us to develop and improve our website and services in response to what our visitors want and need; and to help us advertise jobs to you that we think you’ll be interested in.

Cookies are either:

Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any information from your computer; or

 

Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics and for personalisation (see below).

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when applying for a job, and therefore cannot be turned off. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most popular.

Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.

Personalisation cookies: These cookies help us to advertise details of potential job opportunities that we think may be of interest. These cookies are persistent (for as long as you are registered with us) and mean that when you log in or return to the website, you may see advertising for jobs that are similar to jobs that you have previously browsed.

  • any third party to whom we may need to disclose personal information in order to comply with our legal, regulatory and statutory obligations. This may be as part of a legal process, (for example, in response to a court order or in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or where they believe it’s necessary). This could be to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety, property or rights of any person. It could also include non-compliance with our website rules, or as otherwise permitted
  • any third party where you’ve given your consent

Please be assured that when we outsource any processes we ensure that any supplier or contractor has adequate security measures in place. We’ll also require them to comply with privacy principles as part of our contract with them.

Other third party websites

Our website may, from time to time, contain links to and from third-party websites, including those of our partner networks and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies. We don’t accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

Security and safe storage of your personal information

Once we’ve received your information, we’ll use appropriate procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet isn’t completely secure. Although we endeavour to protect your personal data, we can’t guarantee the security of data transmitted over the internet. Any transmission of data is at your own risk.

Information supplied by you to us, or that we collect about you, may be transferred and stored by us or contractors for the purpose of providing services to you outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs we use the model clauses as issued by the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards where applicable. By submitting personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.

We may monitor the use and content of emails, calls and secure messages sent from and received by us so that we can identify and take legal action against unlawful or improper use of our systems. The main examples of unlawful or improper use are attempting to impersonate Hmures, the transmission of computer viruses and attempts to prevent this website or its services from working.

Our Legal Basis for processing your Personal Data:

We will store and process your data due to one of the following two reasons; consent or legitimate interest.

Consent

You can give us your consent by choosing to opt-in through a tickbox when registering on our site, via an email conversation with one of our consultants or in another way of your choosing.

We will keep a record of your consent and you may opt-out at any point.

Legitimate interest

If we have an existing relationship with you (for instance, if you registered with Hmures, applied for a role advertised by Hmures, were sent on an interview or placed in a role by Hmures or recently discussed employment opportunities with Hmures) then we would have a legitimate interest to store your details for future purposes, such as finding you a new position, carrying out contractual obligations or keeping in contact with you via targeted and relevant marketing.

We also believe that it is reasonable to assume that any candidate that is looking for employment and has recently uploaded or updated their CV information on a job board would be happy for us to process their data in order to contact them about positions that are relevant to their experiences.

We will keep a record of consent and you may opt-out at any point.

How can you access, correct your information and withdraw consent?

You’re able to correct the information we hold about you as follows:

  • You may make a request to access your personally identifiable information that’s held by us and maintained in our database. To do this you need to email your request to jobs@Hmures.io
  • From 25 May 2018, depending on the circumstances, you may also have the right to:
  • Request erasure of personal information we hold about you
  • Request restriction of processing of such information
  • Object to the processing of such information
  • Request a copy of such information in a portable format

If you have concerns about the way we handle your personal data, you can contact the ICO or raise a complaint.

COOKIES POLICY

What’s a cookie?

A “cookie” is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive and which records your navigation of a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system. If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be altered within your browser settings.

How do we use cookies?

We use cookies to do two things:

  • to track your use of our website. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns that emerge individually or from larger groups. This helps us to develop and improve our website and services in response to what our visitors want and need; and
  • to help us advertise jobs to you that we think you’ll be interested in.

Cookies are either:

  • Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any information from your computer; or
  • Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics and for personalisation (see below).

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when applying for a job, and therefore cannot be turned off. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
  • Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most popular.
  • Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.
  • Personalisation cookies: These cookies help us to advertise details of potential job opportunities that we think may be of interest. These cookies are persistent (for as long as you are registered with us) and mean that when you log in or return to the website, you may see advertising for jobs that are similar to jobs that you have previously browsed.
