CareerUSA Recruiting Services Terms

The Client appoints the Recruiter to provide recruitment and placement services for the position identified in the applicable search brief (the “Services”).

The Recruiter accepts the appointment and agrees to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

In consideration of the Services performed by the Recruiter, the Client shall pay:

1. a one-time Search Activation Fee of US$500 per role to commence the search process; and
2. a placement fee equal to 20% of the candidate’s annual gross salary, payable on the candidate’s joining date.

The Search Activation Fee is non-refundable and separate from the placement fee.

The Search Activation Fee is due when the Client activates the search.

The placement fee is due upon receipt of the applicable invoice.

A “placement” occurs when the Client makes an offer of employment to a candidate introduced by the Recruiter, the candidate accepts that offer, and the candidate commences employment.

The placement fee will also be payable if any candidate introduced by the Recruiter is employed by the Client within twelve (12) months of the candidate’s initial introduction, regardless of the position ultimately offered.

The Client must notify the Recruiter immediately upon offering employment to any candidate introduced by the Recruiter.

The Client must provide the Recruiter with full details of the compensation package offered to the candidate.

The Client agrees to provide full and timely cooperation throughout the search. This includes providing, where applicable:

• information about the ideal candidate
• a complete job description
• compensation details
• relevant employee benefits
• interview availability
• timely candidate feedback
• other information reasonably required to conduct the search

If the Client becomes unresponsive for more than one (1) week during the search, the Recruiter reserves the right to pause the search process and request a new Search Activation Fee before resuming the assignment.

Timely communication is required to maintain an effective recruitment process.

This Agreement becomes effective when an authorized representative of the Client electronically accepts these Terms and submits the applicable Search Activation Fee.

The acceptance timestamp recorded by CareerUSA and the associated payment record may be retained as evidence of acceptance.

CareerUSA may provide the following services as part of the recruitment assignment:

1. onboarding or briefing call with the Client
2. candidate sourcing through the Recruiter’s talent network and search methods
3. candidate screening based on the Client’s requirements
4. interviews and assessments
5. presentation of selected candidates for Client review
6. coordination of Client interviews
7. post-hire support

The exact search strategy and activities may vary depending on the position and assignment.

The Services provided under this Agreement are valid for thirty (30) days per job, beginning on the date the search is activated.

If additional time or a materially revised search is required, CareerUSA and the Client may agree on the appropriate next steps.

If a candidate placed by CareerUSA resigns or is terminated from employment within twelve (12) months of the candidate’s start date, CareerUSA will endeavor to replace the employee free of an additional placement fee, provided that:

1. the original invoice was paid by the applicable due date;
2. the Client notifies CareerUSA within seven (7) days of the candidate’s employment ending; and
3. the replacement search is for the same role and substantially the same requirements as the original assignment.

The replacement guarantee applies once per position only.

The guarantee is a replacement search and is not a cash refund.

CareerUSA will respect the confidentiality of information provided by the Client.

The Client acknowledges that candidate confidentiality is also of key importance. The Client agrees to keep candidate information confidential and not disclose candidate information to third parties except where reasonably necessary for the Client’s internal hiring process or with appropriate authorization.

Candidate information must be handled responsibly and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, CareerUSA shall not be held liable for any misrepresentation, misstatement, loss, damage, costs or expenses incurred by the Client in connection with the introduction, consideration or employment of a candidate.

CareerUSA provides recruitment and candidate-evaluation services but does not guarantee a candidate’s future performance.

Both parties shall perform their respective obligations under this Agreement in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and statutes, including those relating to employment, privacy and data protection.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Delaware, United States of America.

These Terms, together with the applicable search brief and any expressly agreed written commercial terms, constitute the agreement between CareerUSA and the Client relating to the applicable recruitment assignment and supersede prior communications relating to the same subject matter.

Any amendment to these Terms must be agreed in writing by an authorized representative of CareerUSA.

The Client agrees that this Agreement may be entered into electronically.
