–           If you submit a proposal for candidates in exchange for certain fees (whether specified by the Employer or You), you are bound to take the work on the specific fee indicated. The fee cannot be renegotiated. Please note that the fees provided under a Proposal may be re-negotiated with an Employer upon mutual consent of both the Recruiter and the Employer.

–           If an Employer accepts an application made by you, you may not withdraw your services without the express written consent of both the Employer and us.

–           If, for reasons out of your control, a Candidate does not progress with an Employer’s position, You are eligible to submit a matching Candidate, which shall be at the Employer’s discretion whether the Employer should accept the matching candidate.

–           You may send the Candidates’ CVs to the Employer before releasing to the candidate who the employer is, provided that you have obtained permission from such Candidates to send their CV to Employers. Please read our Privacy Policy with regards to the disclosure and collection of all appropriate information.

–           By applying to submit a candidate to an Employer or send a Proposal to an Employer, you represent and warrant that the information that has and will be provided about the Candidate’s experience, expertise and employment history is truthful, accurate and not misleading. You also represent and warrant to provide truthful, accurate and not misleading information about candidates, including candidate summaries and resumes.

EMPLOYERS

–           When you post a Position Description and Recruiters have applied, you may select one or multiple Recruiters who will provide candidates for the position you posted. If you accept a Recruiter to work on finding you candidates for a position, you accept the Recruitment Fee to be charged by that Recruiter.

–           During the application process, you may choose which Recruiter, if any, you wish to accept. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not obligated to accept any applications to work on a position from a Recruiter. You are not bound by us to select a certain Recruiter. A Recruiter’s ability to submit candidates and otherwise engage with you may be terminated at any time for any reason, upon provision of notice to you. However, this does not derogate you from your obligation to pay the Recruitment Fee on employing a Recruiter’s candidate.

–           Proposals submitted by a Recruiter to you through the application process are not binding until you accept a Recruiter application. Such application is only binding to the extent that you pay the Recruitment Fee when you employ a candidate submitted by a Recruiter. You must pay the Recruitment Fee for each candidate employed.

–           By accepting a Recruiter to work on a position, you agree that you will accept any Candidates submitted by that Recruiter and that you will remain associated with that Candidate for six-months from the date that the Candidate’s CV is uploaded to the Website or presented to you via the Website. If a Recruiter’s Candidate is employed by you within the six-month period, you are liable to pay the fee agreed with the Recruiter. Both you and the Recruiter must inform Giig of the establishment of the work, or you may reject the bid.

–           If a candidate submitted by a Recruiter has been in contact with you, or applied directly to you for employment in relation for the position posted in Giig or a different employment opportunity 6 months before the day the job was posted on Giig, you are required to contact Giig within 5 working days to inform us of the situation, and provide evidence of such contact with the Candidate.

–           Giig does not provide the employment agreement or any other sort of agreement that the Employer should have in place to for the candidate’s recruitment. The Employer hereby agrees that he shall seek independent legal advice for the acquiring and have in place such agreements for the successful recruitment of a candidate. Under no circumstances the Employer should regard these Terms and Conditions or any part of these Terms and Conditions as an agreement or part of an agreement with a candidate for either a Permanent Hire, Fixed-Term Hire or Contract Hire.

Contracts Between Users

When the Employer accepts a Proposal by a Recruiter, the Employer and Recruiter will be deemed to have entered into a contract between themselves under which the Employer agrees to pay the fee agreed with the Recruiter.  You agree not to enter into any contractual provisions which is in conflict, or which may be in conflict, with the User Contract.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you comply with your obligations to other Users. If you do not, you may become liable to that User. You must ensure that you are aware of any domestic laws (including common law), international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations relevant to you as an Employer or Recruiter, or in any other way that you make of use of the Website.

Though we will do our best to assist you in a potential dispute, whether you are a Recruiter or an Employer, we will not hold responsibility for any issue arising between users. You are solely responsible to take action or enforce any of your rights If another User breaches any obligation to you.

Employers and Recruiters may have rights under statutory warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to override a right that by applicable law may not be excluded.

Each User acknowledges and agrees that their relationship is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between Users.

Users hereby agree to the following:

(a)      An Employer is not obligated to employ any candidate submitted by a Recruiter and may reject any or all candidates submitted by any or all Recruiters.

(b)      An Employer must not reject/ignore a candidate introduction and then subsequently hire that candidate to fill the same or a similar Position Description using a different service, website or company. If an Employer subsequently hires a candidate introduced to them via Giig within six-months of the candidate introduction, the Employer will be liable to pay the Recruitment Fee plus any other costs incurred by us in recovering the Recruitment Fee.

Unless you have highlighted that a candidate introduced by a Recruiter has been in contact with you, or applied directly to you for employment in relation for the position posted in Giig or a different employment opportunity 6 months before the day the job was posted on Giig.

You are required to contact Giig within 5 working days of the candidate introduction to inform us of the situation, and provide evidence of such contact with the Candidate.

(c)     If an Employer has posted a position on the Website, Recruiters must not seek to, or actually, provide services relating to that Position Description to the Employer outside of the Service or otherwise attempt to circumvent the Service.

User Contract

Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by both Users this default User Contract and its terms and conditions shall be agreed with the Users when the Recruiter agrees to provide to the Employer the Recruiter’s Services using Giig. Users agree that the terms concerning the User Contract described on Giig, including all Recruitment Fee, rates, hours, and milestones, form part of this User Contract.  Users agree to obtain the consent of the other before making changes to the User Contract by adding additional or different milestones or making other changes to the Services to be provided or make another Agreement for the provision of the Recruiter Services.  If consent of the other party is not first obtained, the other party may reject such changes by terminating the User Contract or accept such changes by continuing to work on the terms and conditions of the User Contract.

The Recruiter shall use reasonable endeavours to introduce one or more suitable Candidates to meet the requirements of the Employer for any particular Position Description that the Employer posts of Giig. The Recruiter cannot guarantee to find a suitable Candidate for each Position Description. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Recruiter shall use reasonable endeavours to ascertain that the information provided to the Employer in respect of the Candidate is to the Recruiter’s best knowledge, true and accurate.

The Recruiter shall not be responsible nor liable in respect of matters outside its knowledge and the Employer must satisfy itself as to the suitability of the Candidate.

The Employer shall satisfy itself as to the suitability of the Candidate. The Employer is responsible for obtaining work permits and/or such other permission to work as may be required, for the arrangement of medical examinations and/or investigations into the medical history of any Candidate, and satisfying other requirements, qualifications or permission required by law of the country in which the Candidate is engaged to work.

To enable the Recruiter to comply with its obligations contained herein, the Employer undertakes to provide to the Recruiter via the Position Description details of the position which the Employer seeks to fill, including the type of work that the Candidate would be required to do; the location and hours of work; the experience, training, qualifications and any authorisation which the Employer considers necessary or which are required by law or any professional body for the Candidate to possess in order to work in the position; and any risks to health or safety known to the Employer and what steps the Employer has taken to prevent or control such risks. The Employer shall further inform the Recruiter of any information it has that suggests it would be detrimental to the interests of either the Employer or the Candidate for the Candidate to work in the position which the Employer seeks to fill.

The Employer agrees to pay all Recruitment Fees as stated in Giig’s Terms and Conditions.

With respect to disputes arising between Employers and Recruiters the Parties agree to first resolve the dispute in good faith with one of Giig’s Representatives.

Either Employer or Recruiter has the right to terminate the User Contract after providing any required notice, or immediately on the end date specified in the User Contract terms and/or upon completion of the Recruiter Services for a particular Position Description in the event of a material breach of each party’s obligations, or with the consent of the other party.  Except as required by law, Employer remains obligated to pay the Recruiter Fees for any Recruiter Services provided prior to termination of the User Contract.

Employer is responsible and assumes all liability for determining whether the Recruiter is an independent contractor or employees and engaging them accordingly; Giig disclaims any liability for such determination or the related Engagement.  The Terms of Service do not create a partnership or agency relationship between Users.  Recruiter does not have authority to enter into written or oral (whether implied or express) contracts on behalf of Giig.  For User Contracts classified as independent contractor relationships, Employer may not require an exclusive relationship.  A Recruiter classified as an independent contractor is free at all times to provide Recruiter Services to persons or businesses other than Employer, including any competitor of Employer.

Recruitment Fees

Each Recruiter’s Proposal to submit candidates to an Employer shall contain a quote for a Recruitment fee for Permanent Hire and a Recruitment Fee for Contract Hire. The recruitment fee for a Permanent Hire will be provided on both and exclusive and non-exclusive basis and it’s up to the Employer to choose whether they would like to engage with that recruiter exclusively or not. -The Recruitment Fee for a Contract Hire shall contain a quote for the Recruitment Fee to be collected on a monthly basis. The quote shall also contain the fee that will be collected if a contract hire is to be converted into an permanent hire within a Contract Hire applied for the first 12 months of candidate’s engagement and a separate Recruitment Fee for a Contract Hire for the engagement of the candidate after the lapse of the foregoing 12-month period. The Employer shall decide accordingly how the Employer may wish to engage a particular candidate submitted by a Recruiter and shall provide the Recruitment Fee.

For Permanent Hire or a Fixed-Term Hire, Giig will send an invoice on the candidate’s start date of employment for Permanent Hire or a Fixed-Term Hire. The Recruitment Fee for the Permanent Hire or Fixed-Term Hire shall be passed across to the Recruiter when the Employer confirms that the candidate has started working for the Employer and shall deduct the Service Fee which shall be equal to 20% of the Recruitment Fee. The recruitment Fee is calculated as a percentage based on the candidates’ yearly base salary (Not including bonuses and expenses). Giig will rebate the Employer the Service Fee alongside the recruiter’s payment. The Service Fee shall at all times be the equivalent of the 20% of the Recruitment Fee. If part payments are being undertaken, the Service fee shall be deducted in part and in accordance with the percentage of the Recruitment fee that part-payment represents.

For Contract Hire, once a Contract Hire has been confirmed by an Employer, the Employer will sign their Contractor Agreement with the new Contract Hire directly and be invoiced by the Contract Hire directly for their wages. The wages paid to the Contract Hire should not include the recruitment fee which will be invoiced separately. Giig will then invoice the Employer on a monthly basis for the full recruitment fee that the Recruiter is claiming from the Employer with payment terms of 14 days. The Recruiter responsible for successfully placing the contract hire will then invoice Giig for their share of the fee minus the 20% commission. Giig will then release the contract hire recruitment fee to the recruiter 14 days after payment is received from the client.

Giig will continue to invoice for the fee, until there has been written evidence from the Employer, Candidate and Recruiter that the agreement is terminated. Giig must be provide with 14 days notice regarding the termination of a contract hire. Upon termination of the contract, the Contractor, Employer and Candidate are required to provide us evidence in writing of such termination. If an Employer wishes to make a Contract Hire to Permanent Hire, the Recruiter shall disclose the Recruitment Fee to be claimed from the Employer for making the Contract a Permanent Hire (the ‘Placement Fee’). Upon acceptance of the position, the Employer shall provide payment for the Placement Fee and the Recruitment Fee as stated above. Giig will rebate the Employer the Service Fee alongside the recruiter’s payment. Unless any additional fees apply (please see below our Terms regarding Circumvention of our Website), the Service Fee shall at all times be the equivalent of the 20% of the Recruitment Fee. If part payments are being undertaken, the Service fee shall be deducted in part and in accordance with the percentage of the Recruitment fee that part-payment represents.

All invoices for permanent or fixed term hires shall be paid by the Employer within 30 days of receipt. After receiving payment and deducting the Service Fee, the Recruiter can invoice Giig to receive the Recruitment Fee. We will release the Recruitment Fee to the Recruiter within 30 days after the Recruitment Fee has been received.

Late Payment

In the event that the employer fails to make payment on any invoice by the agreed-upon due date, the employer shall be liable to pay a late payment interest charge of 8% per annum plus the Bank of England interest rate, on the outstanding amount, accruing from the first day following the due date until the date of full payment.

The late payment interest shall be calculated daily on the outstanding balance and compounded monthly. The employer agrees that this late payment interest charge is reasonable and is intended to compensate Giig for the costs and losses incurred as a result of late payment.

The right to charge late payment interest is without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Giig under applicable law or the terms of any agreement between the parties.

Giig reserves the right to modify the late payment interest rate upon providing written notice to the employer.

This clause is an integral part of any agreement or contract between the parties and shall be binding upon the employer. The employer acknowledges and agrees to the applicability of this late payment interest clause as an incentive for timely payment.

By signing this agreement digitally or manually, the employer expressly consents to the imposition of late payment interest as outlined herein and undertakes to make prompt payment to avoid incurring such charges.

 

90 Day Rebate Guarantee

If For Permanent Hire or Fixed-Term Hire, Employers have a 90-day guarantee after a candidate has been has been recruited and signed an agreement with the Employer that the candidate will remain with the Employer for the said position. Nevertheless, if the candidate’s contract is terminated by either the Candidate or the Employer (except in circumstances where the Candidate is made redundant) before the expiry of the 90-day guarantee from the date the candidate signed an agreement with the Employer, the Recruiter shall provide a rebate as follows:

–           in the first month of employment, a rebate of 75% of the Recruitment fee;

–          in the second month of employment, a rebate of 50% of the fee; and

–          in the third month of employment, a rebate of 25% of the fee.

The 90-day guarantee does not apply to Contract Hire candidates. To claim this rebate, Employers must notify us within five business days of the candidate’s employment ending. Notification must be in writing and must outline, in detail, the reasons why the candidate is no longer employed by the Employer. We will investigate the claim in order to establish whether the guarantee is applicable. This may, among other things, include contacting the candidate. If an Employer fails to notify us within the time period specified herein, the Recruiter will not be under any obligation to refund the fee for the Employer. The guarantee’s period begins from the date that the candidate commences employment with the Employer’s organisation and ends 90-days afterwards.

We reserve the right to delay the payment of any rebate if we believe that a claim of unfair dismissal is likely or has been initiated. We may withhold any repayment until a determination is made by a court or tribunal of competent authority.

In making a decision whether we will authorise a rebate, you agree and acknowledge that:

(a)     we are not providing legal services;

(b)    we will not advise you regarding any legal matters; and

(c)     if you desire to have legal counsel, you will seek an advice from your own solicitor.

The Recruiter will provide a rebate to an Employer if:

(b)    the candidate previously provided harassed or otherwise discriminated against another employee of the Employer;

(c)     the candidate previously provided committed a criminal offence against the Employer or a person associated with the Employer or another employee of the employer;

(d)    the candidate is incapable or unwilling to perform the role, functions or responsibilities as specified in the Position Description; or

(e)    the candidate, by his or her own volition, decided to terminate his or her employment (but not as a result of any of the conditions outlined below).

(a)     the Employer fails to provide payment for the Recruitment Fee when is due;

(b)     the Employer changed the role, functions or responsibilities from those specified in the Position Description;

(c)    the candidate is now employed by or otherwise affiliated with another organisation or entity associated with the Employer;

(d)     the position no longer exists at the organisation;

(e)    the Employer made the candidate redundant for reasons not relating to the candidate’s performance;

(f)    the candidate was harassed or otherwise suffered discrimination at the Employer’s place of work;

(g)       the Employer has breached any law in relation to the employment of the candidate; or

(h)     the candidate suffers from or has suffered from a disability or mental impairment, illness or injury, or the candidate has died.

You agree to indemnify and (to the maximum extent permitted by law) hold us and any of our affiliates harmless against any damages or liability you may suffer as a result of the 90-day rebate guarantee.

Notice of Termination of Contract Hire

For Contract Hire, Employers must provide to the Recruiter two weeks prior notice before terminating a candidate on a Contract Hire, unless stated otherwise at the time of submitting a bid. If you are acting as a Recruiter, you acknowledge and agree that you are subject to this Termination. The Employers must notify us within five business days of the candidate’s Contract Hire Termination. Notification must be in writing and must outline, in detail, the reasons why the candidate is no longer engaged by the Employer. We will investigate the claim in order to establish whether the termination is true. This may, among other things, include contacting the candidate. If an Employer fails to notify us within the time period specified herein, the Contract Hire will be deemed to be in effect.

Fees

We may charge a fee for Services that we provide. When you use a Service that has a fee, you have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged, which we may change from time to time. We may choose to temporarily change the fees for our Services for promotional events (for example, discounts on memberships) or new Services, and such changes are effective when we post the temporary promotional event or new service on the Websites.

All fees agreed with Recruiters include all applicable goods and services and exclude value added tax (V.A.T.).

Fees and charges differ for Recruiters and Employers. Each User’s fees are outlined below:

1)      Recruiter Fees

We reserve the right to charge Recruiters 20% when a candidate submitted by a Recruiter is employed by an Employer (the ‘Service Fee’). The Service Fee will be deducted when the Recruitment Fee will be retained by us prior to the Recruitment Fee being disbursed to the Recruiter.

2)      Employer Fees

The Employer shall pay the Recruitment Fee to the Recruiter. The Recruitment Fee shall be collected by us to provide it to the Recruiter following the success of the candidate passing the probation period.

NON-CIRCUMVENTION

You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation we receive is collected through the Service Fee. Therefore, from the time you as a Recruiter OR Employer is engaged for Recruitment services via using Giig, you must use Giig as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that Recruiter or Employer or arising out of your relationship with that Recruiter or Employer. In case we find that a Circumvention Event has taken place for any reason, we will immediately delete your account and permanently restrict access to Giig. For the avoidance of any doubt, a Circumvention Event means, without limitation, the following:

–        An actual circumvention of our Website;

–        An attempt to circumvent our Website;

–         Any action that is considered by Giig exclusively as an influence to circumvent our Website;

–         Any action of a user that is considered by Giig exclusively that such user is enticing another user to circumvent our Website (whether such user is acting as an Employer or a Recruiter);

–         Any arrangement or agreement outside our Website for the provision of the Recruiter’s Services of a Recruiter that was contacted and/or engaged via Giig; which is initiated by a user acting either as an Employer or a Recruiter on our Website; irrespective of whether such arrangement and/or agreement is actually engaged or undertaken or carried on;

–         Any attempt to make an arrangement or agreement outside our Website for the provision of the Recruiter’s Services of a Recruiter that was contacted and/or engaged via Giig; which is initiated by a user acting either as an Employer or a Recruiter; irrespective of whether such arrangement and/or agreement is actually engaged or undertaken or carried on;

–         Any action that is considered by Giig exclusively that a user is influencing another user (whether acting as an Employer or a Recruiter) to make an arrangement or agreement outside of our Website for the provision of the Recruiter’s Services of a Recruiter that was contacted and/or engaged via Giig; which is initiated by a user acting either as an Employer or a Recruiter; irrespective of whether such arrangement and/or agreement is actually engaged or undertaken or carried on; and

–         Any action that is considered by Giig exclusively that a user is enticing another user (whether acting as an Employer or a Recruiter) to make an arrangement or agreement outside our Website for the provision of the Recruiter’s Services of a Recruiter that was contacted and/or engaged via Giig; which is initiated by a user acting either as an Employer or a Recruiter; irrespective of whether such arrangement and/or agreement is actually engaged or undertaken or carried on;

We will not proceed into such action of deleting your Account on the grounds of a Circumvention Event only if you and the Employer or Recruiter (whichever applies in your case) show evidence that up to one month prior to your engagement for the Recruiter’s Services via Giig, you have been engaged outside Giig with that particular Employer or Recruiter for the particular Position Description which the Recruiter’s Services will be provided.

If an Employer wishes to work with the same Recruiter for another job, Giig will incur 20% commission fee for the first 12 months of the engagement.

You may opt-out of this obligation with respect to each Recruiter-Employer relationship only if you pay Giig 40% of the Recruitment Fee. To pay the Opt-Out Fee, you must request instructions by contacting us. Except if you pay the Opt-Out Fee, you agree not to circumvent Giig in any way nor cause any Circumvention Even. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you must not Submit proposals or solicit users identified through Giig to contact, hire, work with, or pay outside Giig; or accept proposals or solicit users identified through Giig to contact, deliver services, invoice, or receive payment outside Giig. The 40% Opt-Out fee will be calculated as 40% of the 12-month annual salary for the role submitted by the employer.

You agree to notify us immediately if another person improperly contacts you or suggests making or receiving payments outside of Giig or suggests the undertaking of a Circumvention Even. If you are aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention clause, please contact us immediately.

Any confirmed act of circumnavigation will result in Giig claiming 40% of the recruitment fee from either Employer or Recruiter depending on who is deemed to be engaging in the circumnavigation. If both parties are deemed to be engaged in circumnavigation of the platform both parties may be fined. Employers deemed to be circumnavigating the platform may be liable to pay the full recruitment fee to the recruiter plus the 40% circumnavigation fine. The 40% recruitment fee/fine will be calculated as 40% of the 12-month annual salary for the role submitted by the employer.
