Guarantee

We will bring you the best possible applicants interested in your position for the period in which we are managing the vacancy.  
 
 If an appointment isn’t working out for either party, No.8 HR undertakes to find a solution.  If this proves unsuccessful No.8 HR undertakes to replace the candidate should the initial candidate cease to be employed within a 12 week period of commencement. 
 
 If a replacement is not required or if a suitable replacement cannot be found within a reasonable period No.8 HR will issue a credit to offset against future fees, calculated as follows:

  1.  70% of the fee for termination in the four weeks
  2.  50% of the fee for termination in the second four weeks
  3.  25% of the fee for termination in the third four week period

 This guarantee does not apply if the candidate is no longer employed for reasons beyond No.8 HR control (for example redundancy, company closure, restructuring, change of management or significant change in job description). 
Guarantees do not apply to replacement candidates and are dependent on invoices being paid by the due date.
