Warranties/ Liabilities – Meeting and finding you a role
We are a specialist boutique house, rather than a volume recruiter. We have a select number of opportunities at any time and receive many requests to be met and to be considered for opportunities and interview. Our role is often to prioritise and screen as our time and client needs dictate.
As a result we provide no warranty or guarantee that we can do any of the following: Meet with you; submit your details to a client for a role even if requested by you; secure you an interview; successfully find you a role; find you specific terms of employment. You waive any claims against us as a result of loss or damage that you may suffer in respect of same.
We cannot guarantee that a client, to whom we have submitted your details in confidence, will keep your data or submission confidential. It is also recognised by you that clients have other contacts and routes to information. We do however communicate to clients the importance of complete confidentiality at all times and endeavour to ensure it is respected. You waive any claims against us as a result of loss or damage that you may suffer in respect of same.
