Terms & Conditions
Effective date: 15/06/2025
These Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern the provision of recruitment services by Dream.al (“We,” “Us,” “Our”) to the client company (“Client,” “You,” “Your”). By engaging our services, the Client agrees to be bound by the following terms.
1. Scope of Services
1.1 We specialize in international recruitment, candidate sourcing, pre-screening, shortlisting, and coordination of relocation and onboarding processes.
1.2 We do not employ candidates, act as a staffing agency, or assume responsibility for payroll, taxation, or visa sponsorship, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
1.3 The Client is fully responsible for employment contracts, visa processing, and legal compliance within their jurisdiction.
2. Candidate Introduction & Ownership
2.1 A candidate is considered “introduced” once we provide their CV, profile, or personal details through email, messaging platform, or other documented communication.
2.2 Candidate ownership remains valid for a period of six (6) months from the date of introduction. If the Client hires the candidate—directly or indirectly—within this period, our service fee applies.
2.3 If a candidate is already known to the Client prior to our introduction, the Client must notify us in writing within 48 hours. Failure to do so constitutes acceptance of our introduction.
3. Fees, Invoicing, and Payment
3.1 Service fees are agreed upon in writing before the start of any engagement.
3.2 Fees are typically based on a percentage of the candidate’s gross annual salary, a flat fee per hire, or a project-based rate, depending on the scope.
3.3 Invoices will be issued on the candidate’s confirmed start date or contract signing date, whichever occurs first.
3.4 All payments are due within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed.
3.5 Late payments will incur interest of 2% per month, compounded monthly.
3.6 All fees are exclusive of VAT or any applicable local taxes.
3.7 Any applicable taxes, duties, or levies imposed by government authorities are the Client’s responsibility.
4. Candidate Suitability & Disclaimer
4.1 We make reasonable efforts to assess the suitability of candidates, including background checks, skills evaluation, and reference verification where applicable.
4.2 However, the final hiring decision is solely the Client’s responsibility, and we do not guarantee the performance, conduct, or long-term retention of any candidate.
4.3 We are not liable for any loss, damage, costs, or consequences arising from the Client’s employment decisions.
5. Replacement Policy
5.1 We do not provide automatic replacement guarantees.
5.2 In specific cases and only if explicitly agreed upon in writing before engagement, we may offer a one-time replacement within 14 calendar days of the candidate’s start date.
5.3 This is subject to full and timely payment of the original invoice and excludes cases of restructuring, layoffs, or unjust dismissal.
