  • The interviewing of an applicant introduced to the client by the company will be deemed an acceptance by the client of these terms and conditions of business and of agreement to pay fees to Acorn Executive UK upon engagement of the said candidate introduced
  • All introductions to the client are confidential. Should the client pass on information regarding any applicant we have introduced to any other party, with the result that the applicant is engaged, then the client to whom the introduction was first made, will be liable to pay the fee to Acorn Executive UK, as if he/she had actually engaged the applicant.
  • These Terms & Conditions of Business will remain in place to any applicant introduced to the client for a period of one year from the date of introduction to the company.
  • The fees paid to Acorn Executive UK are calculated at 15% of the applicant’s taxable annual remuneration. The client will receive an invoice from the company on the first day of the applicant’s commencement with the client. The fee is due payable within fourteen days of the applicants first day of employment.
  • Interest will be charged on overdue invoices (whether in full or part) at the rate of 1.5% per month from the date of invoice until payment in full is made (both before and after judgment).
  • The client agrees with the Company to supply the Company with a copy of any letter of offer sent to any applicant and to notify the Company immediately when any applicant introduced by the Company is engaged by the Client.

  • Our responsibility is strictly limited to the introduction of an applicant; the engagement of an applicant introduced by the company is the client’s sole responsibility.
