Candidates and Employers
Roles and Responsibilities
Candidate’s Role
After your registration as a Candidate has been accepted by us, you will be able to make your profile visible to Employers. Employers will then have the opportunity to send non-binding Interview Requests to you. You must respond to Interview Requests within 48 hours, but you are not obliged to accept any Interview Request or contact any Employers that send an Interview Request to you.

Once an Employer has sent an Interview Request to you and you have responded to it, you may use other means of communication other than the Tech Jobs Mart platform to communicate with the Employer. Until you have received an Interview Request from an Employer, you agree not to attempt to circumvent Tech Jobs Mart by communicating outside Tech Jobs Mart’s platform. We may remove any Candidate that attempts to do this.

Employer’s Role
After your registration as an Employer has been accepted on the Tech Jobs Mart platform, you will be able to browse Candidates on Tech Jobs Mart and submit Interview Requests.

Once you have identified a Candidate on Tech Jobs Mart, you agree to initiate communication with the Candidate exclusively via an Interview Request. The Employer and the Candidate may use other means of communication once the Candidate has responded to the Interview Request.

If a Candidate accepts a Job Offer, you agree to inform Tech Jobs Mart within five business days of the Candidate’s acceptance, and provide the details, including the Start Date, remuneration and duration, along with a copy of the final accepted offer or employment contract.

You agree not to attempt to circumvent Tech Jobs Mart by attempting to communicate and hire a Candidate after discovering the Candidate on Tech Jobs Mart. If you do this, there will be a Penalty Fee of up to 12.5% (excluding VAT) of the Candidate’s annual total cost to company (CTC) in addition to the Success Fee and we can deny you access to Tech Jobs Mart.

Payments and Refunds
For Candidates
Tech Jobs Mart is free for Candidates.

As a Candidate, you are required to promptly notify Tech Jobs Mart within five business days if you accept an offer of employment, whether for an indefinite or fixed term. You shall also provide Tech Jobs Mart with a copy of your signed offer letter or employment contract containing the key terms of the Job Offer, including your Start Date and salary.

For Employers
If a Candidate is identified through Tech Jobs Mart and accepts a Job Offer within six months of the Candidate’s Tech Jobs Mart profile being visible to the Employer, you as the Employer will be charged a Success Fee, regardless of whether the Candidate accepts an Interview Request. The Success Fee (excluding VAT) is equal to 12.5% of the Candidate’s annual total CTC, inclusive of all guaranteed income. Tech Jobs Mart will invoice you within one (1) week of the Candidate’s Start Date and the Success Fee shall be due thirty (30) days after the Start Date.

If you already had an Active Process with the Candidate, no Success Fee will be due. An Active Process means that the Candidate was not rejected and that there was at least one communication (email, call, interview, …) from each side in the last ninety (90) days in the context of a potential hiring.

Refunds:
If the Candidate or the Employer terminates the employment within ninety (90) days of the Start Date for any reason other than retrenchments or economic reasons, the paid Success Fee will be refunded to the Employer.

In order to claim your refund, you as the Employer, must notify Tech Jobs Mart about the termination of the Candidate’s employment and provide all the requested details. You must also have notified Tech Jobs Mart about the original accepted Job Offer in accordance with our requirements set out above. The refund will only be applicable provided that the Success Fee was paid within thirty (30) days.

Fixed Term Contracting
If a Candidate is hired on a fixed term contract of less than a year there are two options for the payment of the Success Fee, with Option 1 being the default unless you let us know otherwise.

Option 1:
The Employer pays the full Success Fee equal to 12.5% (excluding VAT) of the Candidate’s annualised monthly CTC, inclusive of all guaranteed income. The Employer will then be eligible for the refund if the employment contract is terminated within 3 months, provided they meet the Refund criteria set out above.

Option 2:
The Employer pays a Success Fee of 12.5% (excluding VAT) of the Candidate’s total CTC for the duration of the contract. If the Candidate is made permanent or their contract is extended, you agree to notify Tech Jobs Mart of this, and you will be required to pay the remaining Success Fee of 12.5% (excluding VAT) of the Candidate’s annual total CTC less the amount already paid. Should you choose this option you will not be eligible for a refund if the Candidate’s employment contract is terminated.

Monthly Billing Option
The Employer has the option to pay the Success Fee in ten (10) equal monthly installments. The monthly installment amount will be equal to 1.5% (excluding VAT) of the Candidate’s annualised monthly CTC, inclusive of all guaranteed income. Tech Jobs Mart will invoice you within one (1) week of the Candidate’s Start Date and thereafter every month for nine (9) months. Payment will be due seven (7) days after being invoiced.

Should you choose this option you will not be eligible for a refund if the Candidate’s employment contract is terminated. However, if the Candidate or the Employer terminates the employment at any time during the extended payment period, for any reason other than retrenchments or economic reasons, you will not be required to continue paying the monthly installments going forward. This will be applicable provided you as the Employer, notify Tech Jobs Mart about the termination of the Candidate’s employment and provide all the requested details.
