Terms of Business

These Terms of Business (“Terms”) apply when we provide recruitment services to a business client. They are issued by Geoff Banks-Smith trading as Recruitment Hub (“we”, “us”, “our”), 306 Block A, 2 Hulme Street, Salford, M5 4ZB. Contact: enquiries@recruitmenthub.info. Effective 26 August 2026.

Fees, extras and any variation are set only in a written Commercial Schedule signed or clearly accepted by the client. Public website prices for Screen & Share are a starting point, not a binding quote.

We will not introduce a candidate, share a Screen & Share recording, or start a search until the client has accepted these Terms and a Commercial Schedule in writing (email is enough).

Using a candidate we have introduced, or requesting a recording after we have stated that these Terms apply, is acceptance of the Terms and the last Schedule we sent.

Screen & Share: we act as a temporary recruiter on a vacancy the client owns. We review applications, run 15–20 minute video interviews, and share recordings and notes of suitable people. The client runs the formal interview and the hire. This is a fixed-fee screening service, not a typical contingency agency process.

Placement search: we source and introduce candidates. A fee of 12.5% of Remuneration is payable if the client engages a candidate we introduced, as set out below.

We operate as an employment agency for search and introductions. We are not acting as an employment business that employs and pays temporary workers, unless a Commercial Schedule later says otherwise.

Unless the Schedule says otherwise, Screen & Share is £995 plus any agreed extras, per role. A three-role package is £2,650.

The fee is payable on instruction, or as staged in the Schedule. It is earned for the screening work, not for a hire. A later hire from that campaign does not convert the fee into a placement fee unless the Schedule says it does.

Placement search fees are 12.5% of Remuneration. That rate is fixed under these Terms unless a written Commercial Schedule states a different figure before introductions begin.

Remuneration means the candidate’s first-year gross base salary plus guaranteed cash (signing bonus, guaranteed commission or equivalent) as at the start date. Equity, benefits in kind and discretionary bonus are excluded unless the Schedule includes them.

VAT is not charged while we are not VAT registered. If that changes we will notify the client.

A placement fee is due if the client, or any group company, engages a candidate we introduced within 12 months of the later of the introduction or the last interview we arranged, in any capacity (permanent, fixed-term, contract, or via a third party).

Invoice on the candidate’s start date, or on engagement if sooner. Payment is due 14 days from invoice. We may charge statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

If a placed candidate’s employment ends within 12 weeks of the start date, other than by reason of redundancy, constructive or unfair dismissal, or a change of role the candidate did not agree, the client may choose either a free replacement search or a rebate of the placement fee, provided the fee was paid on time and we are notified in writing within 7 days of the end date.

Rebate scale: 0–2 weeks employed: 70%. 3–6 weeks: 45%. 7–12 weeks: 20%. 13 weeks and after: none.

Screen & Share fees are not rebated because they are paid for screening work already done.

We will take reasonable steps to confirm identity and that a candidate is willing to work in the role, in line with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003.

The client is responsible for final selection, interviews, references, right to work, and any vetting required for the role. We do not warrant that a candidate will accept an offer or remain in post.

Screen & Share recordings are licensed to the client only for that hiring process. They must not be published or used for any other purpose. The client must delete them when the process ends, or within 12 months, whichever is sooner, unless a longer period is required by law.

Each party will comply with UK GDPR. Our Privacy Policy describes how we process candidate and client data.

Nothing excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Subject to that, we are not liable for a client’s hiring decision, for a candidate’s subsequent performance, or for indirect loss or loss of profit. Our total liability for a campaign is limited to the fees paid for that campaign in the 12 months before the claim.

Either party may end an instruction on written notice. Fees already earned remain payable. Introductions already made remain subject to the 12-month engagement rule in section 5.

These Terms and any Schedule are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

Each instruction will confirm: client name, role title, service (Screen & Share or placement search), fee, payment triggers, rebate or replacement, and any extras (advertising, extra interviews).

Until that Schedule is accepted, website figures are a guide only.
