All missions accepted by 4selection (hereinafter, “The Company”) shall be governed by the present Business terms. Unless The Company expressly accepts the Client’s conditions in writing, the present terms and conditions supersede all other terms and conditions in the event of a conflict.

Our concept is a little different, why we have clarified our working framework

  • Business terms and conditions;
  • Payment terms and conditions;
  • Answers made for the Q&A;
  • Rules for recruitment;
    – Focused on the client;
    – Focused on the candidate.

1.9 “Candidate” shall mean an applicant for a temporary, contract or permanent position of employment introduced to the Client by the Consultancy.

2.1 Any instructions received by the Consultancy from the Client for the supply of Services and/or the Client’s acceptance of Services supplied by the Consultancy shall constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein.
2.2 Introductions are affected by the Consultancy and are deemed to be accepted by the Client upon the Client’s request for details of Candidates or interview with Candidates (whether by telephone or person).
2.3 Where more than one Client has entered into this agreement, the Clients shall be jointly and severally liable for all payments of the Fee.
2.4 Upon acceptance of these terms and conditions by the Client the terms and conditions are irrevocable and can only be amended with the written consent of the Consultancy.
2.5 The Client undertakes to give the Consultancy at least fourteen (14) days notice of any change in the Client’s name, address, city, zip, country, email and/or any other change in the Client’s details.
2.6 The client commits to respond quickly when a consultant presents a candidate. The client must invite the candidate to an interview within 5 working days after we have submitted a presentation of the candidate. If we lose the candidate due to the client does not respond quickly, the customer will be offered an additional candidate for an additional price, calculated in the hours it takes to invite, interview and process an extra candidate or more candidates.

3. Client shall pay the Company’s fees under the payment terms mentioned in the specific conditions. All fees are calculated according to the rate in effect at the Company, plus VAT or equivalent taxes.
3.1 In 4selection you pay for the hours we work for you. We offer some packets, and you can also decide what of the service you need, and pick this.
3.2 When you order more of our service you will have to order on the website and secure the payment, we can also help you to make the order. This way we can hold down the prices and this is a vital part of the low price structure. We normally don’t see any problems with this as our clients also need to use internet payment when using Linkedin.
3.3 In some cases, we can offer a Client paying after receiving an invoice. However, the full amount must be paid/received no later than 7 days after ordering, the assignment will first be started when the full amount is received. In the case of invoice purchase, an administration fee of US$ 39  (DKR 250.00) is charged. We do not offer long payment deadlines, as stated, the low prices are set with the focus on credit card or PayPal payment. All payment is related to our  Payment terms: https://4selection.com/payment-terms/
3.4 The end of the contract is not a result of an economic layoff or from a modification of the position (or of the function) exercised by the Candidate or from restructuring by the Client.
3.5 We reserve the right to stop an assignment in case of non-payment. The task can be resumed after the full amount has been paid. In the case missing payment indirect or direct effect an ongoing task, like we lose the candidates, we reserve the rights to charge for a new research process.
3.6 In case of disagreement, this does not authorize a client to withhold 4selections effects or material.

4.1 The Client hereby disclaims any right to rescind or cancel the contract or to sue for damages or to claim restitution arising out of any misrepresentation made to the Client by the Consultancy and the Client acknowledges that the Services are bought relying solely upon the Client’s competencies/skill and judgment.

(b) employment termination not in accordance with any applicable code of practice;
(c) the Client shall notify the Consultancy before a candidate may be terminated.

5.5 In the event that the Consultancy is unable to find a suitable replacement Candidate within twelve (12) weeks of notification, then providing that the Client does not employ the services of other agencies or any other alternative methods or causes unreasonable delay in the interviewing process, the Consultancy shall refund a proportion of the Fee(s) as follows:

6.1 In connection with this agreement, the Client grants the Consultancy permission to contact the Client (or Candidate) in connection with this recruitment, a communication/contact that will take place discreetly.

Our concept and low prices are made out from that the client pay the fee up front before we start the assignment, but we do see clients bye more and in some cases, it can be relevant with rules related for payment later than before we start the assignment:
