1.2 It is the responsibility of the Client to ensure that Relancer's services are in accordance with their needs. Relancer's Recruiters provide the following (but not limited to) services:

• Helping to fill needed roles faster
• Helping to expand your team in new locations
• Helping to fill challenging or niche roles
• Helping out with specific recruiting tasks
• Improving your recruitment processes or strategy
• Any custom recruitment challenges

Relancer will do it's best to provide best-suited Recruiters and present all necessary information.

2. SERVICE PROCESS

2.1 Understanding your hiring needs (Projects)

Relancer will map the Client's hiring needs, agree on the roles (Projects) and criteria (pricing model, budget, and other preferences). The assigned Account Manager at Relancer will start mapping the options and give feedback on which Recruiter(s) are currently available and best-suited for the Client's situation.

Each job vacancy is considered as a separate Project. Client can assign a different Recruiter for each Project (in case the roles are very different and need specialized Recruiters) or select a Recruiter to handle multiple Projects.

2.2 Comparing and choosing Recruiters

Relancer will provide Vetted Profiles of Recruiters which include their expertise, level of experience, skills, fees, previous work, references from clients, and other relevant information.

The Client will schedule an intro Meeting with suitable Recruiters to ask more questions, talk about the Project in more detail and negotiate the terms.

The goal of the Intro Meeting is to evaluate the Recruiter’s suitability for the recruitment Project. Client should provide the Recruiter with necessary information so the Recruiter can assess their ability to achieve recruitment deliverables and make a final proposal for their fees and estimated deadlines.

In some cases, when support is needed,The Account Manager from Relancer will participate in the Intro Meeting with the Client and Recruiter. The Account Manager will advise the Client on evaluating and selecting the Recruiters, but the Client will be responsible for the final decision.

2.3 Recruitment Contract between Recruiter and Client

Relancer provides Contract Templates and (if necessary) helps to negotiate terms between the Recruiter and Client, who will agree on Milestones, Deliverables, Collaboration Model, Fees and other terms. Using the Contract Template is not mandatory.

Relancer is not included in the Recruitment Contract between the Recruiter and the Client. Both parties are in a separate agreement (Terms of Service) with Relancer.

2.4 Collaboration and progress tracking

Relancer will not regulate the collaboration between the Recruiter and the Client after they've signed the Recruitment Contract. All further collaboration is agreed between the Recruiter and the Client with the Milestones and Deliverables in the contract.

Each Recruiter has their own working processes, which they will align with the Client's situation and needs.

It is recommended to have an Onboarding Meeting to go over the Project before the work starts. It is recommended to set Check-In Meetings (via email, in person meeting, video call) deadlines to keep track of the progress.

2.5 Project wrap-up

When the project ends, the Client has to inform Relancer about it in order to successfully close the project and collect feedback from the Recruiter and the Client.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidential Information means any material or information provided to the Client to evaluate a Recruiter regardless of whether the information is in tangible, electronic, verbal, graphic, visual, or other form.

Confidential Information does not include material or information that: (a) is generally known by third parties as a result of no act or omission of Client; (b) was lawfully received by Client without restriction from a third party having the right to disseminate the information; (c) was already known by Client prior to receiving it from the other party and was not received from a third party in breach of that third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (d) was independently developed by Client without use of another person’s Confidential Information.

Client agrees to hold in confidence all Confidential Information and to use reasonable care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party's Confidential Information.

4. ROLE OF RELANCER

4.1 The role of Relancer is to ensure:

• All recruiters are vetted (they go through a review and onboarding process).
• The Client has sufficient information and support to make an educated choice from proposed Recruiters.
• The Recruiter has sufficient information and support to assess their suitability for the Project.
• The collaboration between Recruiter and Client goes smoothly.
• All disputes between the Recruiter and Client are handled with care by Relancer's Support team.

4.2 The Account Manager from Relancer is included in all the communication until a Recruiter is hired and a contract is signed between the Recruiter and the Client. This includes all email communication and the Intro Meeting.

4.3 Relancer will not participate in communication and meetings between the Recruiter and Client after the contract has been signed between both parties.

4.4 Relancer has the right to request feedback and information from the Recruiter and Client at any given point to ensure collaboration success. Relancer collects feedback to make sure the Recruiter is on track to achieve the agreed recruitment deliverables and offers a high quality service experience to the Client.

4.5 If the first 14 days since starting the Project show that:

1. the Recruiter might not be able to deliver the hiring goals, or
2. the Client might not be able to contribute to Project success,

Relancer will take measures to improve collaboration between parties or terminate the collaboration.

4.6 Relancer will provide a Contract Template and receive a copy of the final contract between the Recruiter and the Client. Including the description of Milestones and Deliverables set for the Project.

5. COLLABORATION MODELS

5.1 Hourly commitment

It's a suitable model if the Client needs help for particular repetitive tasks, such as sourcing candidates or conducting screening interviews. Hourly model also makes sense when the Client has multiple similar roles or plans to work with the Recruiter for a longer period than just one Project. Hourly model is cheaper and more efficient than having a Recruiter for each role separately.

Clients are billed based on the hours Recruiters have worked on the Recruitment Project.

The billing cycle is agreed by the Client and the Recruiter. Most common cycles are weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. The first weeks will show if the collaboration between the Recruiter and the Client is successful in long-term.

Due date for payments is agreed by the Client and the Recruiter. Usually payments for Hourly Invoices are due in 3-5 days after the invoice is issued.

5.2 Exclusive commitment

Exclusive commitment suits best if the Client doesn’t have/need an in-house recruiter or wants extra help with some specific roles. In this case the Recruiter works exclusively with the role and is committed to the Client.

20-50% of the Total Recruitment Fee is transferred to the Recruiter's bank account at the beginning of the project as a retainer. The retainer payment establishes a mutual commitment for both sides for a common goal.

When the Recruiter reaches agreed Milestones, the Client will transfer the agreed amount of the fee to the Recruiter. The scope and deadlines of the Milestones are agreed by the Client and the Recruiter in the Recruitment Contract.

Due date for the rest of the Recruitment Fee payments is agreed by the Client and the Recruiter. Usually the rest of the Recruitment Fee is due in 14 days after the Client has signed an employment contract with the candidate presented by the Recruiter.

5.3 Contingency commitment

If the Client has used up most of their recruitment budget and has in-house recruiters also working on the role, it makes sense to hire a Contingency Recruiter. It will be the most expensive option, but with less risk – you only pay for results. The Recruiter might not* be committed to the Client, but will provide an additional pipeline of candidates.

*Might not be committed means that Contingency Recruiters work with multiple Clients at the same time and can prefer Projects where they can get results faster and with less effort.

The average Contingency fee varies from 10% to 30% of the anticipated annualized salary or wages of the candidate.

Due date for the Contingency fee is agreed by the Client and the Recruiter. Usually the Contingency fee is due in 14 days after the Client has signed an employment contract with the candidate presented by the Recruiter.

6. PAYMENTS

6.1 There are no upfront costs. Relancer's marketplace services are free for the Client.

6.2 The Client will be billed by the Recruiter according to the collaboration model (hourly, exclusive or contingency). Relancer invoices Recruiters a percentage of their fee depending on the total amount they’ve billed with a client.

6.3 The Client is responsible to determine proper classification of all Recruiters as either independent contractors, sole proprietors or employees. For US-based Independent Recruiters, the Client should refer to the IRS guidelines and other federal, state, and local regulations applicable.

6.4 Relancer does not assume to be an expert on tax matters for the Client's specific business, the Client should consult a tax professional for any questions or concerns about any tax-related issues. If the Client not based in the US or have additional questions, please consult the local tax representative for more information on filing tax forms in a specific country.

7. GUARANTEES

7.1 Guarantees from Recruiter

For any guarantees regarding the Project results and Candidates, the Client should negotiate and agree with the Recruiter.

7.2 Guarantees from Relancer

• Relancer will guarantee that all Recruiters on Relancer's platform are thoroughly reviewed and validated professionals.
• Relancer will guarantee that all Clients on Relancer are thoroughly reviewed and validated companies.

8. TERMINATION

8.1 The Client agrees to immediately inform Relancer about any updates or cancellations regarding Projects. The Client understands that Relancer's services for the Client are free of charge, so withholding or misrepresenting information may result in financial loss for Relancer. Disregarding this will be grounds for termination without additional notification.

8.2 The Client agrees with the Non-circumvention Agreement to make payments only through Relancer for 24 months from the date of introduction by Relancer, unless the Client pays an Opt-Out-Fee.

Opt-Out-Fee is:

2.1 Getting started

To register for an account to use Relancer’s Services, you must complete a user profile, which you consent to be shown to other users and, unless you change your privacy settings (in your profile), to be shown to the public. You agree to provide accurate and complete information on your profile—and on all registration and other forms you access while using Relancer’s Services or provide to us—and you agree to keep that information current. You agree not to provide any false or misleading information about your identity or location, your business, the beneficial owner(s) of your business, your skills, or the services your business provides, and you agree to correct any information that is or becomes false or misleading. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the account, or access to Relancer’s Services, of anyone who provides false, inaccurate, or incomplete information in creating, marketing, or maintaining a profile.

After signing up, the recruiters will go through a review process and if selected, will receive a request to complete onboarding on the Relancer platform. In the onboarding process, the recruiter will get important information about how Relancer’s platform and service works. This will also help us welcome you into our community and match you with the best-suited recruiting Projects.

2.2 Receiving projects

Each job vacancy from a Client is considered as a separate Project. Client can assign a different Recruiter for each Project (in case the roles are very different and need specialized Recruiters) or select a single Recruiter to handle multiple Projects.

Relancer will send you Projects per your preferences so you can decline or confirm your interest. You are always welcome to ask more questions via email or a phone call.

Please keep in mind that as we mostly work with SMBs, startups and scaleups (11 – 500 employees) the Project descriptions can change and get more specific during further negotiations. It's up to you to make suggestions regarding their Recruitment Strategy if you see fit.

2.3 Reviewing and confirming Projects

When you confirm your interest in the Client’s project by clicking “Interested” on the Relancer platform then your profile becomes visible to the Client. This means that you have been introduced to the Client by Relancer.

If you receive a project on Relancer from a client with whom you already have or had a recruitment services contract before, then you should click “Not interested” on the client’s project.

After the Client also confirms their interest, we’ll set up an Intro Meeting with the Client. The goal of the Intro Meeting is to evaluate your match with the Client and the Project. The Client should provide the Recruiter with necessary information so the Recruiter can assess their ability to achieve recruitment deliverables and make a final proposal for their fees and estimated deadlines after the meeting.

In some cases, when support is needed, The Account Manager from Relancer will participate in the Intro Meeting with the Client and you. The Account Manager will advise the Client on evaluating and selecting the Recruiters, but the Client will be responsible for the final decision.

2.4 Composing Proposals

After the meeting, the Recruiter will make their final proposal for the Project, which should include:

1. Collaboration Model preferences (different options can be proposed)

5.3 Relancer charges Recruiters a sliding Service Fee based on the total amount billed to a single client. You pay:

• 15% for the first €20,000 you bill your client across all contracts
• 10% for total billings with your client that exceed €20,000

For example, if you have billed your client (which includes the Relancer fee) for €25,000 and it has be paid in 2 equal invoices. When you send your:

• 1st invoice to the client for €12,500, then Relancer will send you an invoice for 15%*12,500=€1,875
• 2nd invoice to the client for €12,500, then Relancer will send you an invoice for 7,500*15%+5,000*10%=€1,625

Your take-home earnings after deducting the Relancer fee: €25,000-€3,500=€21,500

When a Client uses another company that belongs to the same Group of Companies to sign a Recruitment Contract with the Recruiter it is considered as the same Client in terms of Relancer’s service fee.

When discussing your pricing and putting together the price proposal, make sure to take into account the Relancer fee. The Relancer fee should be included in your price proposal/total fee to the client. If you need help with putting together the price proposal or have any questions, please consult with your Account Manager. We are always here to help you succeed.

This fee allows us to create the needed services and technology, from matching you with vetted clients to collaborating, communicating, getting paid, and payment protection.

6. COLLABORATION MODELS

The Recruiters can set and negotiate their own rates and pricing models. Of course, it depends on the overall market situation, the Recruiter's experience level and skills. Also Clients have different budgets and pricing model preferences. Some Projects and Collaboration models are a better match than others.

It's a suitable model if the Client needs help for particular repetitive tasks, such as sourcing candidates or conducting screening interviews. Hourly model also makes sense when the Client has multiple similar roles or plans to work with you for a longer period than just one Project.

20-50% of the Total Recruitment Fee is transferred to the Recruiter's bank account at the beginning of the project as a retainer. The retainer payment establishes a mutual commitment for both sides for a common goal.

*Might not be committed means that Contingency Recruiters usually work with multiple Clients at the same time and can prefer Projects where they can get results faster and with less effort.

The Contingency fees vary from 10% to 30% of the anticipated annualized salary or wages of the candidate.
