Our standard professional fee for conducting an assignment is twenty five percent of the successful candidate's total cost to company compensation for the first year of employment.

Total cost to company includes basic cash salary, 13th cheque, guaranteed bonus, travel allowance, housing allowance, entertainment allowance, reimbursive allowance, use of company vehicle, joining fees, restraint payments and free housing. This fee will be invoiced as a non-refundable retainer in three instalments. The first invoice (Research Fee) will be sent shortly after our services are retained; the second (Short List Fee) following submission of an acceptable candidate shortlist and the remaining invoice will follow appointment of a successful candidate. Invoices for our professional services are due and payable upon receipt. If the successful candidate's total compensation for the first year is greater than initially calculated levels, the client is invoiced accordingly at the end of the search. Our invoices will reflect Value Added Tax which is payable by the client.

Additional monthly retainers may be billed if an unexpected change in the Position Specification is initiated by someone in your organisation or where an organisational change disrupts or prolongs the assignment.

To assure the client of a comprehensive and thorough search, we include in our evaluation process any potential candidate for this position whom clients may be considering or may consider, including current employees. Our fee applies to any candidate our client selects and hires. If, as a consequence of this engagement, any individual we have presented as a prospective candidate is employed by you for a different position within six months from introduction, a fee of twenty percent of the individual's first full year's total cost to company compensation (salary, bonus and incentives) will be due and payable to Ubuntu Human Resources upon employment.

Ubuntu Human Resources accepts assignments on an exclusive and non-contingent basis. If the assignment is cancelled prior to being successfully completed, our client will be obligated for fees and expenses incurred to date of cancellation, plus any agreed expenses that have been incurred since the last invoice and any costs associated with terminating the assignment.

Ubuntu Human Resources maintains an active quality programme in an ongoing effort to enhance the services we provide. At the conclusion of each assignment, we ask our clients to comment on various aspects of our performance during the course of the search. This feedback provides valuable insight for us in our continuing efforts to provide quality services and successful results.
