Macro Recruitment Terms of Business

Permanent Recruitment
MACRO has 3 Recruitment Models for Permanent Recruitment.

No Placement = No Fee model
Wherein for a period of two weeks (the exclusivity period), you engage MACRO to be the only agency to source candidates for a specific vacancy.
This does not prevent you from sourcing your own candidates from your own advertising.
If you do hire a candidate from another agency within the exclusivity period, you agree to pay MACRO a fee of $500 to cover MACRO’s costs.

The permanent placement fee is a percentage of the successful Candidate’s Package:
Office Administration staff: 12%
Sales staff: 13%
Trades Staff: 13%
All other skill sets are 15%
For candidate packages less than $50,000, a flat fee of $4000 applies.

Managed Services model
Wherein you engage MACRO to provide recruitment services on an hourly rate of $60 per hour plus any pre-agreed costs. Pre-agreed costs could include advertisements, testing or payroll services.
When a placement is made there is an additional placement incentive bonus as follows:

Permanent Placement: 5% of successful Candidate’s Package
Contract Placement: 10% of the successful candidates hourly rate

Premium Service model
Wherein you engage MACRO to undertake a comprehensive advertisement campaign and headhunting campaign for a specific vacancy.
The Advertisement Payment is a non-refundable Retainer fee.
Advertisement payment is 5% of the anticipated Package.
