These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between Compuways (Pty) Ltd (“Compuways”, “we”, “us”) and the employer or company registering on the Compuways platform at www.compuways.co.za (“Employer”, “you”). By completing registration and accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by them.

These Terms must be read together with our Privacy Policy.

Compuways provides specialist IT recruitment services, including:

• Access to a database of active IT professional candidate profiles
• Presentation of suitable candidate profiles for your specified vacancies
• Facilitation of candidate applications for your job listings

The scope of services for each vacancy will be agreed between you and your designated Compuways recruiter.

4.1 Permanent Placements

A placement fee becomes payable when a candidate introduced to you by Compuways accepts and commences permanent employment with your company. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the candidate's agreed annual cost-to-company (CTC), as quoted per vacancy by your Compuways recruiter.

4.2 Contract / Fixed-Term Placements

For contract placements, fees are calculated on the agreed monthly contract rate or as a fixed placement fee, as agreed per assignment.

4.3 Payment Terms

Invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date. Late payments may attract interest at the rate prescribed under the Prescribed Rate of Interest Act.

4.4 Guarantee Period

If a permanently placed candidate resigns or is dismissed for reasons unrelated to performance within 90 days of commencing employment, Compuways will offer a replacement candidate free of charge. No cash refund will be provided.

4.5 Re-introduction

The placement fee is payable even if you have previously been introduced to the candidate through another channel. Compuways' fee applies to any hire within 12 months of the candidate's introduction to your company through our platform.
