SECTION 4 – SERVICES AND HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS.
Our Services to guarantee the Top 1% of Latam talent involves seven (7) step process, as outlined below:
We start by requesting information about the roles and seniority of the candidates you're looking for and any relevant requirements, as well as a job description or list of tasks for these roles. If you don't have one, we can build one for you;
To get started with our search, we require a deposit of $500.00 USD per candidate;
Once the deposit has been paid, we begin looking for the perfect candidate for your needs and conduct interviews until we've identified the top 3 candidates to recommend;
We'll send you the profiles of the best candidates, including their CVs, salary expectations, and some observations about why we think they’re a good fit for your position;
If you are interested in any of the candidates, let us know and we'll assist in arranging interviews with them;
Once you select the one you like, we can conduct reference checks on your behalf before you offer them the job; and
After the candidate accepts the job offer, we’ll invoice you for our services.
SECTION 5 – HIRING DETAILS, CANDIDATE BENEFITS, EQUIPMENT, AND MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES.
After selecting the candidate(s) you wish to hire, you will extend a job offer to them. As their employer, you are responsible for defining their benefits and paying their salary directly.
You are responsible for supplying, or not, depending on your agreement with the candidate, at your own cost, any tools and equipment your candidate requires to perform their duties for your company.
Please note that it is your responsibility to supervise, manage, and oversee the candidate’s work.
SECTION 6 – TERMS OF SALE & PAYMENT.
Our fee for each Service is a one-time payment equivalent to 20% of the candidate’s annual salary. This fee is due when the candidate accepts your offer.
Here’s an example:
You want to hire someone with a salary of $800/month, which is $9,600/year.
20% of that is $1,920.
This is the total fee you’ll pay Proppel once you make the hire (minus the deposit already paid).
When paying via bank transfer, you authorize us or our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for all charges associated with your use of our Services. You agree to be fully responsible for and to pay all such charges.
Chargebacks are not permitted. If you initiate a chargeback for a payment made to Proppel and we successfully contest the dispute, you agree to pay a $500.00 administrative fee. This fee is not a penalty but compensates for the estimated time and effort required to address the chargeback.
Under no circumstances will Proppel or the candidate be responsible for any expenses you incur related to the hiring or employment of the candidate.
SECTION 7 – REFUND POLICY AND REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.
Our service fee is non-refundable.
If you have concerns or are dissatisfied with your Service, please contact us to discuss potential improvements or solutions.
To discontinue using our Services, you must terminate the Service according to the terms outlined in these Terms.
Upon agreeing to these Terms and engaging Proppel for Services, you will be required to pay an initial deposit of $500.00 USD per candidate (the “Deposit”). This Deposit must be paid in full and will be credited towards the total Service fee.
Please note that Proppel will not commence providing Services, including candidate searches, until the Deposit is received. If the Deposit is not paid within seven (7) days of agreeing to these Terms, your engagement with Proppel will automatically terminate.
The Deposit is fully refundable. If you are not satisfied with the candidates presented, you may request a refund four (4) weeks after the Deposit payment.
By paying the Deposit, you agree to allow Proppel up to four (4) weeks to set up your account, conduct candidate searches, and arrange interviews for your review.
SECTION 8 – THREE-MONTH SATISFACTION GUARANTEE.
We offer a three (3) month satisfaction guarantee on candidates placed through our Services. If the candidate does not meet your expectations for any reason, we will provide a replacement at no additional cost, if needed. The three-month guarantee starts from the day the candidate accepts your offer.
Alternatively, you may apply the Service fee toward filling another role. Please note that free replacements are not available after three (3) months from the candidate’s placement.
