If one of our candidates leaves your company for any reason (other than as a result of layoff, reduction in workforce, change in corporate ownership, or breach of employment agreement, conditions, change in location or job content) within four months of commencing their job, we will repeat our search at no extra cost to you.

• Timing Our initial search and identification of prospective candidates is usually completed within one to three weeks but may be longer based on talent availability, marketing conditions, location of candidates ect. Our screening/interview/sourcing process, leading to the presentation of a candidate short list, is also usually completed within one to three weeks. As such, most searches are completed within two to six weeks. Final selection however, is dependent on both the clients and the candidate’s availability for interview and the client’s internal decision-making process. We will however, at the outset of each assignment provide an estimated time frame for completion. Confidentiality All searches carried out by Sociable Society Recruitment are performed according to the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality. Confidential information divulged to us, in many cases, is vital to our ability to locate the best possible candidate; we respect this information and conversely request that you treat any candidate or general information provided by us with the same level of confidentiality.
