Roles and Responsibilities
Candidate’s Role
Once a you, as a Candidate,have registered on our Website, staff of Snatch will determine if all fields have correctly been entered and will determine if any available employment vacancies fitting your profile exists. Once our Staff have deemed the Candidate profile relevant to Employers seeking employment, we will make your profile visible to Employers. A Candidate will also be able to make their profile visible to Employers. Employers will then have the opportunity to send non-binding Requests to you. You must respond to Requests within a reasonable time, but you are not obliged to accept any Request or contact any Employers that send aRequest to you.
Once an Employer has sent aRequest to you and you have responded to it, you may use other means of communication other than the Snatch platform to communicate with the Employer. Once you have received aRequest from an Employer, you agree not to attempt to circumvent Us by communicating outside Snatch’s platform after receiving such an Interview Request. We may remove any Candidate that attempts to do this.

After your registration as an Employer has been accepted on the Snatch platform, you will be able to browse Candidates on Snatch and submit Requests.
Once you have identified a Candidate on Snatch, you agree to initiate communication with the Candidate exclusively via aRequest on the Snatch platform. The Employer and the Candidate may use other means of communication once the Candidate has responded to the Request.
If a Candidate accepts a Job Offer, you agree to inform Snatch within five business days of the Candidate’s acceptance, and provide the details, including the Commencement Date, remuneration and duration, along with a copy of the final accepted offer or employment contract.

You shall also provide Snatch with a copy of your signed offer letter or employment contract containing the key terms of the Job Offer, including your Commencement Date and salary.
For Employers
If a Candidate was introduced by, or discovered through our platform and the Candidate accepts a Job Offer within a six month period of the Candidate’s Snatch profile being visible to the Employer, you as the Employer will be charged a Placement Fee, regardless of whether the Candidate accepted any form of InterviewRequest on our platform.

Snatch will invoice you within one (1) week of the Candidate’s Commencement Date and the Placement Fee shall be due thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date.
If you already had an Active Process with the Candidate, no Placement Fee will be due. An Active Process means that the Candidate was not rejected and that there was at least one communication (email, call, interview, ...) from each side in the last ninety (90) days in the context of a potential hiring.

Snatch offers a ninety (90) day guarantee period for all permanent appointments to which full reimbursement of the paid Placement Fee will be refunded to the Employer ifthe below conditions are met:

- The guarantee does not apply if the termination is as a result of retrenchment, changes in job responsibility, changes in job title or for reasons other than those under the candidate’s control.
- The guarantee does not apply if the Employer did not inform Snatch about the original Job Offer accepted by the Candidate.
- There is no guarantee on candidates converted from a contract assignment to a permanent assignment.
