These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the website operated at www.miltoncontracts.co.uk (the "Site") and the recruitment services provided by Milton Contracts Ltd ("Milton Contracts", "we", "us" or "our"). By using the Site or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms in full.
Milton Contracts Ltd is a private limited company registered in England & Wales under company number 14082971, with its registered office at The Willows, Stroude Road, Egham, England, TW20 9UW.
We are an employment business and employment agency within the meaning of the Employment Agencies Act 1973 and the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 ("Conduct Regulations").
You may use the Site for your own personal and non-commercial use, or for the purpose of evaluating, instructing or being instructed by us in relation to recruitment services. You may not use the Site:
If you register a candidate or client account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access. We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion where we reasonably suspect misuse.
Job advertisements published on the Site are intended as an invitation to candidates to apply for the role described. Whilst we take reasonable care to ensure the accuracy of role descriptions, we make no warranty that any role described will remain available, will be at the salary or rate stated, or that any application will result in an interview or offer.
Some advertisements may relate to roles which have already been filled but remain published while we collect CVs for similar opportunities. Where this is the case, applicants will be informed and may be considered for alternative positions.
By submitting your CV or registration details to us, you confirm that:
We comply with all applicable provisions of the Conduct Regulations 2003. We will provide candidates with all required information about a role and the engaging client before introduction. Candidates may opt out of certain Conduct Regulation protections in writing where lawful to do so (typically for limited company contractors).
We are required by law to verify the right to work of every candidate we introduce or supply. You must be willing to provide original right-to-work documentation in accordance with Home Office guidance. We use a Home Office-approved Identity Service Provider (IDSP) where applicable.
Our recruitment services are provided to clients on the basis of our standard Terms of Business for Permanent Recruitment, Contract Recruitment or such other engagement terms as are agreed in writing. These Terms supplement, but do not replace, our Terms of Business.
Fees are payable in accordance with the engagement terms agreed. Our standard fee structures are summarised on our For Employers page but are subject to written confirmation in any engagement.
| Service | Standard Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contingent Permanent | 18% of first-year salary | Inclusive of bonus where guaranteed |
| Retained Permanent | 22% of first-year salary | Engagement, shortlist and placement instalments |
| Contract / Interim | 15% margin on agreed day rate | Inclusive of compliance and administration |
| Executive Search | 30% of total package + engagement fee | By separate retained agreement |
For contingent permanent placements, the following rebate applies if the candidate's employment terminates within the periods stated below:
Rebates apply only where the placement fee has been paid in full within the contractual payment terms and where termination is not the result of redundancy, role change or change of business circumstances.
An introduction fee is payable if the client engages a candidate introduced by us, whether for the role originally discussed or any other role, within 12 months of introduction. This applies whether the engagement is direct, through a third party, or through a connected entity.
