4. Performance Analysis

Visage is dedicated to utilizing the best resources as a representation of its services to its clients.    Visage limits Recruiter participation to only those Recruiters who perform in accordance with the performance standards set by Visage.

You will be measured and monitored against your overall success percentage on a weekly/monthly basis (i.e. the amount of Approved CV’s against the total submitted) and this will be displayed to you on your user page in the Recruitment Portal. Visage reserves the right to set specific success % targets against which you will be measured.

Visage will, at all times, attempt to provide feedback to you on your performance and provide assistance in understanding why your performance may be below the standard required.  Visage may suspend and/or remove your eligibility to submit further CV’s should you not meet these targets. Prior warning will be given pending a suspension and a set target given within a defined time frame to allow you to make the improvement required and to continue to remain an active recruiter on the Recruiter Portal. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you do not submit any duplicated resumes which you have already submitted yourself, and to ensure you do not submit any fake email ID’s.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Visage Recruiting Portal is available to you in Visage’s sole and absolute discretion. Participation as a Recruiter is discretionary, and Visage may suspend or terminate participation at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion.

In instances where Visage determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that candidate’s CV’s and related data have been falsified, misrepresented, violates applicable laws, or otherwise violates the terms and conditions set forth herein, Visage reserves the right to immediately terminate your account.  Recruiter shall be ineligible to receive Bounty payments for any Approved CV’s that violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
