Fees, Guarantees & Policies
Details regarding our fee structures, placement guarantees, and the ethical standards guiding our recruitment practices.
Does CA Mining guarantee placements?
No recruitment firm can ethically guarantee every placement, as final hiring decisions and on-the-job performance are ultimately driven by the client and the individual.
However, CA Mining stands by the quality of our work. We follow a rigorous screening process and, where agreed, offer replacement or support terms as part of our service level agreements to help mitigate hiring risk for our clients.
What is the fee structure for employers?
Our fee structure is tailored to the role type, seniority and service model selected. We offer retained search, contingency and premium contingency options, as well as project and RPO-style solutions for larger hiring campaigns.
Fees are typically calculated as a percentage of the candidate’s annual remuneration package and agreed with the client upfront, along with any exclusivity, payment and replacement terms.
Does CA Mining charge candidates a fee for recruitment services?
No, CA Mining does not charge candidates any fees for recruitment services. Our fees are paid by the hiring company.
We believe in fair and transparent recruitment practices and are committed to supporting professionals in their career development without financial barriers.
What happens if a client already knows a candidate presented by CA Mining?
In such cases, we assess whether the client had an active, documented process with that candidate prior to our introduction (for example, recent direct engagement or an existing application for the same role).
Where our approach, screening and representation have added value and directly contributed to the hiring outcome, our standard fee and terms usually apply. This is always clarified with clients in line with our agreed terms of business.
Does CA Mining recruit from its existing clients?
We follow strict ethical guidelines regarding non-solicitation and candidate approaches. As a principle, we do not actively target employees from clients with whom we have an agreed partnership or active assignments, unless there is explicit consent or a clear, exceptional circumstance.
Our aim is to build long-term, trust-based relationships, and we respect the talent and business interests of our clients.
