It is the WisGen’s responsibility to read and understand these requirements prior to offering services to the Recruiter for any Roles.

7. Contracting between Users

Default: Model 1: Contract between Users

  • Upon payment of Subscription Fee by the Recruiter, the Role as created by the Recruiter, will be visible/published on the Platform and all registered WisGen will have access/visibility to such a Role. The details of a Role as posted by the Recruiter such as job description, roles and responsibilities, salary, tenure, nature of employment will be visible on the Platform and the WisGen will have the ability to apply for such a Role on the Platform by submitting their interest/proposal (“Application”) on the Platform as sought by the Recruiter.
  • This Application once submitted on the Platform will be visible to the Recruiter (for the Roles listed by them). The Recruiter will have a right to choose/select a candidate/WisGen who is best suited to its requirements. Upon acceptance of such Application by the Recruiter, a valid agreement will come in force between the Recruiter and WisGen. This agreement will be directly entered into between the Recruiter and WisGen and they will be solely responsible for the adherence to the terms and obligations contained therein.
  • WisdomCircle is not a party to the contracts entered into directly between WisGen and Recruiters, nor is WisdomCircle a recruitment agency, or an adviser. WisdomCircle is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any WisGen or Recruiter.
  • The Users will enter into a separate binding agreement pursuant to these Terms, the Users hereby agree that WisdomCircle shall not be a party to such agreement and WisdomCircle shall not be liable for breach of any contractual obligations arising out of such agreement. Any terms or conditions that the Users include in any agreement between them must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, WisdomCircle’s Privacy Policy, and the information provided in the listing, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in the Recruiter’s description of the Roles on the Platform. A renewal of such agreement between Users should be informed to WisdomCircle and must comply with these Terms.
  • As far as the Platform is concerned as soon as the Recruiter changes the WisGen’s Application status to “Hired”, a valid agreement comes into existence between Users and upon such action by the Recruiter, he/she will be required to make a payment of a percentage of the first year’s compensation as agreed between the Recruiters and WisdomCircle (“Placement Fee”). Placement Fee to be paid by the Recruiter to WisdomCircle immediately upon hiring the WisGen on the Platform. WisdomCircle has the right to provide concession/discount to Recruiters on the Placement Fee as per its own discretion.
  • The Recruiter agrees and acknowledges that the payment of the Subscription Fee and Placement Fee is mandatory, and any breach of this obligation will entitle WisdomCircle to terminate its relationship with the Recruiter as per the Terms and forfeit the amount of Subscription Fee as paid by the Recruiters. Such nonpayment would result in a breach of these Terms, for which WisdomCircle will have the right to seek appropriate remedy in court of law.
  • If the Recruiters after appointment/engagement of the WisGen, are not satisfied with the performance of the WisGen, the Recruiters may terminate the services of such WisGen as per the terms of the agreement as entered between the Users. In such a scenario, WisdomCircle shall have no obligation towards the WisGen to enable them to find a suitable alternate Role or for any loss of income. On the other hand, WisdomCircle shall have no obligation towards the Recruiters to refund them the Subscription Fee and the Placement Fee for such a Role. Only in the scenario where the Recruiters & WisdomCircle have agreed, prior to posting a Role, that WisdomCircle will offer a ‘2-month replacement guarantee’ will WisdomCircle be responsible for finding 1 replacement WisGen.
  • WisdomCircle may, in case the Recruiter hires the new WisGen at a higher compensation/salary, collect the additional Placement Fee from the Recruiters. In case, the Recruiter is not satisfied or wants to terminate the services of the WisGen second time  for the same Role, the Recruiter can proceed with the same as per the terms of the agreement between the Users. WisdomCircle in such a case shall not have any liability/responsibility towards the Recruiters and/or the WisGen.

Model 2: Consultancy Arrangement via WisdomCircle

  • By default, Model 1 applies to all Users. Recruiters have the option to opt for/avail for Model 2 (“Consultancy Arrangement”) by discussing this with the WisdomCircle team at the time of payment of the Subscription Fee. WisdomCircle has the sole discretion to agree or not agree to the Consultancy Arrangement.

In the case that WisdomCircle allows the Recruiter to avail for the Consultancy Arrangement model, the terms of such Consultancy Arrangement will be governed by the following terms [Model 2 T&Cs.] (“Model 2 Terms”). The Model 2 Terms will be visible to all Users. However, once the Recruiters enroll in/opt for the Consultancy Arrangement model, the Model 2 Terms will become effective/applicable vis-a-vis the Recruiters. In the case of WisGen, once the WisGen are hired under the Consultancy Arrangement model, the Model 2 Terms will apply to the WisGen as well.
