2. Upon provision, by the Candidate, of a full and accurate resume, MP shall, at its sole discretion, search for suitable full-time or contract employment positions on behalf of the Candidate. The type of employment sought for the Candidate will be as detailed on the Candidate Information Form.

3. Before any work finding services are provided, the Candidate shall provide MP with satisfactory evidence of the Candidate’s identity which shall include, but not be limited to, a copy of the Candidate’s passport or drivers license. If, in respect of any prospective employment, the Candidate is required by law, any professional body or by the prospective hirer (“Client”) to hold or have any experience, training qualifications and/or authorizations, the Candidate shall provide MP with up to date copies of such qualifications and/or authorizations.

(i) up to date copies of such qualifications and/or authorizations; and (ii) the names of two references (who are not relatives of the Candidate).

(i) contacting the Candidate’s references; or (ii) disclosing information contained on the Candidate Information Form or the Candidate’s CV to a Client.

6. The Candidate should not engage in any conduct which is detrimental to the interests of MP, would negatively affect MP’s relationship with the Client or is likely to bring MP into disrepute.

7. An offer of employment is not made until written details are received from the Client. MP does not accept any responsibility and shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Candidate by reason of the Candidate’s decision to resign from his/her current employment or engagement whether, before or after receipt of any Client’s written offer of employment. Furthermore, MP does not accept any responsibility and shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Candidate by reason of the Client withdrawing the offer of employment at any time and for any reason.

8. An offer of employment made by a Client may be subject to conditions, including the Client obtaining satisfactory references or background checks on the Candidate.

9. The Candidate and MP acknowledge and agree that this agreement constitutes a contract for services and shall not create an employer/employee relationship between MP and the Candidate.

10. The parties acknowledge that they have required this agreement, as well as the documents, notices and legal proceedings, executed, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.
