GigSmart’s Direct Hire Policy

Pay a $500 placement fee for each Shift Gig worker you choose to engage with outside of GigSmart’s platform.

Please review GigSmart’s Terms of Use.

 

Direct Hire language listed below.

In the event Requester or any Requester director, officer, or employee (collectively, “Requester Personnel”) desires to Hire or otherwise directly engage a GigSmart worker outside of the GigSmart platform in the three (3) months following Requester’s or any Requester Personnel’s last contact with GigSmart worker through the GigSmart platform, Requester will notify GigSmart and subsequently, Requester will be billed and Requester agrees to pay a “Hiring Fee” sum of $500.

In the event Requester does not notify GigSmart within fifteen (15) days that it has Hired a GigSmart worker, Requester shall be obligated to immediately pay to GigSmart $2,500 for each such GigSmart worker it has Hired. The amounts described in both instances (i.e., with or without notice from Requester) shall be referred to as the “Direct Hiring Fee”.

Such Direct Hire Fee shall be charged regardless of whether: (a) GigSmart worker contacts Requester or applies to Requester independently or otherwise through a public job posting or other job board; (b) different Requester Personnel are involved in the direct Hire of the GigSmart worker and previous engagement of the GigSmart worker through the GigSmart platform; or (c) Requester notifies GigSmart of such direct Hire or engagement of the GigSmart worker. Any hire or engagement of the GigSmart worker by Requester set forth above shall be defined as a “Hire” and shall trigger the Direct Hire Fee, including a full-time hire, part-time hire, independent contractor hire, intern hire, or any other such engagement where GigSmart workers receive any compensation from Requester. In addition, “Hire” also shall include any situation where Requester who had contact with GigSmart worker through the GigSmart platform provides any information regarding GigSmart worker to a third party and that third party hires GigSmart worker within the three (3) month period, in any capacity, whether a full-time hire, part-time hire, independent contractor hire, intern hire, or any other such engagement or relationship where GigSmart worker receives any compensation, directly or indirectly, from Requester and/or the third party.

GigSmart will use the payment form on the Requester’s account to satisfy the billed amount unless otherwise notified or requested by the Requester in accordance with Section 6 “Payment and Fees”.
