Terms and conditions

1. About the scheme

The Refer a Client scheme (the "scheme") is run by Charisma Recruitment Ltd, Company Number 04530843 ("Charisma", "we", "us"). It lets you introduce organisations that may need our help with recruitment, and it lets us say thank you if your introduction leads to work. By submitting a referral you agree to these terms.

2. Who can take part

  • You must be 18 or over.

  • Our employees and contractors, and their close family members, cannot receive a thank-you under the scheme.

  • You must be free to make the introduction. It must not break your contract of employment, a duty of confidentiality or any other agreement.

3. What counts as a referral

  • You can refer an organisation through the form on our website, by email to a member of our team that mentions the scheme and names the organisation and a contact there, or by the organisation telling us when it instructs us that you introduced it.

  • The work must be a recruitment service we offer, at any level, including trustee and board recruitment. Other services do not qualify unless we agree in writing.

  • We are not obliged to approach every organisation that is referred to us.

4. The thank-you

  • If a referred organisation instructs us on qualifying work and we complete the search as a direct result of your introduction, we will say thank you with a £200 voucher, or a £200 donation to a charity of your choice. This applies once per referred organisation.

  • We will send the thank-you within 30 days of receiving our fee in full for that search and the refund guarantee period having passed.

  • Vouchers are sent by email to the address on the form. Donations are made directly to the registered charity you name, and we will let you know when it has been made.

  • If you work for the referred organisation, or for an employer with rules about accepting gifts, please choose the donation.

5. When no thank-you is due

We will not give a thank-you if:

  • we refund or reduce our fee

  • the organisation decides not to go ahead, or withdraws from the search

  • we were already working with the organisation on that specific role, or would have been instructed without your introduction (if we believe this, we will explain why)

  • more than one person refers the same organisation, in which case the first referral we receive qualifies

  • giving the thank-you would break the law, including the Bribery Act 2010, or would be an improper inducement or a breach of trust

6. Information you give us

  • You must make sure that sharing someone's contact details with us does not breach data protection law or any duty you owe.

  • We use the details you give us only to deal with your referral, to contact the person you name, and to thank you. We handle them under the UK GDPR and our privacy policy.

  • We will mention your name when we approach the organisation unless you have told us not to do this (if you do ask to remain anonymous we will discuss this with you beforehand as it reduces the chance of us accepting the referral).

7. Tax

A voucher or other thank-you may count as taxable income for you. It is your responsibility to declare it and pay any tax due. We cannot give tax advice.

8. Changes to the scheme

We may change or end the scheme at any time. Referrals you made before a change will be treated under the terms in force when you made them. We may decline a referral or withhold a thank-you if we reasonably believe these terms have been broken.

9. General

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Declaration (the consent line on the form): I confirm that I have read and agree to the terms and conditions, and I am happy for Charisma to contact the person I have named.
