How it works, key clauses, and the peace of mind it brings.<\/b><\/p>\n
Hiring a new team member is a big commitment; of time, money, and trust. And even with a great interview process, things don\u2019t always go to plan. Sometimes the fit isn\u2019t right. Sometimes candidates change their minds. Sometimes life just gets in the way.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s where a replacement guarantee comes in. It\u2019s one of the best things about working with a recruiter; and it\u2019s there to protect your investment and reduce the risk when hiring.<\/span><\/p>\n At Motion Recruitment, we take our guarantee seriously. Here\u2019s how it works, why it\u2019s structured the way it is, and what you should consider when evaluating any replacement policy.<\/span><\/p>\n Our guarantee is straightforward:\u00a0<\/span>If a candidate we place leaves or is terminated within 3 months of starting;for reasons like poor performance, incompetence, or negligence we\u2019ll find a replacement at no extra cost.<\/span><\/p>\n The same applies if the candidate resigns within 3 months. No questions asked, we\u2019ll get to work.<\/span><\/p>\n There are a few common-sense exceptions:<\/span><\/p>\n If the nature of the role has changed, we treat that as a new assignment.<\/span><\/p>\n Three months is sufficient timeframe for both sides to assess whether things are working. If a candidate can\u2019t perform in the role, or if they\u2019re not committed to staying, it usually becomes clear within that window. It also covers scenarios where candidates accept an offer but continue interviewing elsewhere (yes, it happens).<\/span><\/p>\n But here\u2019s the reality: once a candidate starts and is working under your direction, our influence drops off quickly. What happens in those early weeks has a huge impact on whether they stay.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to:<\/span><\/p>\n A guarantee is a safety net, not a substitute for onboarding and retention.<\/span><\/p>\n Some clients ask if we offer longer guarantee periods. And the answer is: we can, but like any insurance policy, extended cover comes at an additional cost.\u00a0<\/span>That said, if you\u2019re genuinely concerned about the risk of someone leaving early, the best investment might not be in a longer guarantee; it\u2019s in making sure the role, environment, and onboarding experience are as compelling as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Preventing the issue is always better than relying on a fallback.<\/span><\/p>\n Our goal is to fill your vacancy, not compete with your internal team or other recruiters. If you choose to engage others, that\u2019s totally fine, we’re happy to collaborate, but once the role is filled, the guarantee ends.<\/span><\/p>\n So, if you’d prefer us to take full accountability and handle the search from start to finish, exclusivity allows us to focus and deliver the best result without duplication or confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n If despite our best efforts, we\u2019re unable to find a suitable replacement and both parties agree it\u2019s not going to happen, we\u2019ll issue a Credit Note, valid for 6 months. This credit can be used once, exclusively with Motion Recruitment, on a future role, so it won\u2019t go to waste<\/span><\/p>\n You never want to use a replacement guarantee, just like you don\u2019t really want to make an insurance claim. But it\u2019s reassuring to know it\u2019s there.<\/span><\/p>\n At Motion Recruitment, we stand by our placements and want our clients to see real value in our service; not just at the offer stage, but well into onboarding and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A clear, practical guide to how our replacement guarantee works, what\u2019s covered, and why it gives you confidence and peace of mind when hiring with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":14970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"dark-header.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14967"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14972,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14967\/revisions\/14972"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/14970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motionrecruitment.com.au\/af-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How Does a Replacement Guarantee Work?<\/b><\/h3>\n
