5. Ontop Match Candidate Selection and Hiring Process 🔁

5.1  Job Position Requests. By signing up for Ontop Match Services as mentioned in Section 4.1 above, the Client provides the details about the desired Candidate, such as role and job description, among others (“Job Position Request”). The Candidate requirements in the Job Description request, such as compensation level and job description, need to be reasonable and proportionate to market conditions.

5.2 Kick-off Meeting. Within one (1) business day of the Job Position Request, or as otherwise scheduled by the Client, Ontop and one of its selected Partners (if applicable) will have an initial meeting with the Client in order to fully understand the Client’s needs for the specific position based on the basic information provided at signup  (“Kick-off Meeting”). 

5.3 Shortlist of Candidates. Search for Candidates. Once the Kick-off Meeting has been concluded, Ontop and/or its Partners will initiate the search for suitable Candidates. Within seven (7) business days of the Kick-off Meeting, Ontop will provide the Client with a shortlist of up to  five (5) Candidates.

5.3.1 Shortlists in cases of Candidate Scarcity. Depending on the profile and role complexity of the Candidate in question, as well as the prevalence of such individuals within the desired market, the number of Candidates in the shortlist provided to the Client may be lower than provided in Section 5.3 above. However, Ontop and its Partners will make all best efforts to find as many suitable Candidate matches as possible.

5.4 Initial Client Candidate Selection and Assessment Proposal. Once the Client has received the shortlist of Candidates, it will have three (3) business days to select those Candidates to move forward with the selection process. Together with the selected Candidates, the Client will send Ontop and/or its Partners an assessment proposal with additional criteria to evaluate certain technical abilities that the Candidate must possess for the position (“Assessment Proposal”).

5.5 Technical Assessment. Based on the Assessment Proposal, Ontop and/or its Partners may perform a technical assessment of the Candidates to determine their alignment with the role (“Technical Assessment”) within a reasonable timeline agreed upon with the Client. The criteria for elimination of Candidates will be applied if the Client has specified them in the Assessment Proposal. If conducting the Technical Assessment is not reasonably practicable by Ontop and/or its Partners, the Client will be responsible for conducting the Technical Assessment. 

5.6 Candidate Interview Process. Based on the results of the Technical Assessment and criteria for elimination provided by the Client, Ontop and/or its Partners will schedule interviews between the Client and the Candidates that have passed the Technical Assessment within a reasonable timeline. Given that interviews will depend on the availability of the Candidate and Client representatives, we make no guarantees in relation to the time period for conclusion of the interviews.

5.7 Additional Interviews. The Client may ask for additional interviews, but these must either be agreed upon with Ontop in advance or conducted by the Client independently, especially if the Client has their own advanced internal screening processes.

5.8 Client Responsibility for Interview/Selection Process. Clients are fully aware that Ontop and/or its Partners do not provide talent acquisition services that include advanced selection processes (which may include specialized testing of language proficiency or logic, among others), salary calculations for employees and/or job offer drafting, among others. Ontop and/or its Partners cannot search for Candidates in a specific city, country or region, nor can it respond to requests to search for native language speakers in a region that speaks a different language; the territory for seeking Candidates can be limited by geographical regions, and Ontop reserves the right to determine the extent of said regions according to its capabilities and will agree upon the regions with the Client. Similarly, Ontop does not perform requests to search for Candidates based on racial, ethnic or religious profiles or perform any discriminatory practices in identifying Candidates; however, Ontop reserves the right to accept or decline such requests from Clients on a case-by-case basis, if they are deemed reasonable under the circumstances. It is the Client’s  sole responsibility to ensure that the intended salary/compensation has a reasonable level of accuracy in relation to the job description, role/position and/or scope of services to be provided by the Candidate(s).

5.9 Client Final Selection of Candidates. Once the interview process is concluded, the Client will select the Candidate(s) to be hired as Workers on the Ontop Platform. The Client should inform Ontop and/or its Partners within a reasonable time period of final selection of Candidates.

5.10 Background Checks. Once the Client has successfully selected its intended Candidates, the Client may request that Ontop perform background checks on the Candidates outside of the Ontop Platform before they are onboarded as Workers on the Platform. In the event that a Client requests background checks, Ontop will charge an additional fee to the Ontop Match Fees.

5.11 Ontop Match Service Proposal. Unless stipulated otherwise in the service proposal provided by Ontop to the Client, Candidate selection process described in this Section 5 will be conducted within a reasonable time period. The service proposal may determine additional conditions for the selection process, as per negotiations between Ontop and the Client.
