Upon The Agency recommending such candidates to MY CONSULTANT, MY CONSULTANT may interview such candidates in accordance with standard MY CONSULTANT practice and appoint them to temporary or permanent jobs in MY CONSULTANT if found suitable for the same. MY CONSULTANT shall not be liable for any claim made by a candidate who is short listed by The Agency as being a suitable candidate but is not recruited by MY CONSULTANT for any reason whatsoever and The Agency shall indemnify MY CONSULTANT from any loss, damages or costs (including, without limitation, legal costs and disbursements on a full indemnity basis) suffered on account of any such claims.

The Agency shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MY CONSULTANT and its managing directors, officers, partners, employees and agents against all liability and claims arising from such checking or testing from the candidates and the use and reporting of any results, but only to the extent that MY CONSULTANT uses such background checking and testing information for determining the eligibility of such candidates.

Payment of Professional Fees: The applicable professional fee (set out in clause 2 above) shall only apply once MY CONSULTANT employs an individual (as evidenced by a signed employment contract between such individual and MY CONSULTANT) as a direct result of the Permanent staffing services.
