Terms and Conditions
Last updated: June 2026
Talyn Recruitment Group (ABN 37 214 739 717) (“Talyn”, “we”, “us”), provides the recruitment services and website at talyn.com.au. By using this website, you agree to these terms.
1. Our services
Talyn is a permanent-placement recruitment agency. We connect candidates with employers for permanent roles. We do not guarantee that any search will result in a placement.
These terms cover your use of this website. They do not set the terms of a recruitment engagement. If you engage us to fill a role, that engagement is governed by our Terms of Business, and a copy is available on request. Nothing on this website forms part of that agreement. Where this website and the Terms of Business differ, the Terms of Business apply.
Our fees, salary bands and a summary of our guarantees are published on our pricing page. Those are summaries of the Terms of Business, not terms in their own right.
2. Fees, guarantees and the repeat discount: the short version
If a Talyn flyer or brochure pointed you here for our terms of business, this section is the short version of what that material claims, with the conditions that attach to each promise. It is a summary only. Every recruitment engagement is governed by our Terms of Business, which prevail where the two differ, and a copy is available on request from hello@talyn.com.au.
Every search is priced as one fixed fee, set by the band your hire’s total package (base salary, plus superannuation, plus any guaranteed extras) falls in and published on our pricing page. The $800 engagement fee is payable to commence the search. It is charged once per role brief we take on, it is charged on top of the fixed fee rather than inside it, and it is never credited back against it. It is refundable in one case only: under the shortlist guarantee below. All figures are exclusive of GST.
The shortlist guarantee: if we have not delivered a shortlist worth interviewing within 30 days of your engagement-fee payment reaching us, you can end the engagement and take a full refund of the engagement fee. The refund is claimed, not automatic: you claim it by telling us in writing that you are ending the engagement. The clock counts only the days we are not waiting on you, so days spent waiting on your feedback, information or availability extend it.
The replacement guarantee: if your hire resigns within 120 days of starting, or you end their employment within 90 days, we run the search again and replace them at no further fixed fee. Claim it in writing within 14 days of the candidate’s last day. It applies where the role, reporting line, package and conditions are materially what was presented to the candidate at offer, and where the fee for the placement has been paid in full (a missed payment gets written notice and 7 days before the guarantee lapses). The remedy is a replacement search, not a refund of the fixed fee.
Invoices and billing: invoices and payment reminders are sent from accounts@talyn.com.au, and that address is also printed on every invoice. It is the only address we send invoices from. We will never email you to say our bank details have changed — if you receive a message that does, it is not from us; call us on +61 451 854 889 before acting on it.
The repeat discount: once we have placed someone with you, any further placement starting within 6 months of your most recent hire’s start date is charged at 20% off the fixed fee for its band, and each qualifying placement resets the window. The engagement fee is never discounted.
Exclusivity, and what “no lock-in” means: the fixed fee buys an exclusive search, so while a search runs the role goes through us and you pause your own advertising for it. “No lock-in” means there is no retainer, no subscription and no ongoing commitment beyond the search you have engaged us for. You can end an engagement at any time; outside the shortlist guarantee above, the engagement fee is not refunded. An introduction stays ours for 12 months: engage someone we introduced inside that window, in the same or a substantially similar role, and the applicable fixed fee applies.
Speed: our printed material quotes a first shortlist inside 72 hours. That is the target we run the search to, not a contractual deadline, and the roughly 17-day brief-to-offer timeline is a typical figure, not a commitment. The commitment that carries a remedy is the 30-day shortlist guarantee above.
3. Using this website
You may use this website to view roles, apply for roles, and make enquiries. You agree to use it lawfully, and not to interfere with its operation, misuse it, or attempt to gain unauthorised access. We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of the website at any time.
Role listings on this website are provided by the employer. We publish them in good faith, but we do not warrant that the details are accurate or current, and a listing is not an offer of employment. We may edit or remove a listing at any time.
You may not use automated means to access, copy or extract any part of this website or its content, including scraping, data mining, or harvesting candidate or employer information. This does not apply to search engines indexing the site in the ordinary way.
4. Applying and enquiring
When you apply for a role or send us an enquiry, you agree that the information you provide is true, accurate, and yours to share. If you apply for a role, you confirm you’re entitled to work in Australia in the way you’ve indicated. We handle the personal information you give us in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We never charge candidates a fee. Our fees are paid by employers.
With your consent, we may verify what you have told us, including checking references, qualifications and your right to work in Australia.
5. If you’re an employer
If you send us a role brief or an enquiry through this website, you agree that the information you give us is accurate and lawful, that you are authorised to share it, and that what you are asking us to do complies with applicable employment, anti-discrimination and privacy laws.
Do not use this website to obtain information about candidates for any purpose other than filling the role you have described, and do not use it for any unlawful or misleading purpose.
If you go on to engage us to fill that role, the engagement is governed by our Terms of Business, not by this page.
6. Indicative figures
Any fees, salary bands, comparisons or example costs shown in Talyn’s marketing materials (including printed flyers, brochures and leave-behinds) are indicative only and provided for general illustration. Comparisons to percentage-based recruitment fees reference a typical industry range of 15 – 20% of salary; actual third-party fees vary and some providers may charge more or less. Talyn’s current fees are those published at talyn.com.au. They replace any figure shown in earlier printed or dated marketing material. They do not change the fees agreed in a Terms of Business already in place. All figures are exclusive of GST unless stated.
7. Intellectual property
The content, design, and branding of this website belong to Talyn or our licensors. You may view and use the site for its intended purpose, but you may not copy, reproduce, or reuse any part of it without our permission.
8. Other websites
Our website may link to third-party sites, such as job boards. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.
9. Availability and liability
We take reasonable care to keep this website accurate and available, but we provide it “as is” and can’t guarantee it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the website or reliance on its content.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded. Where our liability can’t be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to resupplying the relevant service or paying the cost of having it resupplied.
10. Suspending access
We may restrict or suspend your access to the website if you breach these terms or misuse the service.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of Victoria.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be available at talyn.com.au/terms.
