Recruitment Terms for Employers

Last updated: May 18, 2026

These Recruitment Terms govern the relationship between Dmytro Bezrukov, Tachora — sole proprietorship, Neue Grabenstraße 24, 32657 Lemgo, Germany ("Tachora") and the employer when Tachora provides recruitment intermediation for professional drivers. They supplement the Terms of Service and apply exclusively to businesses within the meaning of § 14 BGB. The German version is legally binding.

§ 1 Scope

Tachora offers employers the intermediation of professional drivers (CE-class and others). Tachora's activity is limited to intermediation only. Tachora is not the employer of the placed drivers, does not provide labour leasing within the meaning of the German AÜG (Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz) and does not engage in any form of temporary work.

§ 2 Order of priority — individual agreements prevail

Where individual arrangements deviate from these Terms, the following hierarchy applies:

  1. individual written agreement (recruitment contract);
  2. offer or order confirmation in text form;
  3. these general Recruitment Terms.

Alternative pricing, payment models, due dates or success conditions may be agreed individually in writing; in that case the individual agreement prevails over these general terms.

§ 3 Obligations of the employer

  • provide accurate information about the advertised position (duties, work location, remuneration, contract type, shift model where applicable, required qualifications);
  • independently verify all employment-relevant documents of the driver, in particular driving licence CE, Code 95, driver card, ADR certificate (where applicable), work permit / residence title and proof of identity;
  • comply with all labour-, social-security-, payroll-tax- and immigration-law obligations towards the hired driver;
  • notify Tachora of conclusion, non-conclusion or early termination of the employment relationship as far as this is relevant for invoicing of the placement fee;
  • treat the application materials confidentially; in particular, do not share them with third parties without the applicant's consent.

§ 4 Tachora's role and duties

  • Tachora performs a plausibility check of intermediated candidates based on the data provided by the candidate.
  • Tachora does not warrant the correctness of candidate statements, in particular regarding driving licences, certificates, experience, criminal record or medical fitness; verification is the employer's responsibility (§ 3).
  • Tachora may refuse or remove applications, employers or job postings that violate applicable law, public policy or these Terms, without prior notice.

§ 5 Recruitment fee — principle

The amount of the recruitment fee follows from the individually agreed offer, order or recruitment contract (§ 2). A binding flat-rate fee is not stipulated in these general Terms.

Where no deviating model is agreed, the following standard model applies by way of example. It applies only if the parties have expressly or implicitly (e.g. by accepting a corresponding order confirmation) adopted it.

§ 6 Standard model (example)

  • € 250 net upon conclusion of the employment contract between employer and driver;
  • € 500 net after completion of the first working week of the driver in an unterminated position;
  • total: € 750 net per successfully placed driver.

Alternative models may be agreed individually, for example:

  • € 200 net for a contact-only referral;
  • € 500 net for a basic recruitment;
  • € 750 net for a standard recruitment;
  • € 1,000–1,500 net for a premium recruitment;
  • customer-specific compensation under a separate framework agreement.

All prices are subject to statutory VAT applicable at the time of invoicing; see the note on the pricing page.

§ 7 Due date and payment

  • The recruitment fee falls due upon receipt of the respective invoice.
  • Payment term: 7 days from invoice date, unless otherwise agreed.
  • In case of late payment, the employer owes interest and dunning costs at the statutory rate (in particular § 288 BGB).
  • Set-off or assertion of a right of retention is only permitted for undisputed or finally adjudicated claims.

§ 8 Refund on early termination

If individually agreed, Tachora may refund part of the fee or offer a replacement candidate where the driver leaves before the end of an agreed probation period. Without an explicit written agreement there is no claim to refund or replacement intermediation.

§ 9 No success guarantee

As an intermediary, Tachora does not owe success. In particular, no warranty is given that a position will be filled, that a driver will accept an offer, or that an accepted position will continue for any specific duration.

§ 10 Data protection

Candidate data are transferred to the employer only with the candidate's explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). On receipt of the candidate data, the employer becomes the independent controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR and must comply with the GDPR, in particular as regards information duties (Art. 13/14 GDPR), retention periods and data subject rights.

§ 11 Liability

Tachora is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health and for damages caused by intent or gross negligence. Otherwise liability is limited in accordance with § 13 of the Terms of Service.

§ 12 Term and termination

Recruitment orders run as open-ended framework agreements unless otherwise agreed individually. They may be terminated by either party with 14 days' notice in text form. Recruitment processes already in progress are completed under the agreed conditions.

§ 13 Governing law / jurisdiction

German law applies excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Exclusive place of jurisdiction is Tachora's seat in Lemgo.
