Intellectual Property

AZ-Tech Recruitment & Contracting Pty Ltd requires all Contractors servicing clients on site to acknowledge that all intellectual property rights (including programs, systems, client information, manuals, designs, plans, disks, drawings, specifications, materials and records), conceived, developed, written or otherwise created by AZ-Tech contractors at the request of the clients, or in the general course of providing services, whether during or outside working hours, are and shall remain the property of the client

Return of Documents

Upon expiration or termination of contracting arrangements or sooner if the company requests, contractors must return (without making or retaining copies), all documents, products, disks, plans, drawings, specifications, programs and other records and materials owned by the client.

Confidentiality

Excepting with the prior written consent of the client, AZ-Tech Recruitment & Contracting Pty Ltd and/or its contracting personnel shall not at any time, after engagements have commenced or ceased, disclose to any other person, firm or corporation, its' business activities or trade secrets which may have been acquired during the currency of a project and/or assignment, nor will either party attempt to use such confidential information in any manner other than as necessary to carry out agreed, legitimate activities on behalf of the client.

Conflict of Interest

AZ-Tech Recruitment and Contracting Pty Ltd and/or its contracting personnel shall at all times use its best efforts to ensure that no action is taken by itself, which could or might result in the existence of conditions prejudicial or in conflict with the best interests of the client. Our policy is to ensure that potential candidates are kept fully informed of the progress of their application and no introduction is made without their agreement. Once engaged, contractors are required to sign a contract with us that protects your interests in respect of Commercial In Confidence, Security & Safety policy.

Payment Terms

We pay our contractors weekly by EFT and we invoice our clients weekly, unless special alternate arrangements are agreed between the parties in advance.  Therefore please discuss any special requirements that you may have with your consultant.   We request our invoices be paid promptly within 14 days of receipt of invoice as a matter of understanding that the employment costs are incurred in the week prior to the invoice issue.  We acknowledge that until such time as we cycle within the client's accounting system, initial temporary delays can occur.   However these need to be negotiated at the time of contract implementation rather than when a payment falls into arrears.

Quality Assurance

The Directors and Managers share equal responsibility for our Business Management Systems (QA System)

We adhere to the Code of Ethics of the RCSA (our relevant industry association) and State Code of Conduct framework covering the recruitment industry.  The Principal Consultants have completed special tertiary training in the engineering field as well as RSCA approved training to qualify as Professional Consultants.  Between them, the Consulting team has more than 36 years of recruitment practice experience operating under these standards.

We use a documented procedure for handling complaints as per SA 4-01 Business Management Administration, Section 6.  We perform our own regular Internal Quality Appraisal Audits, in line with ISO9002. Our first audit was undertaken in 1/11/97 for the first completion of our own complete system by Audit Consultant, Mr Graham Blackman, of Quadnet Pty Ltd (Quality Consulting Services).

We have since completed an internal document control system under which we operate to this day.

At this time we have elected not to pursue full external accreditation due to the size of this business and the fact that operations within our small, cohesive team have proven highly effective without need of an externally controlled audit regime.  We review these decisions at regular Directors' meetings, with the intent of meeting the changing needs of the market within the capacity of our operating structure as necessary.
