HR can accept no liability for the integrity of professional qualification capabilities or medical history in respect of any Candidate introduced nor are references sought unless specifically requested in writing.
9. The Client shall be responsible for obtaining work and other permits, medical examinations and/or investigations into the medical history of any Candidate, and satisfy any medical and other requirements or qualifications required by law and/or the immigration authorities.
