This document governs the terms of the Advisor Program (the "Program"), through which CodeMatch grants a reward ("bounty") to the Advisor who refers a suitable Candidate who, following the referral, is hired by a Company within the 6-month Protection Period.
The Program is intended solely for entities acting for professional purposes (B2B). It creates no employment relationship, agency or permanent mandate with representation; the Advisor acts as an independent professional/occasional intermediary.
These conditions are independent of the terms directed to Clients/Companies of the matching service and prevail, for the Program, over any general information published on the site.
Enrollment occurs via the "Become an Advisor" form on the site. CodeMatch sends confirmation via email and subsequent communications on opportunities only for senior positions with GAS > €60,000. Acceptance of these conditions occurs upon confirmation of enrollment.
CodeMatch may refuse or terminate enrollment in case of profile inconsistencies, violations or improper use of the Program.
The Advisor does not represent CodeMatch nor is authorized to conclude contracts or make commitments on behalf of CodeMatch or the Companies.
Before submitting a Referral, the Advisor guarantees to have obtained from the Candidate informed and documented consent for sharing professional contact data with CodeMatch and interest in being contacted for job opportunities, or to have another adequate legal basis under GDPR (art. 6).
At the first contact, CodeMatch will provide the Candidate with the privacy notice as data controller. The Advisor will not submit special categories of data (art. 9 GDPR).
The Advisor indemnifies CodeMatch from claims arising from Referrals made without an adequate legal basis or in violation of the Candidate's GDPR/privacy rights.
A Referral is valid if it includes at least: name, contact information and, where possible, a professional link (e.g., LinkedIn/GitHub) related to the role indicated by CodeMatch.
For the same Candidate and Company/role, the bounty is owed to the Advisor whose Referral was first received by CodeMatch and deemed valid.
The bounty is not due if, on the date of the Referral:
The Protection Period of the Referral is 6 months from the date of receipt. If the Hiring occurs within this period, the bounty is guaranteed in accordance with articles 7-8.
The bounty is communicated case by case in communications relating to the position. For the first 10 admitted Advisors, the 5% rate is locked for life for qualified positions. Any caps or special conditions are specified in the role communication.
The GAS considered is the fixed gross annual salary agreed in the Hiring contract (excluding variable bonuses, MBO, stock/equity and benefits in kind, unless otherwise agreed in writing). For part-time, the pro rata applies; for collaborations/project contracts, the bounty is calculated on the annualized value of the fixed compensation.
The bounty accrues when the Hiring is finalized and becomes payable after 30 calendar days from the Candidate's start date.
If within 6 months the Hiring is converted between comparable contract types or the fixed GAS is renegotiated, the bounty remains due on the GAS set in the first contract.
The Advisor is responsible for their own tax and social security obligations. CodeMatch may request KYC documents and apply withholdings where required by law. Where the Advisor is VAT-registered, they will issue an invoice to CodeMatch; otherwise, CodeMatch may request appropriate receipts for accounting purposes.
The bounty is paid via bank transfer or other systems indicated by CodeMatch, within 30 days from accrual and due date (art. 7.3) and from receipt of the correct invoice/receipt.
Unless otherwise stated in the specific role communication.
CodeMatch reserves the right to conduct anti-fraud checks (including minimal evidence such as referral timestamps, audit logs, requests for proof of consent).
Information on roles, processes and Companies received by the Advisor is confidential and may be used only for Program purposes. Disclosure to third parties without CodeMatch's written consent is prohibited.
The Program is open-ended. CodeMatch may modify or terminate it with 7 days' notice via email/notice on the site.
Changes do not retroactively affect bounties already accrued pursuant to articles 6-8.
Each party may withdraw at any time; amounts accrued before withdrawal remain due.
Use of CodeMatch trademarks, logos or materials without written authorization is prohibited. All intellectual property rights remain with CodeMatch.
CodeMatch does not guarantee the Hiring of candidates or specific results; the obligation is one of means.
Except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, any liability toward the Advisor is limited to the amount of bounty accrued and not yet paid for the specific Referral.
These conditions are governed by Italian law.
Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Milan.
