Refund Policy
Last updated: 10 February 2024
Gold Star Management operates on a service-based model. This policy outlines our refund and replacement terms for client businesses. Candidate placement services are provided free of charge, so this policy does not apply to individual job seekers.
1. Service Fee Structure
Gold Star Management charges service fees to client businesses (hotels, resorts, restaurants) for staffing and management services. These fees are agreed upon in writing before services commence. Fees vary based on:
- •The type and seniority of the position being filled
- •Number of staff being placed
- •Type of service (recruitment only vs. full management)
- •Duration of the engagement
2. Replacement Guarantee
We are committed to successful placements. Gold Star Management offers a replacement guarantee under the following conditions:

- •The candidate fails to meet the agreed job requirements within the first 30 days of placement.
Not Eligible for Replacement
- •Terminations resulting from changes in the client's business requirements or structure.
- •Dismissals due to the client's own management decisions unrelated to candidate performance.
- •Positions terminated due to seasonal closure or force majeure events.
- •Requests made after the defined guarantee period has elapsed.
3. Refund Eligibility
Monetary refunds of service fees may be considered in the following circumstances:
- •Service Not Delivered: A full refund will be issued if Gold Star Management is unable to provide the agreed service after payment has been received.
- •Duplicate Payment: If a duplicate payment is made in error, the excess amount will be refunded in full within 7 business days.
