Nicheton has outlined a comprehensive replacement guarantee policy as follows:

For permanent placements, Nicheton offers a generous benefit - a complimentary replacement if the resource chooses to leave the company voluntarily within 90 days of joining.

In cases where the departure is involuntary, meaning the resource is terminated by the company, Nicheton adopts a careful and considerate approach. Each situation is assessed individually, and a decision regarding replacement is made based on the unique circumstances surrounding the exit.

It's essential to note that Nicheton operates on a fundamental principle: the responsibility of selecting a suitable candidate that aligns with the organization's requirements lies with the customer. After the resource joins the company, if any performance-related issues arise due to reasons such as a lack of attention to detail, competency issues, ethical concerns, unprofessional behavior, problems with leadership or management, legal complications, and more, these issues fall outside of Nicheton's control. Consequently, the guarantee of replacement cannot be assured in such instances.
