Practice question
A person offers employment to one applicant for a fee and takes concrete steps to enlist that applicant. The defense relies only on the absence of a second applicant. The question concerns the definition, not whether all criminal elements are proved. Which is correct?
- The basic acts may fall within recruitment despite only one applicant.
- The proviso automatically excludes every one-person transaction.
- The basic definition applies only to groups.
- A fee converts recruitment into an unrelated activity.
- Only the job’s eventual employer can recruit.
