Practice question
A placement operator advertises free recruitment to workers. Every employer must pay its affiliated collection unit a service fee for each successful placement, and the operator acknowledges that this is payment for its recruitment service. It claims to be a private recruitment entity because no worker pays it directly. Which is the best classification?
- Private recruitment entity because only worker-paid fees count
- Private recruitment entity because using an affiliate always defeats indirect charging
- Private fee-charging employment agency because direct or indirect employer-paid recruitment fees are covered
- Public employment office because the worker-facing advertisement says free
- Neither category because successful placement cannot be recruitment
