Practice question: Employment Agency vs. Recruitment Entity

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

Two private organizations refer applicants to local employers. Organization A receives no direct or indirect fees from either side. Organization B charges applicants a placement fee and calls its operating document an authority. Assuming each must obtain the document corresponding to its actual category, which pairing is correct?
  1. A needs a license and B needs an authority
  2. Both need an authority because both refer workers
  3. Both need a license because every referral is fee-charging
  4. A is a private recruitment entity requiring authority; B is a fee-charging agency requiring a license
  5. Neither requires a document because the placements are local
