Practice question
An employer holds a limited direct-hire exemption for its own employment arrangement. It uses the document as an unrestricted authority to recruit workers for unrelated overseas employers. No separate authority exists. Which is sound?
- Every exemption is a general recruitment license.
- That broader authority does not follow merely from the limited exemption.
- Recruiting for unrelated employers is always unrestricted.
- The exemption automatically authorizes every intermediary.
- A private fee agreement expands every official authorization.
