Practice question
A company recruits land-based workers for foreign employers. It collects no money from applicants but invoices each employer for successful placements. It argues that this makes it a no-fee recruitment entity and that a municipal business permit alone replaces DMW licensing. Which is best?
- Both claims follow automatically from free services to applicants
- Only the company’s chosen description controls
- Any employer payment automatically prohibits all recruitment forever
- Employer-paid recruitment fees matter to the Code classification, and land-based overseas agency licensing is governed by the DMW framework
- A municipal business permit is identical to every national recruitment license
