What Does an Employment Agency Include?

An employment agency can be a lifesaver for job hunters and companies looking to fill a role. But what does an employment agency include, and how can you tell if one is right for you?

An agency may go by many names—employment agency, staffing agency, recruitment firm, and temp agency are just a few—but they all serve the same function: connecting people with jobs. Staffing agencies such as Aloha Employment Maui can help you strengthen your candidacy, prepare for interviews, and get hired for a temporary, contract, or permanent position.

Employment agencies can be private or public. They can operate on a national or local level, and offer positions that range from entry-level to executive roles. They can be a key resource for a job hunter, as they are often in the know about jobs that aren’t yet listed publicly (or some that never are) or can give you insights into what the company is really looking for in a candidate.

A government-run employment agency is a state office that deals with unemployment and labor laws. These offices help to facilitate and enforce the state’s employment laws, which vary from country to country. They can be found at a federal, state, or city level and work to ensure that these laws are being practiced correctly by employers in their jurisdiction.

An independent employment agency is a business that matches workers with job opportunities. It may also assist with the hiring process, facilitating interviewing and background checks, and making sure that all of the necessary paperwork is completed in a timely manner. The goal of an independent employment agency is to place qualified candidates with jobs that match their skills and experience.

Some employment agencies are not regulated at the state or local level and are classified as “private” in relation to Title VII, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. These “private” employment agencies may be privately owned and operated, and can charge a fee for their services. Generally, these agencies must have fifteen or more employees to be covered by Title VII.

An example of a private employment agency is a university’s career planning and placement service. The EEOC held that this service is an employment agency under Title VII because it regularly took job orders from employers, and referred students and alumni for those jobs—even though it was possible that some of the employers may have been entities covered by the discrimination prohibitions of Title VII. (Commission Decision No. 84-2, CCH EEOC Decisions P6840)). However, there are some circumstances under which the definition of an employment agency is more broad, and could include a government-run department or division of a private business that provides staffing to other businesses. These businesses may be a private employer or a nonprofit educational, charitable, or eleemosynary institution. However, such an entity would still have to meet the SS631.1(c) definition of employment agency. This is to avoid any confusion about whether this type of organization would be subject to Title VII coverage.
