Under the Employment Agency Act 1971 an employment agency must hold a licence if it is to carry on its business. This licence is renewed on a yearly basis at an annual fee of €500.

RainyDay said:Your clients (the hiring companies) are the ones who will pay you - they are your first priority.
You couldn't certainly try this - but I guess it would be a very high risk approach. I'm not so sure that you'd have queues of developers handing over money to you, when they can get an alternative (though possibly inferior) service elsewhere for free.ronan_d_john said:Do you think that if you were to define your service proposition to the candidates, and charge on the basis that you'll do what you say you will, that you then change the whole recruitment company model?
You sign up your candidates - they pay for your services, you give them the service, and get THEIR exclusivity to you.
You'll then have the companies banging on your door. Particularly if you're focusing on a niche market such as Java developers etc (though I don't see a need to limit it).

I thought it was just the yanks that pronounced niche as 'nitch' - Is that pronounciation commonplace on this side of the pond as well?ubiquitous said:A business studies lecturer in college used to remind us that "niche" rhymes with "hitch"...
