A suspended recruiting agency is one whose license or registration has been temporarily revoked or put on hold by the regulatory authority due to non-compliance, misconduct, or violation of rules. During suspension, the agency cannot legally operate or recruit candidates.
Common reasons include failure to follow recruitment regulations, submitting false information, non-payment of fees, complaints from candidates or employers, and involvement in illegal or unethical recruitment practices.
The agency must resolve the issues that led to suspension, such as paying penalties, submitting required documents, or rectifying non-compliance. They typically need to apply for reinstatement and get approval from the licensing authority.
No, candidates should avoid applying through suspended recruiting agencies as they are not authorized to recruit or place candidates legally during the suspension period. Using such agencies can risk job scams or other legal issues.
Most government labor or recruitment regulatory authorities publish updated lists of suspended agencies on their official websites. You can also contact the authority directly for verification.
