License needed?

johnrochie

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me. I'm working with an IT company here in Dublin who are a managed services company. We regularly provide staff into other companies on short/long term contracts.

While we have a number of full time employees, because of the nature of our business we would also use contractors to fulfill some of these contracts. As it happens I am a contractor myself, so I am self employed, invoice a recruitment agency who in turn invoice this company for me, adding a fee themselves.

The majority of our staffing & recruitment is done through agencies. We don't advertise jobs directly ourselves but would take people directly if approached.

We are looking at changing this system so that we can bring the majority of this recruitment in house. As part of this I have been tasked with doing some information gathering. I've found a lot of the information myself for most things but one question I would have regards a recruitment license.

Doe anyone know if we would need this? I don't think we would myself but someone as mentioned that there could be a need.

While I'm not necessarily looking for an answer, where would I go to check this information?

Not quite sure what you're asking for, but the Dept. of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation licences employment agencies.
