Businesses that search for employment opportunities on behalf of a jobseeker are often required to hold an employment agency license. Currently, 24 states issue employment agency licenses, and agencies operating in multiple states may need to apply for several licenses.
In California, employment agencies aren't required to be licensed, but they do need to obtain a surety bond and file a copy with the Secretary of State. Talent agencies are treated differently and do need to obtain a talent agency license. There are also additional requirements for garment workers in California.
Staffing agencies provide skilled employees to work on a temporary or contract basis. Some employers also use staffing agencies as recruiters in positions known as "temp to perm," meaning the position is temporary, but it could lead to a permanent position if the worker and company are a good fit.
