Recruiters’ assistants

(1) No person shall assist a recruiter in actual recruiting operations, and no recruiter shall employ any such person, unless such person is the holder of a valid permit issued in that behalf by the Commissioner. (2) Every such permit shall be issued at the discretion of the Commissioner and shall be subject to such conditions as he may think fit to specify therein. Before issuing any such permit, the Commissioner shall satisfy himself that the person to whom it is to be issued is a fit and proper person to hold it and is in a position to fulfil his obligations thereunder. (3) The Commissioner may require as a condition of any such permit that the holder shall not receive from the recruiter for his services remuneration calculated at a rate per head of workers recruited; and, where the Commissioner permits such remuneration, it shall be a condition of the permit that it shall not exceed an amount per head to be specified therein. Any breach of this condition shall be an offence not only by the holder of the permit but also by the recruiter from whom the remuneration is received.
