Recruitment and selection or outplacement

A private employment agency must be registered before it can carry out its activities:

• recruitment and selection for an employer with a view to the hiring of a job-seeker,
• outplacement on behalf of employers, to help a worker threatened with redundancy or already redundant to find a job or develop a professional activity as a freelancer,
• recruitment and selection of paid professional sportspeople (for sporting events and competitions), or
• recruitment and selection of artists (for the creation, performance or interpretation of artistic works).

Provision of temporary employees

A private employment agency must be approved before it can provide:

• temporary employees for a third party user who determines their duties and supervises the execution of these duties,
• temporary workers in businesses within the jurisdiction of joint commission n° 124 (construction sector), or

Socio-professional integration

A private employment agency must have concluded an agreement before carrying out socio-professional integration activities for poorly qualified or vulnerable job-seekers, as such activities are carried out differently to those described above. For example, certain local one-stop-job shop projects (lokale werkwinkels), local employment missions and Active Job Search Workshops in the Brussels-Capital Region.
