Frequently asked questions
I am a freelance recruiter who searches for and screens candidates for companies: code 78.10.00 or the temporary staffing one?
Yes, 78.10.00. You search for, screen, and put forward candidates, but the employment contract is concluded between the company and the candidate. If instead you hire the workers yourself and supply them to a client company, that is 78.20.00, which requires authorisation as a licensed employment agency.
I run a casting agency for theatre and models: does this fall under employment placement or entertainment?
It falls here. The classification lists casting agencies and offices, including theatrical and modelling ones, within 78.10.00 alongside talent scouting. If instead your work is to organise the event or performance, that is a different activity — for example entertainment under 93.29.99.
I run an online job board connecting companies with candidates: is this placement or IT services?
Usually placement, 78.10.00, because the text expressly includes online employment placement agencies. What counts is the function: you are matching labour supply and demand. If instead you supply staff already hired by you to companies, the reference is 78.20.00.
I do executive search: is it always 78.10.00 or is there a separate code for senior-level talent?
It is always 78.10.00. The heading explicitly includes the search and placement of managerial and executive figures, with no separate code. The deciding factor remains staffing supply: if you hire and provide workers, you move to 78.20.00.
