How to distinguish the true and false labor service abroad

Check the qualifications of overseas labor service companies.

There are two kinds of overseas labor services, one is overseas labor services, and the other is that departments or enterprises are entrusted by operating companies to recruit overseas labor services. If it is an overseas labor service, first of all, it is necessary to know whether the company of the recruiter has the qualification of overseas labor service operation approved by the Ministry of Commerce (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation). All companies approved by the Ministry of Commerce are collectively referred to as operating companies.

So how can you ensure that the information you get is true? Does the operating company have recruitment qualifications? The easiest way is to check on the labor service channel at the overseas window. At present, the labor service channel at the overseas window cooperates with a number of labor agencies, and all of them have foreign labor service cooperation qualification certificates. It is convenient to consult overseas labor service companies online. If it is convenient, you can also consult the Foreign Economic Relations Department of the Department of Commerce of the local government.
