Licence Categories

Why "Licence C" specifically matters

JTKSM issues different classes of private employment agency licence, each with a different scope of authorised activity. Engaging an agency without the correct class for your recruitment need is a compliance risk on your side, not just theirs.

Licence Class	Typical Scope
Licence A / B	Local worker placement services, limited to Malaysian citizens/permanent residents
Licence C (Full)	Local and foreign worker recruitment, sourcing, and placement across government-approved industries — the broadest authorisation available

Why It Protects Employers

What Licence C actually authorises

Legal Authorisation to Recruit Foreign Workers

Only Licence C holders may legally source, screen, and place foreign workers on behalf of employers. Engaging an unlicensed party for foreign worker recruitment exposes the employer — not just the agent — to liability. See our foreign worker recruitment services or local worker recruitment services for what this licence lets us do for you.

Government Oversight & Accountability

Licence C agencies are subject to JTKSM inspection and can have their licence suspended or revoked for malpractice — giving employers a formal accountability channel that unlicensed agents don't offer. Learn more about who we are and our compliance record.

FAQ

Licence C FAQ

How can I run a recruiting licence check on a JTKSM agency?

Ask the agency for their licence number and issuing details, then cross-check directly against the official JTKSM registry of Private Employment Agencies. Any legitimate Licence C holder will readily provide this — hesitation or a mismatched licence number is a red flag.

What happens if I use an unlicensed agent for foreign worker recruitment?

Placements made through unlicensed agents may not be recognised for quota, VDR (Calling Visa), or PLKS purposes, exposing the employer to fines, permit rejection, and reputational risk with global supply chain auditors.

Does Licence C cover local worker recruitment too?

Yes — Licence C is the broadest category and covers both local and foreign worker recruitment, unlike Licence A/B which is generally limited to local placements.

Is "JTKSM License" the same as "JTKSM Licence"?
