NovaLink Overseas Services, a Philippine-based local recruitment entity, arranges overseas employment for Aria Santos, a Filipino graphic designer, to work for NexusTech International in Country V. NovaLink collects a placement fee, signs an employment contract naming NexusTech International as the employer and Aria as the employee, and facilitates visa processing. NexusTech International does not hold a license to recruit in the Philippines and does not hire directly from applicants. Aria travels to Country V and begins work; NexusTech International pays only 60% of the promised salary and denies certain benefits. NovaLink remains active and unpunished. Question: Which of the following statements best describes the controlling rule on liability for illegal recruitment under RA 8042, and the liability exposure of NovaLink and NexusTech in this scenario?

Choose the Best Answer

Illegal recruitment may be committed by any person involved in overseas recruitment, and both the local recruitment entity and the foreign employer can be held liable, with joint and solidary liability to the worker when the foreign employer uses the local agency to recruit. The POEA license status of the local agency is irrelevant; liability rests solely on the foreign employer. A foreign employer is liable for illegal recruitment only if it personally recruits in the Philippines. The law recognizes only civil liability against the worker's compensation; there is no joint liability between local and foreign entities.
