How much does an employment agency bond cost in New Jersey?
The Director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs requires all booking agencies, career consultants, career counseling services, employment agencies, job listing firms and prepaid computer matching services to be bonded in the amount ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. These bonds can be required for other service agencies, such as nurse registries.
