An employment agency is a company which matches companies to workers. In developed countries, there are several private companies which serve as work firms and an openly funded work firm.

Public employment companies

One of the earliest references to a public work company remained in 1650, when Henry Robinson proposed an "Office of Addresses and Encounters" that would connect companies to employees. [1] The British Parliament rejected the proposition, but he himself opened such a company, which was brief. [2]

The concept to develop public employment service as a way to battle unemployment was eventually adopted in industrialized nations by the beginning of the twentieth century.

In the United Kingdom, the first labour exchange was established by social reformer and employment advocate Alsager Hay Hill in London in 1871. This was later on enhanced by officially approved exchanges produced by the Labour Bureau (London) Act 1902, which subsequently went nationwide, a movement triggered by the Liberal federal government through the Labour Exchanges Act 1909. Today public service provider of task search assistance is called Jobcentre Plus.

In the United States, a federal program of employment services was presented in the New Deal. The initial legislation was called the Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 and more recently task services happen through one-stop centers established by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.

In Australia, the first public work service was set up in 1946, called the Commonwealth Employment Service.
