Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

In principle, it is permissible to work as a mediator between employers and applicants and this is a kind of brokerage which is permissible on the condition that this is in what is Islamically permissible. So, it is not permissible to recruit employees in banks that deal with Riba (interest and/or usury) and in commercial insurance companies.

As regards the money that is given to the authority that gives the franchise in return for the services that it provides in order to complete the requirements of recruitment as you mentioned in the question, then this is permissible if the mentioned commission is a known amount. However, if it is a percentage of what will be earned, then it is an unknown amount and this is not permissible according to the view of the majority of the scholars .

Allaah Knows best.
