Overview of Electronic Employment Agencies Services
The Employment Agencies Administration (“EAA”) of the Labour Department has launched electronic Employment Agencies Services (“e-EAS”) on 5 July 2022 (Tuesday), allowing employment agencies (EAs) to submit licence-related applications and also check their application status online easily and conveniently.
According to the system setting of e-EAS, all licence-related applications submitted via e-EAS would only be accepted if the applications contain the digital signing of all the applicants concerned. Under the existing arrangement, the possession of a registered "iAM Smart+" account is the prerequisite for enabling the digital signing function for submitting applications via e-EAS. If the licensee and all related persons of EAs have not registered as “iAM Smart+” users, please make the registration as soon as possible.
For details on registration of "iAM Smart" and procedures to upgrade it to “iAM Smart+”, please call 182 123, visit the thematic website of “iAM Smart” at https://www.iamsmart.gov.hk/en/reg.html or send an email to enquiry@iamsmart.gov.hk. For any enquiries regarding e-EAS, please contact EAA at 2115 3667 or send an email to ea-ee@labour.gov.hk.
