TerraNova Global (TNG), a private overseas employment agency, contracts Beacon Staffing (BS) as an independent contractor to handle overseas recruitment for TNG's employer clients. TNG publicly brands BS as its recruitment partner and allows BS to hold information sessions and to issue job offers in BS's name, with all placements for TNG's overseas postings. Applicant Aimee Reyes applies through BS and pays 22,000 PHP for processing. Reyes is deployed to Qatar on a job offer that misstates salary and benefits. She files illegal recruitment charges against BS; TNG denies liability, contending BS is an independent contractor. Which statement best captures the governing doctrine and the likely liability of TNG?

Apparent authority applies; TerraNova’s branding creates a reasonable belief among applicants that BS has authority to recruit for TerraNova, but liability is limited to acts within apparent authority and does not automatically extend to all acts of BS. Agency by estoppel applies; TerraNova Global is bound by Beacon Staffing’s recruitment acts because TerraNova publicly brands BS as its recruitment partner and permits BS to act in its name, including collecting fees and issuing job offers; Reyes may pursue civil damages and criminal penalties against TerraNova for illegal recruitment and misrepresentation. Actual authority applies; the contract naming BS as an independent contractor means TerraNova is not bound by BS’s recruitment acts unless there is an express or implied grant of authority beyond the contract. No liability attaches to TerraNova for BS’s illegal recruitment because the recruitment fee and acts were undertaken by a separate contractor; TerraNova’s contractual designation shields it from liability.
