NJ prepaid computer matching service bonds.
$100 flat.
A prepaid computer job matching service must register with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs and deposit a $10,000 bond with the Director — at registration and annually after that. Ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Jersey's Employment and Personnel Services Law (N.J.S.A. 34:8-43 et seq.) regulates a whole family of job-placement businesses — employment agencies, career counseling services, job listing services, career consulting and outplacement organizations, and prepaid computer job matching services — through the Division of Consumer Affairs. The rules define a prepaid computer job matching service as a business that matches job seekers with employment opportunities under an arrangement where the job seeker pays a fee in advance of, or at the same time as, the matching, without otherwise procuring the employment itself. Take money up front for the match, and you are in this category.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee, payable to the State of New Jersey. Its condition is that you comply with the Act and the chapter and pay all damages caused to any person by misrepresentation, a deceptive or misleading act or practice, or any unlawful act or omission committed in the registered business — by you, your agents, or your employees acting in the scope of their work. An injured job seeker does not sue the bond directly: they apply to the Director for leave to sue, and the Director grants it on proof that the condition was breached and the person was harmed.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. Two mechanics are worth knowing before you file. The surety can only withdraw on 60 days' advance written notice to the Director, and that notice provision has to appear in the bond itself; and if the Director ever decides your surety has become fiscally irresponsible, you have 10 days from notice to put up a new bond or the registration is revoked. The Section holds the bond for 90 days after a registration expires or is revoked.
