Questions, answered
How do recruitment agencies get paid?

Payment comes from the employer on a successful placement; jobseekers pay nothing.

Do recruitment agencies work?

They do, particularly for specialist or urgent roles, because the agency already has a vetted candidate pool to draw on.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

Fees are either a salary percentage on permanent hires or an hourly contract margin — always paid by the employer, never the candidate.

How much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?

For temp and contract staff, agencies charge an hourly rate that covers the worker's pay plus a margin for employment costs and service. We confirm the exact rate before the assignment starts.

Do recruitment agencies need a licence in the UK?

Permanent placement is a licensing-exempt activity in the UK — we lead with REC membership and structured candidate vetting (skills, references and right-to-work checks). Crew Mentors operates under the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, enforced by the Fair Work Agency. Worker supply into regulated sectors (agriculture, horticulture, shellfish and associated food processing) is covered by a GLAA licence.
