Questions, answered
How do recruitment agencies work?

We work to your brief — sourcing, screening and reference-checking — then hand you a vetted shortlist to pick from; you only pay on a successful placement.

How to join a recruitment agency?

To register as a candidate, submit your CV and the agency will screen your skills and experience, then match you to suitable roles and represent you to employers. Candidates are never charged a fee.

How do recruitment agencies work in the UK?

Permanent placement needs no licence; recruiters follow the Conduct Regulations 2003 (Fair Work Agency), and a GLAA licence applies only to worker supply in regulated sectors like agriculture and food processing.

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.
