Questions, answered
How to join a recruitment agency?

Send your CV and details; once screened, the agency puts you forward for roles that fit — at no cost to you.

Do recruitment agencies charge candidates?

No — reputable agencies are paid by the employer, not the candidate. Registering, being represented and being placed are free for jobseekers. Be wary of anyone asking candidates for placement fees.

How do recruitment agencies work in the UK?

In the UK, agencies place candidates into permanent roles and supply temp and contract workers. Permanent placement is a licensing-exempt activity; agencies are regulated by the Conduct Regulations 2003 (enforced by the Fair Work Agency), and worker supply into regulated sectors such as agriculture or food processing needs a GLAA licence.

What is a recruitment agency?

A recruitment agency does the hiring legwork — search, screening and shortlisting — and is paid by the employer, not the candidate.

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.
