Questions, answered
How to address a cover letter to a recruitment agency?

Use the consultant's name where known; if not, a simple professional greeting is fine. State the role you want, your strengths and when you're available.

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 much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?

The hourly charge bundles the worker's pay with a margin for pension, National Insurance, insurance and our service — quoted up front per role.

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.
