Questions, answered
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.

How much do recruitment agencies charge?

Permanent hires are a percentage of salary; temp and contract is an hourly margin — quoted up front, candidates never charged.

Do recruitment agencies take a cut of your salary?

Your wage isn't touched; the agency is paid by the client on top of what you earn.

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.
