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

Open to the specific recruiter if you can, name the role or field you're after, and summarise your relevant experience briefly.

How much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?

Contract staff are billed per hour worked, at a rate we agree before mobilising, with no hidden add-ons.

What is the IT recruitment process?

IT recruitment follows the same stages as any placement — brief, search, screen, shortlist, interview, offer — with added technical vetting of skills, stack experience and certifications relevant to the role.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

Agencies charge the employer two ways: a percentage of salary for permanent placements, or an hourly margin above the worker's pay rate for temp and contract. Candidates are never charged.

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.
