Questions, answered
Why use a recruitment agency?

Firms use agencies to fill specialist or urgent roles fast without diverting their own team to recruiting.

Do recruitment agencies work?

Yes — a good agency shortens time-to-hire by working from a pre-vetted candidate network and screening against your brief, which is especially valuable for hard-to-fill or specialist roles.

Are recruitment agencies worth it?

For specialist, senior or urgent roles, yes — we cut time-to-hire with a vetted shortlist in 7 days or you don't pay a cent, and back every placement with a 90-day guarantee (leaves or underperforms, we re-place free). No placement, no fee, so there's no cost for an unfilled role.

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.
