Questions, answered
How much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?

For temp and contract staff, agencies charge an hourly rate that covers the worker's pay plus a margin for employment costs and service. We confirm the exact rate before the assignment starts.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

Permanent roles are billed as a placement percentage; temp and contract are billed per hour worked.

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.

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.
