Questions, answered
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?

No. The fee is billed to the employer, not deducted from your pay — your salary is whatever you agree with the company.

How do recruitment agencies work?

We work to your brief — sourcing, screening and reference-checking — then hand you a vetted shortlist to pick from; you only pay on a successful placement.

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.
