Questions, answered
Why use a recruitment agency?

An agency saves time, taps a wider candidate pool, and lets you choose from a pre-vetted shortlist.

Do recruitment agencies take a cut of your salary?

No — the agency's fee is paid by the employer and is separate from your salary. For permanent roles you receive your full agreed wage; the placement fee doesn't come out of it.

How do recruitment agencies work in the UK?

UK agencies place permanent candidates and supply temp and contract workers; permanent placement is a licensing-exempt activity, with recruiters regulated by the Conduct Regulations 2003.

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.
