Questions, answered
Are recruitment agencies worth it?

An agency earns its fee on hard-to-fill roles by surfacing vetted candidates you couldn't reach yourself.

How to join a recruitment agency?

Joining as a jobseeker means registering your CV and availability so the agency can match you to client vacancies.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

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

How do recruitment agencies work?

Give us the role; we do the search, vetting and coordination and you just choose the candidate.

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.
