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 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.

Do recruitment agencies work?

Used well, agencies save you time and surface candidates you wouldn't reach through advertising alone.

Are recruitment agencies worth it?

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

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.
