Questions, answered
How do recruitment agencies work in the UK?

In the UK, agencies place candidates into permanent roles and supply temp and contract workers. Permanent placement is a licensing-exempt activity; agencies are regulated by the Conduct Regulations 2003 (enforced by the Fair Work Agency), and worker supply into regulated sectors such as agriculture or food processing needs a GLAA licence.

How do recruitment agencies get paid?

Payment comes from the employer on a successful placement; jobseekers pay nothing.
