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.

What does a recruitment agency do?

An agency finds and vets candidates for employers and manages the process through to offer and onboarding.

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.

Do recruitment agencies work?

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

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.
