Questions, answered
Do recruitment agencies work?

They do, particularly for specialist or urgent roles, because the agency already has a vetted candidate pool to draw on.

How much do recruitment agencies charge?

Permanent placements are charged as a percentage of the candidate's salary; temp and contract is an hourly margin. We quote up front with no hidden fees.

How to address a cover letter to a recruitment agency?

Address it to the named consultant if you have one, otherwise use a polite general greeting. Lead with the role or sector you're targeting, your key skills, and your availability — keep it concise.

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.
