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

UK agencies place permanent candidates and supply temp and contract workers; permanent placement is a licensing-exempt activity, with recruiters regulated by the Conduct Regulations 2003.

How to join a recruitment agency?

Send your CV and details; once screened, the agency puts you forward for roles that fit — at no cost to you.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

Agencies charge the employer two ways: a percentage of salary for permanent placements, or an hourly margin above the worker's pay rate for temp and contract. Candidates are never charged.

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.
