Questions, answered
Do recruitment agencies take a cut of your salary?

Your wage isn't touched; the agency is paid by the client on top of what you earn.

How to join a recruitment agency?

To register as a candidate, submit your CV and the agency will screen your skills and experience, then match you to suitable roles and represent you to employers. Candidates are never charged a fee.

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.

Do recruitment agencies need a licence in the UK?
