Questions, answered
How much do recruitment agencies charge per hour?

Contract staff are billed per hour worked, at a rate we agree before mobilising, with no hidden add-ons.

How do recruitment agencies get paid?

The employer pays the agency — a percentage of salary on permanent placements, or an hourly margin on temp and contract hours. Candidates are never charged for being placed.

Do recruitment agencies work?

Yes — a good agency shortens time-to-hire by working from a pre-vetted candidate network and screening against your brief, which is especially valuable for hard-to-fill or specialist roles.

How do recruitment agencies work?

Give us the role; we do the search, vetting and coordination and you just choose the candidate.

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.
