Questions, answered
Are recruitment agencies worth it?

They're worth it when speed, reach or screening matter; the fee is contingent on a placement, so an unfilled role costs you nothing.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

Permanent roles are billed as a placement percentage; temp and contract are billed per hour worked.

How do recruitment agencies work in the UK?

Permanent placement needs no licence; recruiters follow the Conduct Regulations 2003 (Fair Work Agency), and a GLAA licence applies only to worker supply in regulated sectors like agriculture and food processing.

Do recruitment agencies charge candidates?

Candidates don't pay — our fee comes from the hiring company. Any agency charging jobseekers a placement fee is a red flag.

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.
