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

In the UK, agencies place candidates into permanent roles and supply temp and contract workers. Permanent placement is a licensing-exempt activity; agencies are regulated by the Conduct Regulations 2003 (enforced by the Fair Work Agency), and worker supply into regulated sectors such as agriculture or food processing needs a GLAA licence.

How do recruitment agencies charge?

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

How to address a cover letter to a recruitment agency?

Open to the specific recruiter if you can, name the role or field you're after, and summarise your relevant experience briefly.

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).
