Questions, answered
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.

How to join a recruitment agency?

Joining as a jobseeker means registering your CV and availability so the agency can match you to client vacancies.

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 address a cover letter to a recruitment agency?

Use the consultant's name where known; if not, a simple professional greeting is fine. State the role you want, your strengths and when you're available.

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.
