Crew Mentors gets pre-screened candidates in front of you — we've checked their skills, references and right-to-work status — and we've got you covered with a replacement guarantee on permanent placements. It's part of our Recruitment Agencies across the UK.
We're a REC member, and we take our vetting process seriously — we check skills, references, and right-to-work status for every candidate. Plus, all permanent placements come with a replacement guarantee, so you're covered.
In scientific recruitment we vet for scientific qualifications, GMP/GLP training and right to work.
From specialists right through to team leads, we've got the scientific roles UK employers are actually after:
Growth in life sciences, biotech and pharma R&D is driving demand for qualified lab and research staff.
For employers we source and vet candidates; for jobseekers we match you to suitable roles and put you forward — at no cost to the candidate.
They do, particularly for specialist or urgent roles, because the agency already has a vetted candidate pool to draw on.
No — reputable agencies are paid by the employer, not the candidate. Registering, being represented and being placed are free for jobseekers. Be wary of anyone asking candidates for placement fees.
