Questions, answered
How to contact recruitment agencies?

Reach out by phone, email or our form — employers with a role brief, candidates with a CV and availability.

How to join a recruitment agency?

Send your CV and details; once screened, the agency puts you forward for roles that fit — at no cost to you.

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.

Crew Mentors operates under the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, enforced by the Fair Work Agency.
