Questions, answered
Do recruitment agencies work?

Used well, agencies save you time and surface candidates you wouldn't reach through advertising alone.

How do recruitment agencies work?

We work to your brief — sourcing, screening and reference-checking — then hand you a vetted shortlist to pick from; you only pay on a successful placement.

How do recruitment agencies get paid?

The employer pays the agency — a percentage of salary on permanent placements, or an hourly margin on temp and contract hours. Candidates are never charged for being placed.

Do recruitment agencies take a cut of your salary?

No. The fee is billed to the employer, not deducted from your pay — your salary is whatever you agree with the company.

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.
