Type of firm
Recruitment agencies for UK employers
Permanent, contract and temporary hiring, including roles that need sponsorship.
What they do
Agencies sourcing and shortlisting candidates for roles you cannot fill yourself: permanent placements, contractors, temporary and agency staff, and increasingly overseas candidates who will need a Certificate of Sponsorship. Fees are usually a percentage of first-year salary for permanent hires and a margin on the hourly rate for temps.
What to check before you hire one
REC or APSCo membership signals a code of practice and a complaints route. Agencies supplying temps must comply with the Conduct Regulations and, for sponsored hires, cannot be the sponsor themselves except in narrow circumstances.
