But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…

How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
