Reed

I think Reed is a good recruitment agency out there and gives you a chance of getting a job with them. Reed offers you a lot of work in different jobs such as Call Centre work, Administration and even a few Receptionist jobs available with them. I had the chance to sign up with them when I was visiting Manchester. The branch here is big in size and has got a lot of team members working here all of them are very friendly here. The jobs available with Reed are hard to get unless you have a lot of past experience with other roles. Signing up here for me was nothing but a short process as I handed in my CV and took a short interview for 5 minutes. The ...  Read the complete review

I have worked with Reed since 2001 on different projects. the branches i have encounters with are the lewisham, baker street, victoria, bromley. they used to offer you pens and diaries but things have changed now. i have found that they pay well depending on the assignments you take with them. i enjoy the flexibility temping gives me. i have had issues with the timesheet not being in on time and not being paid on the friday, then being paid the following tuesday. the timesheet system is very efficient, i am due to be working with them again shortly and have been offered a position as a marketing assistant. i shall work my way up from ...  Read the complete review

I have temped through Reed. I have found a permanent job through Reed. As an employer, I have hired a temp through Reed. I’ve even been a recruitment consultant myself for a short while (albeit while working for a competitor), so I reckon I could say a fair few things about Reed.

I have used the Reed Employment service once through their one of their high street outlets but have used their website many times to check for jobs and I think they are a pretty good company to go with. Being well established is their first key selling point. This means that more companies will approach them to advertise jobs because they have a bit more status within the employment market. This in turn means more job adverts for you to look at and more employment opportunities from one place. The online site is very useful when looking for jobs. Currently it has.....wait let me look......272,471 job vacancies in the UK which is pretty high if you ...  Read the complete review

I hate agencies most of the time - I've had a lot of bad experiences with them - not getting paid, getting paid late, getting messed around, them not getting back to me, etc, etc. But Reed.co.uk are very different. I must stress I'm refering to the web site, NOT to the bricks and mortar agency. For all I know, the agency could be just as good, but since I have limited experience with them directly I would not like to say for sure. The web site is wonderful however. The site is not the same as the agency - it lists a huge number of jobs, but they're not always handled by Reed - some of them are handled by other agencies, some ...  Read the complete review
