Newest Review: ... big delay when they lost one of my references. When I was finally cleared for working I managed to find a full time job myself, due to start a month later. I told them and wanted to work for them during this tim and continue to part time after. They didnt contact me again until 2 months later when they were obviously short staffed. I was able to let them know my availability but the couple of texts I did get from them were so far from where I live it would cost a fortune...they originally were going to pay travel but then told me they wont if I'm not full time. I've given up now, in the end I just wanted my CRB back as when I paid it I ... more

I have had a bad experience with this company. They did not manage to find me any work in the 10 weeks I was signed to them plus there was a big delay when they lost one of my references.

Useless... When i went into branch, no-one wanted to talk to me, had to email my CV which they couldn't be bothered to look at, I did so, I was sent a generic email saying they had nothing suitable and therefore would not be contacting me further...Rude, Unhelpful and in dire need of customer service training!

I have been a member- if you call it that, of Reed for around two years now and I must say I am quite impressed by the company as a whole, much better than any other job agency or job website I have ever used, especially the beloved job centre.

As well as being able to look at and apply for jobs using the ...  Read the complete review

Reed is a friendly recruitment branch to become a member with because of their good vacancies available. Just yesterday I became a member here and registered with them to look for jobs. They were so kind with their help and even told me that my CV need changing.The consultant I spoke to showed me where to edit my CV and show me what needs changing. This was really friendly as this boosted my chances of finding a job now with them. On the scale of the last fortnight jobs here have appeared to go up and they more available than others. They have a lot of jobs available in the local area now and the pay rate is good with the jobs being around 7 pounds ...  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
