They don't give you the time of day

I remember when I was looking for a job. I walked into a Reed office, and was told that they didn't have any vacancies for the job I was looking for. They didn't even offer to take my CV. I mean I was dressed smart, and spoke politely, like the ideal candidate should be. I requested that they took my CV in case anything turned up. With the current job market, any job was great. In the end I did get a call about a job that they thought was ideal for me. So naturally you get your hopes up a little, and expect at least an interview or a call back. I got nothing. Never heard from them again. My advice, stay clear of them and go to an agency that looks at you like an individual and not just a number.
