Reed did not return my calls. Recruiters seemed rude to me in person. I found them patronising (have worked with several other temp agencies in the past). A lot of online jobs on their site tend to be people selling training. Or just the same job posted repeatably to bulk up lists. Local branch numbers are not listed so I couldn't even call them directly. I had to deal with my personal recruiter. 90% of the time they appeared as though they were not in the office.

I worked through them for 9 months recently, they do always pay you on time which is good. However the communication is poor they hardly ever reply to your comments and questions, they really make you feel just like a number on their system. They were also very slow in sending out my p45 once I had finished with them in fact it took them over 3 months to send it out, dispite many calls and emails. They also send out emails telling you that you have to use up the holiday pay you have built up wit ...

Good variation of job descriptions and how many have already applied to the position...
At least human recognition of someone's application should be made in the form of a phone call I feel as it was not in my experience. There is no or little interaction between recruiter and candidate in my opinion therefore I do not recommend Reed.co.uk

I think this is the worst recruitment agency I have personally experienced.. When I visited their office in my opinion they showed apathy towards client services. ie: just sit there typing away on their computer, oblivious that I have just walked through the door. When they did decide to approach, it was 'have you registered on our website? " No. That's why I have come in here to see you!? I do not recommend reed.co.uk. I since went and uploaded my CV on their website and not one recruiter has y ...

I can do anything that is asked of me from Reed Employment Agency. I did my work experience at "Social services" in Nuneaton town centre.

Despite emailing the Reed recruitment agency 4 times, receiving a response that I'm no longer on their database, I'm still getting text messages. I don't want a job. I don't need a job. I have a job, and I wish they would stop contacting me - please!!

I registered with Reed about 3 weeks ago as I was being made redundant from my job due to branch closure.
And it's like they don't exist I have heard nothing from them regarding jobs, indeed I actually went in and spoke to a lady the person I wanted was busy so I gave my mobile number. Guess what no-one rang me back. A complete waste of my time. Don't register with this agency they are of no help..

Very poor service on telephone! I asked to speak to someone about getting a temp job and the man on the phone was rude, and not very helpful. First I was on hold then I was asked why I wanted to speak to the temp department. This call was not professionally handled. I have been waiting to hear back from Reed for a long time now, and think they're wasting my time. On fourth to the other recruitment companies!

My Experience with reed.co.uk
There were 262,265 jobs online this morning at reed.co.uk. This site has been running since 1995. Vacancies there may be, but you can only apply for what you have experience in. The web site is designed to weed out the no-hopers. I have been using this site for some years now.
I came across reed.co.uk and liked the look of the site. It offered the ability to post your CV online, and so be able to e-mail it simply to employers. I had not joined other agencies ...

Visiting my local branch of Reed give me a more impact for finding job than visiting their web-site.
Also staff attitude are varied by branch. Other branch staff wasn't interested in meeting - they said everything has been done by web/phone.
