I’ve had a negative experience with recruiter Dawid Janocki. He was very responsive before the interview but quickly disappeared afterward. While detailed feedback isn’t expected, a brief email or call would have been appropriate, especially after a follow-up was sent.

I had an outstanding experience with Reed, particularly the Cambridge office and Enrida Jashari’s team. They supported me through every step of securing my next role — from interview preparation to identifying the right opportunity — and even went above and beyond by assisting with the UK settlement process, which was a legal requirement for the position. Their dedication and professionalism made a real difference, and I’m genuinely grateful for their support.

I would highly recommend Reed Employment Services. Especially. I would have no hesitation in recommending this agency to anyone looking for work. I would highly recommend Phil Mead for his professionalism, support and good advice

I would like to give Robbie Telfer 5 stars. Right from the first moment of contact he showed the highest level of professionalism. Robbie secured me a position within 48 hours and has made the process an absolute pleasure. highly recommend and many thanks once again to Robbie.

From the first point of contact, Connor Stainthorpe has been my champion and made the process of getting a new job painless. His interview prep session was invaluable and I cannot thank him enough for the time and effort he has put into my journey. Thank you so much for everything!!!
I will absolutely recommend the company and Connor for any recruitment needs.

Great team, really friendly and helpful.

Throughout my process, Connor has made me feel at ease, always fully informed and excited for what’s to come. Nothing was too much hassle and the support that has been provided and the attentiveness shown has been next level. Would highly recommend!

Very happy how reed can help out

Connor has been so helpful finding me the perfect job. He keeps me updated at each stage and has been really helpful with interview advice etc . Definitely reccomend!!

Kyle, the Area Manager for Reed, Plymouth. So helpful, supportive and professional. Went above and beyond ... his a real credit to Reed.

Simon Butler from the Manchester (exchange) office contacted me around 4 weeks ago with a great opportunity. Throughout the process he was clear, professional and confident.

Im grateful to him for the trust shown in me.

Highly recommended.

I had the absolute best experience with Reed, thanks to Megan Tang. She was incredibly pleasant to work with, highly professional, and truly committed to finding the best fit for her clients. Megan made the entire job-seeking process feel seamless and stress-free, always keeping me informed and supported every step of the way.

Thank you so much, Megan, for your dedication and hard work - you are a fantastic asset to the Reed team!

As someone who has really struggled in finding a job recently, I was really impressed with the promptness and professionalism of this company. I would highly recommend using this service, and personally I was helped by Connor Stainthorpe who was incredibly helpful and friendly!

I had a highly disappointing experience with Reed Specialist Recruitment.

After completing all required recruitment and compliance steps—including submitting extensive documentation, background checks, DBS clearance, references, and responding promptly to all requests—communication completely stopped after 4 February.

Despite sending multiple polite follow-up emails, I received no updates, no guidance, and no explanation as to whether the process was progressing, paused, or stalled.

To the best of my knowledge, I submitted everything required. If anything had been missing, there was no proactive follow-up or guidance, which should be a basic professional standard in recruitment.

Candidates should not be left guessing after investing significant time, energy, and personal resources.

More concerning was the apparent lack of managerial oversight or escalation. The process seemed to be handled independently without supervision when communication broke down, leaving the candidate completely unsupported. Without proper escalation mechanisms, candidates are left in uncertainty despite full compliance.

I eventually requested erasure of my personal data under UK GDPR, which also went unacknowledged, further adding to concerns around compliance and accountability.

Overall, this experience reflected poor communication, lack of transparency, and inadequate recruitment governance. I would advise candidates to proceed with caution unless clear communication, oversight, and accountability are demonstrated.

Great contract agency but even though client said to me personally they though my work was thorough and would have me anytime but not through read as they where charging them a £1000 per day for my skills, I told them I wasn't being paid anywhere near that amount just £50 per day, I was so angry and as you can imagine so was the client. Why are all agencies so greedy and villainous ?

Ryan Latter helped me find a contract role, matching my experience to the right position rather than just filling a vacancy.
I would not hesitate to contact Ryan when this contract ends and I need to find my next job.
Highly recommended.

Connor Stainthorpe was honestly brilliant. He was so easy to talk to and always spoke to me like a friend, which made the whole process feel really comfortable.
He kept me updated every step of the way, and even though I originally applied for a different role, he actually reached out to an organisation he’d worked with before because he thought something better might be coming up. It turned out to be the perfect fit for both me and them.
I’m really grateful for his help and couldn’t recommend him more.

Over the last 5 years I have worked with Abi Magauran at Reed. Her professional approach and knowledge has been so important for us to recruit the correct candidate. Changing briefs or even decisions is met with courtesy and support.
I would recommend Abi and Reed to anyone who is looking for recruitment support.

Reed specially Natalie Wilson and Ryan latter really helped me with finally securing a permanent role for a great company with promising career progression. Can’t thank you both enough for all your help from putting me forward for roles to helping with interview preparation thanks again and all the best

Thanks

My review relates to Reed Learning, who by default become my learning provider for my CIPD Level 7, through the acquisition of another provider who I originally signed up with [Watson Martin]. My experience of Reed Learning has been appalling. Not really interested in supporting learners, multiple different tutors assigned, not interested in learning and development for candidates, no regard for reasonable adjustments, EDI issues and simply refer you to their complaints process when you challenge their conduct, rather than seek to resolve issues - and very little follow up. I would avoid them at all cost - there are much better providers out there. Don't waste time or money with the,
