The Reed difference
Reed is the number one recruitment brand in the UK, trusted by over 30,000 companies to help them secure the best talent in their sector. We are pioneers in specialist recruitment, having spent over 60 years hiring agency staff across 20 specialist sectors.
Reed’s purpose is improving lives through work. We achieve this every day by living our three core values:
We are fair, open and honest
We take ownership
We work together
18% of Reed is owned by the Reed Foundation, which supports charities around the world, meaning that one day a week, we’re working for charity. By working with us, you’re also helping us to support these great causes.
Reed provides the greatest choice of skilled agency staff for temporary, interim and contract workers, covering everything from short-term sickness to long-term project work. We recruit across 20 specialisms, with offices located in key areas around the country, giving us a national reach and access to a wealth of pre-screened professionals who can support your team.
Each consultant has their own local talent pool within their sector. Our recruitment specialists interview, reference and assess all our temporary workers to get you the right support when you need it. We build a flexible workforce in each of our specialist sectors, so whether you need an IT contractor, a locum doctor or a receptionist for the summer, Reed has got you covered.
Reed’s highly trained and experienced recruiters are passionate about securing the right talent to help grow your business. With decades of experience in recruitment, we’ve optimised our service to secure only the best talent to match your team. We give you multiple service options depending on the level of support you need.
We partner with companies of all sizes and focus on the individual requirements of your organisation, because we understand that you need more than a one-size-fits-all approach. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships, providing support from the beginning to the end of your search and beyond.
Reed’s top priority is the safety and wellbeing of everyone we work with. All of our agency staff are pre-screened by our dedicated in-house screening team. We perform reference checks, eligibility to work checks, and ongoing compliance checks, including Agency Workers Regulations.
Our screening service operates 24 hours a day for 365 days a year, ensuring all vetting is completed rapidly and your professionals can start in hours, not days.
Our unique end-to-end coverage means we can support you with a range of services, beyond that of a typical recruitment agency. Whether you need to hire staff, a range of workforce solutions, consultancy services, professional development support or pre-employment screening – we're here to support all of your needs.
