We know hospitality & facilities services recruitment
Our specialist hospitality and facilities services recruiters will help you find the perfect addition to your company, whether you are looking for cleaners, head chefs or front-of-house managers. Each of our recruiters specialise in a specific sector discipline, so you will be working with a knowledgeable consultant who understands local and national sector trends.
As the UK’s largest family-run hospitality and leisure recruitment business, we use our national scale and comprehensive candidate database to source a variety of talented hospitality & facilities professionals. So, if you’re searching for qualified and experienced professionals who are dedicated to working in hospitality, our consultants are best placed to help you. Reed is so confident in the ability of our professionals that we offer up to an 18-month guarantee – among the longest on the market.
We provide more than a recruitment service; we add value by providing an effective and efficient offering, along with ongoing aftercare. Our consultants work with you to optimise your recruitment process and understand what you want from your next employee. Whether you need to fill a permanent, temporary or interim role, Reed is here to help you.
Public sector recruitment
Reed’s hospitality and facilities specialists recruit for roles within schools, local authorities, the NHS, and social care settings. Each of our consultants have their own professional network and strong working relationships in their local market, as well as access to over 200,000 candidates around the UK.
We provide temporary, permanent and interim workforce solutions for all your hospitality and facilities recruitment needs. Whether you are looking for a premises manager, cleaner, maintenance operative or other roles, our recruiters work with you to source the best professional for your needs.
Our consultants support you throughout the process, saving you time and money searching for candidates or waiting for applications to come in. We actively search for the best candidates, using referrals or our headhunting skills to find you the best talent, regardless of whether they are actively or passively seeking a new opportunity.
Hotels & restaurants recruitment
Reed’s specialist recruiters believe that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach within hospitality & facilities, which is why we're committed to offering each company we work with the consultative support they need to attract and retain talented professionals.
Our consultants hire for all roles within hotels and restaurants, including front-of-house and back-of-house professionals, general managers, finance directors and more - whether your role is temporary, interim or permanent, full-time or part-time, our candidates are flexible and can even fill your roles at short notice.
Our specialists are industry experts who can help you keep your salary and benefits packages in line with what the best professionals are looking for. We also know how to help you optimise your interview skills, so you can identify and secure the best applicant.
Business & industry recruitment
We have supported businesses with their recruitment needs for over 60 years, staying up to date with national and local business and industry trends. We know what employees in the sector are looking for and can help you optimise your offering to attract and retain the best talent.
Each of our specialists provides a bespoke service to the companies we work with, partnering with you from beginning to end. Hiring directly costs you more time and money than using our service to help you. We have access to over 200,000 candidates, with a large talent pool in hospitality & facilities built up over many years.
Whether your role is permanent, interim, or temporary, full- time or part-time, our consultants have an extensive contacts list and are sure to find a professional to suit your requirements – including warehouse managers, security officers, facilities assistants and more.
Warehouse & logistics recruitment
Reed is the largest family-run recruitment company in the UK, and we have access to the best professionals in the sector across the country. Each of our recruiters has a background in the sector and stays up to date with trends across their vertical markets, both locally and nationally.
Within hospitality and facilities, our specialist recruiters cover warehouse and logistics roles – hiring for positions including warehouse operatives, stock controllers, forklift drivers or warehouse managers.
Our experience and expertise put us in the best position to source the perfect candidate. We partner with you from beginning to end, supporting you in operating an exceptional recruitment process.
Travel & leisure recruitment
With Reed offices throughout the UK, we understand both national trends and your local recruitment market within travel and leisure. This knowledge helps us to guide you on the salaries and benefits you need to offer to attract and retain professionals.
Reed’s travel and leisure specialists recruit for gyms, health clubs, and travel and tourism firms, with our experts helping these companies to fill roles for premises assistants, CCTV operatives, facilities managers and more.
Our consultants fully vet each professional to ensure their suitability and compliance before we put them forward for your roles. We support you throughout the recruitment process, from your initial search through to onboarding.
Any temporary roles our recruiters fill for you come with a two-day guarantee. If your new match doesn’t fit the bill for you after two days, we will find you a replacement at no extra charge.
And understand your pain points...
Reed has a large talent pool of compliant temporary workers who are flexible and readily available to meet your urgent requirements. Our consultants will use their network to rapidly find you the best person for the role to avoid disrupting your service.
With over 200,000 candidates from across the country in our database – more than any other recruitment company – we are best placed to rapidly find you the perfect employee.
We have a national reach, and access to multiple platforms from which to advertise your roles to hospitality & facilities professionals – whether they are actively or passively looking for a new opportunity. This ensures we leave no stone unturned to source the best talent in the sector.
Our specialists screen each professional before putting them forward for your roles, ensuring they are suitable and have the right skills and qualifications to benefit your company.
Reed initially screens each professional, asking specific questions that you want the answers to. Our specialists work with you to optimise your interview skills to help you to choose the best candidate and ensure the quality of each applicant – this includes helping you test each professional’s skill sets and their ability to work under pressure by suggesting practical tasks for them.
If the role is temporary, Reed provides a two-day guarantee. If you’re not happy with your new employee after two days, our recruiters will find you a replacement, free of charge.
Reed’s hospitality and facilities specialists are in touch with some of the best education providers, enabling us to develop a pipeline of newly trained workers who have developed their practical skills, and can prove their ability to you as your potential next employer.
Our consultants will advertise your open roles for free on Reed.co.uk, the UK’s number one digital recruitment service, while also using specialist sites for search and selection. If we’ve worked with a professional or business leader before, we will also ask them for referrals, while our specialists also headhunt top professionals in their networks.
One of the first questions we ask when thoroughly screening professionals is about their salary expectations. Reed consultants use our counteroffer training to manage individuals’ expectations and anticipate any counteroffers they may receive from their current employers.
Our specialists will stay in touch with applicants to handle any issues which may arise during the process. We’re not afraid to tell someone we won’t work with them if we believe their job search is purely motivated by money and they haven’t yet asked their current employer for a pay rise.
