Recovery Underway as Reed Creates 400 New Jobs

Reed, the specialist recruitment firm, is creating 400 new jobs to help it meet an upturn in demand as employers look to expand their workforces to take advantage of improving market conditions.

James Reed, Chairman of Reed, explains: “We are at the sharp end of the UK's employment market and have experienced a marked increase in the number of employers asking us to find them new staff to help their organisations grow.”

This upturn in demand is coming from employers up and down the country and across most sectors and disciplines. The vacancy increases are most noticeable for office support staff, and for roles in finance, IT, health and social care. The majority of new vacancies are in and around the major cities.

“Reed has also started an internship scheme that will give up to 100 people currently out of work the chance to gain 12 valuable weeks of structured work experience, with the opportunity to secure a permanent role at the end of it,” added James Reed.
