Also take a moment to think through the question, and ask them to repeat it if necessary. Your response time is not the focus for them,

Junior Developer, Engineering at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
I was an internal applicant so my process was slightly different but I would suggest to revise verbal, inductive and numerical reasoning exams because that will be part of the aptitude test you will have to complete.
Interview Advice:
Research the company beforehand as you will be asked questions about it and Reed is a large company with many different departments that range from the well-known recruitment consultant side, to Reed in Partnership which deals with government tender contracts like my department which runs an NHS programme.
Interview your interviewer as well, ask about support, plans, progress opportunities etc. Reed love to internally promote where possible. Interviews are not a one-way street either, finding out if the company is the right fit for you is just as important as the company finding out if you are the right fit for it.

Depends on which part of the graduate scheme you are applying for. Generally, the key thing would be to ensure you reach the company and understand Reed's values and mission statement. Knowing lots about the company will go a long way. For a 360 Recruitment Consultant, it would be worth having a look into some basic sales background and have some basic knowledge stored away. For a Business Analyst ensure you have some background on what a BA does and be prepared to talk through why you gave the answers you did.

Application Advice:
If you are looking to try different roles, I would advise only applying if you do feel you would be able to relocate or be geographically flexible. However there is still good progression opportunities if you stay in the same role. but you would not get the same exposure to all areas of the business.
Interview Advice:
Research competitors, local businesses and trends and any topical issues. Also rehearse role plays and ask lots of questions

The final stage interview for Graduates will be with a Director. As always, the most important advice is to to totally be yourself. Be prepared to be thrown curveball interview questions. If you do get any of these, the most important quality to exhibit is confidence.
Remember to use the STAR method whilst answering situational questions. Important qualities for the role are personality, tenacity, ownership/ self direction and passion.

Product Team Assistant, Reed Online – Product Team at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
My main piece of advice would be to write a strong cover letter to include in your application. This is part of the online application process so I would recommend having one written ahead of completing the online application so that you have already proof-read and edited the content to copy and paste into the application. The cover letter should be targeted, relevant to REED, and include reasons WHY you're applying and what makes it an exciting opportunity for you. This is an opportunity to include a bit of personality, as well as demonstrate your interest in the role. A regurgitated cover letter that's really a re-written version of a CV won't stand out, but a personalised letter that includes your aspirations and career goals will.
Interview Advice:
"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" could not be more accurate here, and has been my mantra since my first ever interview when I was 17. My recommendations would be to; research (with time to spare, don't cram 10 minutes before the interview); prepare answers to standard competency questions; also prepare questions you want to ask; have all of this written down in front of you ready for the interview in a clear document that you can easily read, so when the time comes to answer questions or ask questions, you have something easily accessible to reference. James Reed's "Why You?" book is a fantastic resource for interview preparation and I would highly recommend leafing through this ahead of your interview too.

Permanents Consultant, Bristol Social Care at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Be sure to emphasise skills that are applicable to the job, particularly communication and sales as you are likely to be in a sales driven environment. Also, do your research on Reed as a company and the recruitment industry as it will show the Graduate Team at Reed you are serious about your application and not just applying as it is a Graduate scheme.
Interview Advice:
There are a number of interview stages, two on the phone and one which is face to face. On the initial telephone interview, be clear and confident and make sure you prepare beforehand! The second telephone interview will likely be a test so ensure you completely understand the information and think about it analytically - don't be afraid to think outside the box! The final face to face interview will be with a senior member of staff in the business and this can seem quite daunting. However, don't be afraid of this stage as they are only trying to get an understanding of what you are like as a person and a candidate to see if you will do well in the business.
Recruitment Consultant, Business Support at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
It is good to show that you are motivated to progress within the company, and what you like about the company specifically.
I had to do a mock sales call as part of my application - this stage is fine, just make sure you tick off all the things you need to cover, e.g. introducing yourself, checking they are available, highlighting USP's of the candidates you are speccing etc.
Interview Advice:
Make sure you have prepared examples to highlight a range of competencies, and that you have researched the company.

Application Advice:
I really refined my CV to show relevant experience and give me/my interviewers a lot to talk about, include some fun things that make you an individual because culture is a huge thing here and it is a very 'human' company.
Interview Advice:
Bare in mind it's usually two people from the company and yourself so take some time to research them, add them on LinkedIn etc. I would be honest, open and ask questions you are actually interested in knowing, rather than the same old, both about the individuals in the room and where the company is going. Let your passion show as this is a company full of really intelligent, hardworking and passionate people who will really easily tell if you're making it up as you go along. Don't be afraid to talk about your ideas, past and present and show how you've implemented those.

Research the company and industry. Recruitment is a sales role and requires you to enjoy challenging target-driven work. Your first-year role will be operational (i.e. recruitment or sales) so you will need to demonstrate a desire to exceed targets in this environment.
Interview Advice:
Do your research of Reed and make clear you understand that it is a commercial business with sales and profit targets. Your final interview will be with a senior director and they will want to see your career ambitions align with a career at Reed. At branch interviews (for your first placement) they will need to see you are action-orientated and driven by challenging targets. If it is a commission-based role then the managers will want to see some money-motivated comments from you.

Product Manager, Products at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
I don't recall getting much feedback about my initial application, or the various tests I had to do online, other than that I had done very well on the verbal and maths tests.
In the written parts required I just showed I had done my research. There is likely to be a test you will do to measure your mindset. The main thing with that is to be honest with yourself and don't try and guess the ideal answers as it's designed to spot when people are doing so. If you answer honestly and are unsuccessful at that stage don't be disheartened. The mindset stuff works and if you don't pass then you likely would not have enjoyed the working environment.
Interview Advice:
You will need to interview not just to get onto the Grad scheme, but also to get a position for your first year, usually in branch. The grad scheme process is forward thinking and will see your long term value, but the branch Managers are looking for one thing - someone who can make their team money in the year they are on their team. You need to take that into account when interviewing, and a key question you will be asked at interview with your potential manager for your first year is why you want to work in recruitment. The right answer is to make money!

Prepare thoroughly for the online tests (numerical and verbal reasoning) - do the practice ones several times until you fully understand why each answer is correct. This will help you massively in grasping the format of the actual questions.

Ask questions at the end of the interview. It is as much a process of you choosing the company as it is them choosing you, so obviously during the interview try and present yourself as best and honestly as possible and then at the end instead of spewing off the popular questions you find on the internet, ask questions that you need to know to help you decide if you actually want the job. Not only does it show that you are taking the process seriously, but being genuine is always impressive.

There were a few role plays but they are very manageable and the interviewers make you feel at ease so as long as you do your research and are mentally prepared, you will be fine. Competency-based interview was very standard; I had a 3 to 1 panel interview and the interviewers literally just went down a list of questions on paper. The final interview with an MD was very pleasant, more like a casual conversation than an interview.
Employment Adviser, at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Practice for the SHL tests, they knock out most of the applications.
Interview Advice:
The interviews are fairly straight forward, just make sure you put your points across during the group exercises in the assessment centre and ask open ended questions during the role play.
Permanents Consultant, Reed at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Make sure you do your research on the role and the company as a whole. Go into one of our offices and ask to shadow someone before applying for this role so you know what to expect.
Interview Advice:
Competency based questions based on the job description. The role plays can be tough so make sure you practice offering career advise to somebody that may be quite difficult.

Consultant, at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Consider carefully which of the initial roles you would like to put yourself forward for as they can have a huge effect on your experience and enjoyment during Year One.
Interview Advice:
Relax and be yourself - if you get to interview stage you will almost certainly be well-qualified enough for the role you're applying for, so all that's left is to demonstrate that your personality will be a good fit.
Graduate, at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Take your time with the application, it is difficult. And challenging, however I believe it should be like this.
Interview Advice:
Be as engaged as possible, it is a great opportunity to work for a family run company. The company has a tough application process meaning the interviews are tough as well.
Field employment broker, Reed ncfe at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Be aware that persuasion is a massive skill that you need in recruitment; not only if you're a recruitment consultant but to work in the sector in general.
Communication is also very important to ensure you understand your clients needs and that you can provide a suitable solution to them.
You also need to be prepared to commit more than the '9-5'!
Interview Advice:
You will be asked to demonstrate your skills in asking the right questions and providing suitable solutions based on the information you have acquired.
You will also need to show that you can build relationships quickly and prioritise effectively.
Project Executive, Compliance at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
The application process is an application form, telephone interview, psychometric assessments, assessment centre, branch interview and MD interview so quite rigourous. Just take it one step at a time and practice your role play skills and numerical/literacy tests!
Interview Advice:
Research recruitment and what it entails. Be confident and methodical. The interview is with an MD so be prepared to explain your aspirations and how the company fits in with those as well as relating past work experience to the role.

Application Advice:
Think about whether you can handle a year in sales. Although you can progress into many areas (the MD of reed.co.uk started on the GTS...), you will have to do this year. If you work hard and appreciate the skills you are learning, then you will find it not only enjoyable but also financially rewarding.

Graduate Recruitment Consultant, Procurement & Supply Chain at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
1. Have an idea of what you want to gain from the graduate scheme and what you have to offer - this could be skills outside of just work experience.
2. Research the company and understand how it works.
Interview Advice:
Be prepared for a mixture of both 1-1 interviews and group based interviews. Be open, innovative and ensure that you promote productive discussion.

Application Advice:
Think about which areas of the business you would like to gain experience in. It is useful doing some research prior to applying so that you can start to map out your journey, as it is often the way that your first placement will impact on your later Graduate Training Scheme placements.
Interview Advice:
Research the person who is interviewing you thoroughly. Consider why you are applying for the role, what you can bring to the company, and what you hope to get out of the Graduate Training Scheme.
, at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Remember that it is a sales position. Targets and KPIs are a significant part of the role, if you do not work well with these pressures then it may not be the role for you.
Interview Advice:
Research the company and all areas that we cover.
Research the role of a consultant and make it clear that you are not disillusioned at how hard the role may be.

Application Advice:
It is a fairly lengthy process, including two assessment centres, competency based interview, interview with a director etc. Be prepared to show drive and motivation and also be salesy!
Recruitment Consultant, Mortgages at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Emphasise interest in sales and personal contact.
Interview Advice:
Assessment centre - role plays involve a sales scenario to sell a candidate to a role. Have to also do a time-management test, putting tasks into order of importance and how you would solve the problem.
Psychometric tests - do the practice tests before! It will make the final test a lot easier as they can be very challenging.
Read the full review »
Application Advice:
Know what you're getting yourself into. The sales aspect isn't for everyone, but it changes you as a person and becomes so useful if you end up in a support function in the business - I don't know how people who join without having done an operational role do it.
HR Assistant, HR at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Reed as a group are focused much more on characteristics and behaviours rather than experience.
Interview Advice:
Sooner or later in an interview, you will fail to generate "an occasion when ...". Don't panic - just say that no example is jumping to the front of your mind, "but here is what I would do in a situation like that".

One of the best things about working for Reed is being able to say we work one day a week for charity and therefore give back to the communities. I also really like the people here, in every team I have worked in there has been amazing support and the teams really get on well together. The internal opportunities on the Grad Scheme are very good too - there is the chance to move into lots of different areas, like IT, Marketing etc.
Worst:
Pre the pandemic there was very little flexibility around working from home and sometimes having that work life balance was tricky. As of 2021/22 however, dynamic working is well on its way to being an integral part of company culture.

Although the pay is competitive with other companies for my role now, I feel some areas of the business are underpaid for the hard, hard work they do. Also, some areas have not adapted to the flexible working that other areas and companies have.

Specialist Procurement Recruitment Consultant, Procurement and Supply Chain at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Best:
You can go into a lot of different roles from where you begin within the company which you may not necessarily be experienced in.
The training offered is excellent, I completed my Cert RP qualification within my first year through the apprenticeship programme.
Colleagues are generally friendly and happy to help you with queries.
Worst:
Things that are promised to you don't always happen and you don't necessarily get the amount of support that is proposed when you join the Graduate scheme.

Permanents Consultant, Accountancy at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Best:
Due to the nature of the company, everyone is a 'people's person'. The office atmosphere is always buzzing which instantly changes your Monday morning outlook!
Worst:
If you are not suited to the operational roles they can be scary to start with. If you just dive in and take every opportunity to observe, learn, try out, these fears are easily combated.

Product Team Assistant, Reed Online – Product Team at Reed GlobalRead the full review »
Best:
Company culture which in my experience is one of inclusion, shared values, aspiration and solidarity.
Ethical values of the company and the opportunity to be involved in charitable ventures with the company (Ethiopiad, WomanKind Worldwide).
The internal opportunities to travel and develop within the company beyond operational consultant roles.
The involvement of the chairman and original owner of the business Sir Alex and James Reed!
The facilities and progressive view on tech.
Worst:
It's tricky to think of 'the worst' things about the company, and I don't see these topics as the worst parts but I can see areas of potential improvement in the following;
CRM Database (which is being worked on as we speak!)
Flexibility for working hours
Limited flexibility for corporate dress code
