While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 233 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the incredibly helpful and supportive staff members who expertly guide them through CV writing, training courses, and interview preparation. Many people feel genuinely cared for by their dedicated advisors, noting that this personalized guidance significantly boosts their confidence during job searches.

A few other people also felt that certain scheduling requirements and mandatory appointments were completely inflexible or largely unhelpful for their personal situations.

No complaints procedure, apparently.

Weirdly refuse to provide details of their complaints procedure

Communication is patronising and unhelpful.

Certainly changing people's lives, however definitely not for the better.

Scam

They only work hard after you are employed then they harass your employer which is the opposite of the service you want.

Just be truly open, and people at Reed will support you!

I met Tsvetelina Krasteva as my leader, I would say. She is wonderful human being! She did more than I was expecting! Because of her support and the work she did for me, I got a job in such a short time it's incredible! She gives me the confidence I need! I was truly happy to meet them all! I am on my feet again because of all of their hard work! Thank you!

Great Guidance from Tsvetelina Krasteva

I’ve been working with my Employment Adviser, Tsvetelina Krasteva, and I’m very grateful for her support. She is patient, organised, and always follows up when she says she will. Her advice has been practical and tailored to my needs, which made a real difference

Lewis from wisbech supported me with filling out my carers allowance form and my work capabilities form by asking me all the questions and filling out the answers correctly which has been something I've needed to do since December but mental and physically struggled with so he spent longer than the appointment was booked for helping me.

The worst thing about this program is…

The worst thing about this program is that they give you a days notice before an appointment or a course session. I might have things to do that are way more important than their appointments. It’s constantly having to reschedule which is not my fault and I have to constantly ring up. Why not give me a few days notice? There’s personal things people go through and if you don’t show up, they blame YOU for your attendance going down even though it’s valid reasons. My work advisor supports me and listens to my concerns. I said I’ll only be doing 1 to 1 sessions and they’re still booking to put me in group ones. Feels like talking to a brick wall.
