“Never knew they existed. But… The company got my details in some strange way and passed them to third parties I started receiving bot messages trying to recruit me for irrelevant jobs.
Not a reliable company.”
“Very disappointing. Told me I was unable to authenticate my own company, also can't provide me with any reason for this. Maybe if the lady doing the authenticating wasn't distracted by the children's TV in the background, the line of communication would have been better.”
“We bought an advertising package from Reed, awful. Poor account management only heard from
Him once or twice in 12 months. A series of unending applications from people not able to work
In the UK. If you are a recruiter looking to buy advertising use with caution.”
“I'm registered with Reeds Accountancy for 15 years and always receive application refusals. I'm qualified ACCA accountant with an extensive experience in financial and management accounting also have experience in the tax planning. I'm finding Reeds so rigid abd only one response since last 15 years. Just waste of time. They don't arrange interviews with the potential employers. And also Reeds don't provide any feedback that why the application has been rejected.”
“My son went into the Sheffield office after University for his first job. It was like Fort Knox - they didn't want to let him in without an appointment. They finally admitted him, lots of people typing away on computers and one very reluctant and unwelcoming person who more or less told him to go away, although he was very keen and polite and willing to listen. They really are only interested in earning a commission, and nothing else.”
“online courses provided by their partner learning curve are advertised as free, they are not necessarily free, you require to be eligible for unspecified funding otherwise they have a cost, this information is not visible on the reed website, may be a data harvesting scam or at least poor advertising.”
“It's such a scam and they don't even refund it, after waiting for 5 days for the money to be refunded I tried to contact them but my emails are not getting delivered to them”
“The online course was a pain in the ass to keep getting back onto. Wouldnt accept password and had to keep emailing them and asking wtf .. They said the certificate was free.,hard copy or PDF which is a total lie . It isnt . Dont sa iits free when it isnt. Big no from me wouldnt recommend to anyone. Now they are wanting £21.99 for the PDF or £35 print out copy of certificate..really...wtf”
“Do not purchase courses with them ,i purchased 2 and got nothing, still waiting course owners to send me log in details, they dont answer emails and read.co will never refund you. Scammers”
“Completely useless. Staff often not vetted much at all, judging by the way they employ someone who thinks least is spelt list... and doesn't know how e mails work either.... that person is actually OK, just not trained to know anything whatsoever... I feel really sorry for that person, doing more than they ever expected just to try to help me, but I'm sure while the Co workers want to be decent, the big bosses don't. Heard they got done for tax evasion.”
“I booked and paid for a Hygiene course 2 weeks ago and still (Despite two complaints directly to the Reed web site!!) have not received log in details for the course which I was advised would take 48 HRS or less!!!”
“Bought a course off Reed by skills up. Couldn't access the course, no sound appalling quality. Asked for a refund. Told I couldn't get a refund but they'd be happy to exchange for another course. I asked for an alternative and they gave me a course with no video and just worksheets. This is the free course given out with the first one that was useless. Now they won't contact me to discuss. Avoid!”
“No expenses for travel. I'm disabled and need to drive . They won't pay 1.40 for 4 miles of travel because I have no receipt. Obviously because they are a bent company who have been prosecuted for tax evasion..”
“Expenses ate useless 1.40 toward diesel. For 8 miles what a rip off . Courses are useless, most employers don't recognise them. It's a total scam . Making money for the government owned buy a top Conservative.”
