How much does Reed.ai cost for employers?

Reed.ai charges a single 8% fee, payable only when you make a successful hire. There's no upfront cost, no subscription and no per-vacancy charge, so there's nothing to pay unless you hire. That compares with the 15% to 25% of salary a traditional agency typically charges on placement.

How does Reed.ai find candidates?

You simply type or talk to Reed.ai and describe the role. It searches Reed's database of over 15 million candidates, curates a shortlist using its matching algorithm, and can even schedule your interviews, working 24/7 so it never stops searching.

Do I stay in control of who I interview and hire?

Yes, completely. Reed.ai does the searching, shortlisting and interview scheduling, but every decision on who to interview and who to hire stays with you.

Is Reed.ai's hiring ethical and fair?

Yes. Reed.ai has an Ethical Advisory Board to help ensure everyone is treated fairly and equally, which we believe is essential for all AI recruitment. Reed.ai is part of the Reed family, recruiting since 1960, and gives 18% of its profits to charity.

What is your blended approach?

You choose the level of support that suits you. Self service lets you source and place candidates independently for an 8% placement fee with no upfront cost. Blended assist adds a dedicated customer executive to help you onboard and craft job descriptions. Blended Pro gives you the Reed.ai specialist team to enhance your search.

Do I need recruitment experience to use Reed.ai?

No. Reed.ai guides you through the whole process using voice or text, like a personal recruiter. Once you've described what you need, it searches for the right people, builds your shortlist and schedules interviews, removing the most time-consuming parts of hiring.
