Employer launch offer terms and conditions

Last updated: 05/11/2026

1. The offer in short

Employers who join Reed.ai on or before 31 December 2026 can pay 50% less on their first hire: 4% instead of our usual 8%. An employer can also refer a contact, and if that contact hires through Reed.ai, both employers get the discount.

The offer is limited to the first 50 employers, ends at 23:59 UK time on 31 December 2026 (or sooner if the 50 places are taken), and only applies if you complete all five steps on Reed.ai. The rest of this page explains how. Terms starting with a capital letter are explained where they first appear.

In these terms, "Reed.ai", "we" and "us" mean Reed.ai Limited (Company No. 965669), and "you" means the employer taking part. You are a "Client" under our Client Terms and Conditions at www.reed.ai/terms-and-conditions (the "Client Terms"), which still apply.

2. Who can take part

You can take part if all of these are true:
1. You are a business or organisation hiring in the UK, with a Reed.ai employer account, and the person signing up has authority to act for you. You must also pass our employer verification check.
2. Your account was created between 1 October 2026 and the Cut-off (defined in section 5), or you joined through a referral under section 4.
3. You have not previously made a hire through Reed.ai.
4. You have not already received this offer. Each employer, and each group of connected companies, gets one discount only.
5. You are not a recruitment agency or other intermediary hiring for a client. You are not employed by, or connected to, the Reed Group.

The discount applies to an employer, not to individual users. Adding colleagues to your account does not give you extra discounts.

3. How to qualify: the five steps

The discount applies to your first Qualifying Hire. A Qualifying Hire is a hire where you complete all five steps on Reed.ai:
1. Upload your job description.
2. Check your matches and shortlist candidates.
3. Book your interviews through Reed.ai.
4. Complete the offer form on Reed.ai.
5. Place your candidate through the platform.

The hire must be completed on or before 31 July 2028. If you skip a step, for example by arranging an interview or making an offer outside Reed.ai to a candidate we introduced, the hire is not a Qualifying Hire and the standard fee under the Client Terms applies instead. On the offer form you must give the candidate's salary and start date, as the Client Terms require.

4. Referring a contact

If you refer another employer, you both get 50% off your first Qualifying Hire (4% instead of 8%), on these conditions:
1. Who can refer. Any employer with a Reed.ai account in good standing. You get a personal referral link in your account.
2. Who can be referred. A new employer that signs up through your link on or before the Cut-off and meets section 2. You cannot refer yourself, a company you own or control, or a connected company.
3. When each discount applies. The referred employer gets the discount when it signs up through your link and completes a Qualifying Hire. Your discount applies to your own first Qualifying Hire once the referred employer's Qualifying Hire is complete.
4. One discount each. You get one discount, however many contacts you refer. It applies to one hire only.
5. Both sides take a place. The referred employer takes a place under the cap in section 5. You take a place too, unless you already hold one.
6. Sharing your link. Share the link yourself. Do not give us your contacts' details, and do not send the link to people who have not agreed to hear from you. We will not contact people on your behalf.
7. Genuine referrals only. We can refuse or cancel a referral that we reasonably believe is fake, automated, paid for or made through a connected account.

The referred employer must use your link when it creates its account. We cannot add a referral afterwards.

5. The cap of 50 and the cut-off

This offer is limited in two ways, and whichever comes first ends it.
1. The cap. Only 50 employers in total can take part, counting direct sign-ups and referrals together. An employer takes one place when its account is accepted into the offer. We allocate places in the order sign-ups are completed, as recorded by Reed.ai. Our records are final.
2. The Cut-off. The offer closes at 23:59 UK time on 31 December 2026. After that, no new employer can join the offer or be referred into it.
3. When places run out. Once all 50 places are taken, the offer closes straight away, even if the Cut-off has not passed. Employers who sign up afterwards pay our standard fee.
4. Keeping your place. Taking a place does not guarantee the discount. You must complete a Qualifying Hire on or before the Hire Deadline of 31 July 2028. If you do not, you lose the discount and we may release your place.
5. Places left. If we say how many places remain, that is a guide only and may be out of date. Signing up does not guarantee a place.

6. Fees and what the discount covers

1. Creating jobs, seeing your matches and booking interviews are free. You pay only when you make a hire.
2. Our standard fee is 8% of the candidate's first-year gross pay, including expected bonuses and benefits, with a £1,000 minimum, as set out in the Client Terms. Under this offer, the fee on your first Qualifying Hire is 4%, with a minimum of £500.
3. Fees are plus VAT at the prevailing rate. We invoice when you complete the offer form, and invoices are payable within 14 days, as set out in the Client Terms.
4. The discount applies to one hire. Later hires, and any extra hires from the same job, are charged at the standard fee.
5. The discount cannot be combined with any other offer, has no cash value and cannot be transferred.
6. Everything else in the Client Terms still applies. If they conflict with these terms on the amount of the fee, these terms win.

7. Losing the discount, and changes to the offer

1. When you lose it. You lose the discount, and the standard fee applies, if you do not complete all five steps on Reed.ai, do not meet the Hire Deadline, give us false or misleading information, open more than one account to get the offer more than once, or otherwise abuse it.
2. Our decision. We will decide whether you are eligible, acting reasonably. If we refuse or withdraw the discount, we will tell you why.
3. Changing or ending the offer. We can change or end the offer at any time. A change will not reduce the discount for an employer that has already taken a place, unless the change is needed to stop fraud or to meet the law.
4. No other promises. Emails, posts and other marketing about the offer are a summary. If they differ from these terms, these terms apply.

8. General

1. Who runs the offer. Reed.ai Limited, Company No. 965669, registered in England. Registered office: Academy Court, 94 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1DT.
2. Your data. We use the details you give us to run the offer, including matching referrals. When a referral is made, we will tell the referrer only that the referred employer joined and hired, not other details about it. See our privacy policy at www.reed.ai/privacy-policy.
3. Governing law. These terms are governed by English law, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, as in the Client Terms.
4. Third parties. Only you and Reed.ai can enforce these terms.
