2. 2 About Reed Bulgaria
Reed, the world-class, global recruitment company, is the
first choice for local, national and international employers
in Bulgaria, who turn to us for permanent, temporary and
contract staff across a range of professional disciplines and
industry sectors, as well as outsourced solutions, HR and IT
consulting.
We have a track record of assisting jobseekers and employers since
1960, and today operate in Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
Reed in Bulgaria is associated with Reed Specialist Recruitment,
a family-owned and operated business, with more than 3,000
permanent employees working out of 350 offices and across
30 specialisms.
From our offices in Sofia, we offer a full spectrum of recruitment-led
services to employers throughout Bulgaria and elsewhere in South
Eastern Europe, backed by the powerful resources and financial
stability you’d expect from a leading global brand. Our team is led
and staffed by experts with many years of recruitment experience
in market-leading staffing companies, as well as search firms and
recruitment advertising agencies. Our people have acted on behalf
of clients large and small, in the region and worldwide. Indeed, many
of the senior professionals they have successfully helped to change
jobs are now themselves making hiring decisions at boardroom level,
or are enjoying careers as entrepreneurs and business-owners in
their own right.
3. So why Reed? 3
We’re global – but we’re also family-owned, and the values that have driven our growth and success are at
the heart of everything we do.
We aim to be first choice – for the clients who trust us with key appointments, and for the thousands of
candidates we help to find work each week. But we also want to be first choice for the people who choose
to forge their careers with us. That’s why we invest heavily in their training and development, and why we
encourage, support and reward customer-focused innovation and teamwork.
It’s those underlying philosophies that we believe makes us stand out in a fiercely competitive service industry
– and one we recognise is of even greater importance for us to demonstrate as we expand our business in
South Eastern Europe.
