About Reed Bulgaria

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.

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.

Whether you recruit for one or two key permanent appointments a year, seek out professionals for fixed-term projects or regularly need a flexible workforce of highly skilled contractors at short notice, our consultants have the experience and knowledge to find the people you need.

Our consultants maintain and develop strong candidate networks across their specialist markets. This meanseverynewrecruitmentexerciseissupportedbyacandidate-richCVdatabaseofactiveandpassivejobseekers. You’ll also benefit from a regular stream of new candidates referred to us by people we’ve successfully placed within the industry.

Our consultative approach means we do more than simply match your vacancies to candidates registered with us. We’ll also advise you on the likely availability of relevant candidates in the wider marketplace, typical salary expectations and strategies for ensuring your opportunities reach them.

We know that our clients have exacting skill-set demands, which is why we complement our consultants’ experience and market knowledge with innovative technology, developed by us for the needs of clients with highly specific requirements. We also use a range of technology to deliver a smooth quality service to all of our clients, including:

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.

So why Reed?
