Candidate attraction

We implement a tailored attraction strategy based on the role and market conditions. This includes targeted job advertising where appropriate, alongside a comprehensive search of Reed’s extensive candidate database to identify proven professionals with relevant experience.
For specialist or senior roles, we also carry out proactive headhunting, directly approaching high-calibre candidates who may not be actively looking. This combined approach ensures access to both active and passive talent.

What sets us apart

As the world's largest family-run recruitment company, Reed works with more than 30,000 organisations globally. Our purpose has remained the same since Sir Alec Reed founded the business in 1960: improving lives through work. That means finding the right fit for both sides — for your business, and for the professional joining your team.

 

Our consultants don't recruit across every sector and hope for the best. Each one specialises in specific disciplines, which means they understand the technical requirements, career motivations, and market dynamics relevant to the roles you're hiring for. That specialist knowledge translates into sharper shortlists and better long-term hires.

Every professional we put forward has been thoroughly assessed for skills, experience, and cultural fit. Our pre-employment screening processes — including background checks and competency-based evaluation — reduce the risk of a costly hiring mistake before it happens.

HR Officer

Ella shows great attention to detail and is responsive to her client needs. She provides a “one to one” recruitment service, ensuring both employer and candidate are the optimum match and best cultural fit for each other. Definitely recommended.

​Partnering with Reed was very important to me. They are a fantastic and professional recruiter, who immediately understood my profile and gave me precious pieces of advice with regards to the Maltese labour market. Their availability and attention to details make them undoubtedly a precious resource for any organization. I have met several recruiters in Malta, but Reed is probably one of the best ones I have met.

Ella, the Manager of Reed Malta, has always been a very professional person to work with. Very patient and does her best to understand a client's needs.
