Appears to be a lot of fake jobs, regularly reposted jobs, quite typical for these apps.
Full of false job ads. Reed used to be great but these days there are so many recruiters posting intentionally incorrect job listings and Reed are doing nothing about it. You'll have jobs advertised as hybrid that demand full office attendance in the description, decent advertised salary bands with a much lower salary stated in the description, etc etc. It makes the filters completely pointless. I'd guess over half the jobs I look into are misrepresented. Use another job board instead.
too much spam and fakes. You have to scroll past the featured jobs, then after 2 pages of results there's loads of scam "work from home" ads that have nothing to do with the job you were searching for.
It asks to update my profiles, again and again, while already updated.
haven't got a job
The reed app has to be the crappiest app ever designed. Why do you always sign me out!!!
applied over 200 jobs not even 1 reply
Something went wrong error on the app and on the website. On both home internet and 4G/5G out and about. I'll use indeed instead. At least that works.
not looking for work until after Xmas
The app keeps logging me out of my account, also facing loading and refresh issues. It's very similar to other job application apps/sites.
the "for you" jobs page is offering me jobs that have nothing to do with what I've input for my experience or qualifications. I'm not saying they're a bit off, I mean jobs that require wholly different qualifications to what I have. also location includes jobs from companies I have specifically hidden and yet their "jobs" keep shoeing, when I say research I don't mean I want to fill in surveys all day for a few pence each. Is there a way to get relevant jobs?
