Hiring fraud is here to stay and on the rise. It’s also becoming harder to detect, which makes it a primary concern for recruitment teams.
Protect your organisation from the fallout of hiring fraud with the latest guidance from the Better Hiring Institute in partnership with Reed Screening (Keith Rosser), Cifas, and S T Smith Safeguarding Consultants Ltd. (Suzanne Smith).
The guide, ‘Tackling hiring fraud: the UK’s response to a growing problem’, explores how to tackle the biggest safeguarding issues in recruitment, including CV fraud, employment scams and manipulation of AI tools.

This quarter, Reed Talent Solutions` internal `RTS Venture` initiative is campaigning to inform, educate and inspire our co-members on environmental, social and governance (ESG). ♻
In our fast-paced world of fashion, where trends come and go, we`re standing strong for sustainability and community support. 💚
As part of this, for the second year running, our Reed and RTS co-members in Northampton rolled up their sleeves for a wardrobe detox. 👖👔👗
Our collective purpose has been to gather clothing donations for the @northamptonhope Centre, a local charity that’s a lifeline for those in need, including those facing homelessness, hunger and other hardships. 👐
We will soon be dropping off 22 bags (and counting) full of pre-loved threads. These clothes are about to get a second life, bringing warmth and smiles to new faces. 😊
A big shoutout to our generous co-members for their ongoing commitment to improving lives through work. 🙌
