Your Recruitment Agency for Reading

Bucks & Berks has supported employers and candidates across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and the Thames Valley for more than 100 years.

That experience helps us understand how the local employment market changes, but good recruitment still starts with a conversation. We speak to Reading employers about the people they need, the challenges within their teams and what candidates can realistically expect from each role.

For candidates, that means receiving more than a copied job description. We can explain how the business works, what the hiring manager is looking for and why the position has become available.

For employers searching for a recruitment agency in Reading, we look beyond a list of required skills. We take time to understand how the role contributes to the business, what has worked within the team before and what could make a strong candidate accept or decline the opportunity.

Working in Reading

Reading is one of Berkshire’s main commercial and transport centres, with employers operating across professional services, finance, technology, utilities, retail and business support. Its railway connections, access to the M4 and links across the Thames Valley make it a practical location for people commuting from surrounding towns.

When considering working in Reading, it’s worth looking beyond the town name on the job advert. The location of the office, parking arrangements, proximity to the station and expectations around office attendance can make a significant difference to your daily routine.

We discuss these practical details with employers wherever possible, helping candidates make more informed decisions before attending an interview.
