Hire with Reef Reviews 12

I had an excellent experience working with Hire with Reef for our recent accounting recruitment. Will, who spearheaded the process, was outstanding throughout - professional, responsive, and solutions-focused. Despite managing multiple commitments, he always provided timely updates and clear communication.

They quickly understood our needs and connected us with talented staff on the first try, which speaks volumes about their ability to match the right people with the right roles. I’m more than happy with the service provided and will gladly refer Hire with Reef to others. I also look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Highly recommended!

We used Reef to source a Web Designer for our design agency, and the experience has been freakin' awesome. Having recruited myself in the past – sifting through thousands of average portfolios – this process felt incredibly efficient. I was referred just two high-quality candidates, interviewed one, and we’ve now placed them in the role. The talent level has been excellent, communication throughout was seamless, and the entire process saved me a huge amount of time and frustration. Highly recommend for anyone in the creative or digital industry looking for quality over quantity.

The interview process was smooth and professional — starting with a modern, high-tech initial interview and then directly with the client. Everything was well-organized, and the payment process is fast and reliable. Overall, Reef made the whole experience efficient and stress-free.

We hired with reef to help us fill a video editing role that was super important for us. The process was super simple, about a 3 week timeline from initial conversation to hire made.

Highly recommend you give them a chance to prove they can find top tier talent

I’ve had a great experience using Reef. Owning and managing a civil engineering consultancy can be tricky managing the finances for my engineers who are dotted around the country. Reef put me in touch with an accountancy manager who has allowed me to leave the tediousness of that task to them, and allow me to progress with day to day activities. Finding someone who can manage my accounts quickly, professionally and at a cheaper rate has helped me in progressing my company forward.

I used Reef to find a data analyst for my sports analytics business. I was impressed with the experience and the hiring process was smooth.

We hired an excellent analyst who really got stuck into our approach. He is skilled in using Tableau, and he also has a strong grasp of multiple language models. The Reef team was able to answer our specific requests on this front, which is fairly impressive. The onboarding process was also quite straightforward.

If you are looking to hire offshore talent, I recommend considering Reef.

We were struggling to find good creative support locally - costs were too high, and we were still getting average results. Offshore felt risky after a few bad hires, but Reef changed that. They really understood what we needed and their process gave us confidence. We ended up hiring a designer who’s proactive, fast, and genuinely talented. It’s like they’re already part of our in-house team, just without the overhead. Couldn’t be happier.

At Geelong Centre of Excellence, we were looking for short term support across a number of functions - financial controls, graphic design, and administrative support, while we transition between organisational structures. The Reef system was easy to use, and the short term remote staff on offer are excellent and driven, with limited downsides compared to domestic hires. They are actually improving our ways of working - hoping our new offshore staff can continue to deliver for us in the long term!

After struggling for months to find a qualified media buyer, Reef delivered three excellent candidates within a week. We had our new team member onboarded and running campaigns within 14 days of our first meeting with Reef. The speed to hire was remarkable.

Reef found us a designer/editor who creates all our product images, social posts and video ads at a fraction of local costs. The time difference works in our favour, we brief in the evening and wake up to finished content. Our social engagement is up 210% and ad conversion improved by 28%. They found someone with both technical skills and ecommerce marketing knowledge.

As recruiters ourselves, we were struggling to find time for our own talent needs. Reef found us a brilliant talent sourcer who handles candidate sourcing, cold calling, and admin work. Our senior recruiters now focus solely on client relationships, increasing our placement rate by 35%. Their screening for communication skills made all the difference - worth every penny.

Hiring through Reef was hands down one of the smoothest recruitment experiences I’ve had. As a social impact media agency, finding someone who’s both technically skilled and values-aligned was crucial – and Reef absolutely delivered. Big shout out to Rob and Will – they’re legends who just got it from day one. Clear communication, flexibility across time zones, and a process that felt thoughtful and human from start to finish. I’ve now successfully hired a highly skilled senior web developer and designer who’s already adding incredible value to our team. Can’t recommend them enough.
