May: a good month for Leicester fans. Also, jobseekers…
It’s not just fans of terrible sci-fi puns and people from the East Midlands (we’re looking at you, Jamie Vardy) who have a reason to smile this month.
With over 250,000 new starts available on reed.co.uk right now, and jobs with some of the biggest companies in the UK, May could be the perfect time to find the right role for you.
To help make your mind up, here are five of the top companies hiring this month on reed.co.uk:
Haart
Spicerhaart is the largest independently owned property services group in the UK.
Every year, they help thousands of customers to buy, sell, let or rent their properties, something which wouldn’t be possible without the drive and dedication of their 2,000 staff members.
They need new Sales Negotiators, Lettings Agents and Branch Managers to become part of the Spicerhaart family. Full training and development will be provided, meaning that no previous estate agency experience is necessary in order to get started.
Some previous sales experience may help, but isn’t a necessity, making it the perfect position for any target-driven candidates looking to take the next step.

Levi’s
Fashion in your jeans? You should work for Levi’s.
Aside from being able to make terrible denim-related jokes as part of your day job*, you’d be joining a company with an iconic heritage – one which has been carefully cultivated since 1853.
And when they weren’t busy inventing the world’s most popular fashion item (501s, just in case you were wondering) and revamping the khaki trouser look forever, they were building an impressive reputation for quality service. Something which isn’t always easy when you employ over 17,000 staff worldwide.
Their current recruitment drive is focussed on finding Store Managers, Supervisors, Assistant Managers and Analysts, in locations right across the country. If you’re ready to grow your career (and/or your work wardrobe), apply today.
N.B. Double-denim wearers welcome.
