Pros

Been in RAndstad for close to 4 years. Things have changed massively here since the time I joined the company. The culture piece here is still pretty much the same. Though we have expanded rapidly to double the size when I first join, consultants are friendly and mingle around with each other across the floor. It's a very sharing culture - so not suitable for those who are used to co-Broking in their previous firms. Randstad doesn't practice that. One has no candidate ownership and things are very transparent here. There's lots of trainings going on here aimed to help you succeed but sometimes the trainings can get too overwhelming. Depending on how you look at it

Cons

The constant changes by management. Industries, focus can change often. Very fluid. Also very kpi driven but this can be said for most sales roles out there.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
