Great place to work and easy to get along with other members of staff. Healthy work culture and managers willing to help out and support growth of employees. Would recommend to others, and enjoyed my time at Randstad, and learned and progressed throughout my time. work life balance was good, did vary at times due to the changing business needs that is due to the nature of the field of recruitment.

Worst employer I have ever worked for

Production Operator (Former Employee) - Becton Dickinson - 13 May 2022

The worse company I have EVER worked for steer clear no one cares and will get rid of you and drop you like a hot stone and they do not care if it causes you financial problems I got a phone call after 6 weeks not to go in and that was that did not even have the decency to tell me that they had no intention of finding another position for me I have now got another job with a better company so steer clear of Randstad unless you are desperate

Pay Is Decent, But at What Cost?

Note Taker (Former Employee) - Remote - 28 March 2022

The recruitment process is the most complex and time intensive I have ever dealt with. Randstad is the most disorganized organization I have ever dealt with. While the pay is good, hours and communication are so inconsistent that it is truly not worth employment with this organization. No process is explained clearly and it takes weeks of prompting to get any kind of response from management. Note taking services need to be student focused. This one is not only apathetic to the needs of their clients, but of their staff. By hiring thousands of note takers, hours are inconsistent for employees and note takers inconsistent for students. Truly appalling organization and communication.

Pros

Working with students, being paid to learn

Cons

No communication, inconsistent hours, no acknowledgment of how their paltry communication has real-life impacts on staff

Worst company

Labourer (Former Employee) - Rochester, Kent - 25 March 2022

The women I’ve spoken to within the Maidstone offices aren’t always polite. They don’t want you working locally in the same town so they tell you that the job isn’t available while another colleague says the job is available. I’ve used to be able to negotiate my wage and they now pretend it’s fixed wages. I do not recommend anyone to work with Ranstad you will be far better off looking elsewhere. Good luck on the job hunt ;)

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Everything

Awful Communication and Repeatedly Underpaid

Contingency Worker (Former Employee) - Maidenhead, Berkshire - 18 March 2022

I work for a great company as a contingency work and I am employed through Randstad. They are by far the worst company I have ever worked with. I'm convinced the number given to me is fake as no one EVER answers the phone or gets back to me. It takes them weeks at a time to reply to my emails, if at all. I have been underpaid on numerous occasions and rectifying this issue was like pulling teeth. They had no desire to help me at all. I am looking forward to seeing the back of Randstad.

Supportive management

Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee) - Manchester - 16 March 2022

The management at Randstad are very supportive and do go above and beyond to ensure your happiness. Work life is balanced, and inclusive! The expectations are clear and the salary is average, but if you’re looking to get into recruitment I would recommend this company, especially the management at the Manchester branch!
