Randstad US reviews

-My office had 100% turnover within my time there -HUGE lack of training - even the new training program isn't enough -Internal politics were an issue -Salary expectation was set way higher than what I was offered and had to counter back up to what they told me they paid. -Expectation was set that there would be a ton of business to work on - in reality many recruiters would go a few days - a week without something to work on when our jobs were "covered" -A lot of the business is VMS focused and treated like it's good business when they are unable to have contact with managers or even get feedback -Account Managers have never recruited and don't know how to manage candidates or set expectations with clients (from the lack of training) -Leadership wouldn't address any concerns (sometimes because they weren't getting the information also) -The office leadership would throw employees under the bus to save face with the business -Spread splits - half of the spread goes to the Recruiter and half goes to the AM - this is not market standard anymore. -Back office made mistakes weekly - I had consultants who had submitted their time correctly and still had payroll and benefits issues solely because of a Randstad mistake

There is more of a fixation on getting someone working at the place with the most pressing need rather than at a location where their skills would actually match. I applied and was called in to interview for a data entry position and was sold on a job with "data entry" and "some other duties". It turned out it was a job as a mail clerk in like a ten story office building....with virtually no data entry.
