Pros

Somewhat competitive pay and an opportunity to learn a lot about the recruiting industry.

Cons

Branch management and area management is unprofessional, gossiping about everything behind closed doors and making employees feel uncomfortable to go to work. Upper management has extremely unattainable goals, and push you to work from 7:45 AM-6:30 PM Monday-Friday with little work/life balance. There is no place in the company where a hard working Staffing Consultant's opinion matter. In fact, they discourage you from making any constructive comments about how the dynamics of the office could change and make the workplace more productive, balanced and a better place to work. Hard working employees who are very good at what they do are fired left and right, because they are put into situations where they document something wrong and upper management uses it to their disadvantage. The documentation system is antiquated and has problems working half the time, and then the employee is blamed for it. And finally (I am sure I am leaving A LOT out of the picture), but management does so much micro-managing they barely have time to do their own jobs and look in the mirror to evaluate their management styles.

Pros

The commission structure is very competitive

Cons

Lacks true diversity! The room is full of homogeneous individuals of the same background, being in one of the most diverse cities in the world - RT does not reflect the environments it serves.

Pros

None, Nada, Absolutely Not, Don't do it.

Cons

Please consider this a warning to all potential experienced and non-experienced recruiters weighing a position with Randstad Technologies in the Atlanta Area. First, it’s a huge employee turnover machine. How this is not a concern to Randstad Technologies corporate is baffling and perhaps it speaks to a bigger problem. Remember you’re a minion and have no control over your desk and are monitored to an excessive degree. There’s meetings every morning that determines your day for which you have no say and no control. How the folks who typically run these meetings got these positions is another issue. They bring nothing to the table and cherry pick the accounts they work on AND you work on. You can guess how that turns out for you… Next issue and this will resonate with experienced recruiters and has a HUGE impact on your potential earnings. YOU DO NOT HAVE CANDIDATE OWNERSHIP. What does that mean? It means you could recruit an outstanding/most placeable candidate on Monday and on Tuesday the recruiter in the next cube could place them and you get NOTHING! Think DOG eat DOG. Not a good environment. Can a non-experienced recruiter learn anything? Nope and if you go to work for them it will probably sour you on recruiting forever which is too bad because it’s a great profession. Randstad is a great company and its other divisions are professional and are competently run. Do yourself a favor and not go to work for Randstad Technologies in the Atlanta Area…
