Pros
Opportunities to develop your skills and career in a global firm. Excellent learning and development support ranging from individual desk coaching for new consultants to programmes at INSEAD for senior executives. The growing focus on digital transformation and doing things differently is also really exciting: UK and Global leadership are continually exploring innovative ideas and everyone is encouraged to contribute.
Cons
It's not a Randstad specific con as such but there's no escaping the fact that if you are an agency recruiter in the UK you need to work extremely hard to build momentum and success in a very competitive market. The platform an established firm can provide is a real advantage but ultimately if you aren't prepared to put the hard work in you won't last long and Randstad make no secret of that in terms of expectation. No room for passengers on this journey.
