Pros

Excellent team spirit Engaged and supportive managing director who takes a genuine interest Clear company objectives Great company benefits Strong client relationships Overall, my experience at Randstad over the last 18 months has been a huge learning curve. It has been exciting, fast paced, dynamic and no one day is the same. I have changed and grown as a person and as a recruiter. I have received excellent support from my immediate manager and team from day one. As a team we have more than doubled in size and are still recruiting! There is clear opportunity for career development and I can see clear milestones I'm working toward over the next 12 months and 3 years! Also, Randstad provide us with fresh fruit, milk, coffee, tea and toast every day which is great!

Cons

I would like to get involved in more of the amazing charity work that Randstad gets involved in. It would also be great to be able to work from my local head office once due to my long and expensive daily commute. Unfortunately, Randstad does not offer a season ticket loan which would be very helpful when paying £500 a month in travel costs.

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.
