Randstad reviews

You would be successful here if you are not passionate about what you do

It is a very aggressive environment. Both internally competitive and constantly pushing for improvement in results. The pace can be a bit too much for some and burn-out is quite common. On the recruitment side you are dealing with candidates who would rather be anywhere but contracting. All of them would prefer a permanent position. That can a) make the opportunities on offer a difficult sell and b) mean you are dealing with some pretty disillusioned and sometimes unreliable candidates (the most frequent problem we had was candidates not turning up for work).
