Randstad

I applied through this agency to find a temporary job between when my classes finished and when my internship started. I’m glad I got a part-​time weekend job by myself, because that’s the only work I’ve had since. After I applied to a few positions with Randstad, they called and said they had opportunities for me and they’d like to talk more. Once we reviewed my resume and we had an interview, they told me I was «an impeccable candidate» and my qualifications were «very impressive.» They also told me that they would have jobs for me in my time frame. Two weeks went by and I heard nothing. Once classes ended I emailed once a week. The person who interviewed me was silent. I finally emailed his entire team. One finally got back to me days later saying there were no opportunities, but I should keep holding on for some potential ones. Now it has been 4 weeks since my interview, 2 weeks since my classes ended and I have heard nothing. I called to ask why. The guy that interviewed me «wasn’t available» so I talked to his team member, the same one that emailed back in his absence. I was informed that there were rarely any job opportunities in the short time frame that I gave them. Isn’t that convenient? When they wanted me in the door, they had jobs. Now that I’m calling and needing one, they don’t.
I think Randstad is a sham of a company and the people I have encountered there give nothing but a sales pitch. Calculated answers based on customer service scripts. Horrid company.

I work with this agency. They have me on assignment at one of my favorite all time jobs. The staff is very helpful and willing to listen and help you meet, reach and exceed your career goals. I highly recommend anyone looking for work to check out their website, call them and if they aren’t able to help you with this division they can help with suggestions to their other divisions that may be able to help you get working and making money. This is a great company to work for and with.
