Absolute Garbage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I got cold called by Randstad, about a job in accounting. I said it looked good. A few minutes later I got an email saying they submitted me. The email had an attachment - my resume. Later I looked and realized, Randstad had slapped their logo on my resume. I couldn't believe it - this is ridiculous. I don't know these people, or have ever worked with them. They found my resume on Monster the day before and suddenly pretend I am part of their "talent pool". Again, I never met these people, or have any interest in working with them. I am now curious if this company was cold called, or if they were actually working with Randstad? If so, there is no reason to work with these agencies. I have had my resume online for over 10 years. All it takes is a point and click. When you use a staffing agency, you are just paying more money, and getting less value, as many of their candidates are bottom dwellers of the work force. Regarding my interview, I could not get there, because of transportation issues, as I told this to Randstad. But instead of LISTENING to me, they immediately RESCHEDULED my interview without my permission. Then they began a torrent of harassing phone calls and emails saying I had to show up, wear a suit, impress the client, and I better show up! (And wear a suit!!!!) I even got text messages late at night. I do not respond to these tactics. I realized Randstad are a bunch of frauds, and I don't need to associate myself with anyone like this. So my point is: If the company was also cold called, and told "we have this great talent pool of people, we know well" it is an outright scam. They had just found me the day before! I have a feeling this is what happened. On top of that, the fact that this recruiter just rescheduled without even verifying with me my situation, is appalling. It showed she just cared about the money, and business deal, and not my situation. So later that night when she kept texting me, I said "sure I am ready to go"... and promptly shut my phone off. :) The next morning I slept in and got up refreshed. When I turned on my phone I got all these desperate texts saying "where are you?!!! this is a new client!!!!" And I just laughed. Man it was funny. How stupid are these people? Facepalm

I've heard of a lot of bad behavior from staffing agencies, but this really takes the cake. Be sure to post this experience on Glassdoor and yelp and google reviews.

Discrimination complaint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

on Friday I was walked out of class by Michael unsure of last name he is new to Randstad as team lead for 281 Marriott assignment. I was told I called Erica Gonzales a *** under my breath.

A investigation was supposed to be conducted. I did not call Erica a *** she has never disrespected me so I have no reason to disrespect her. The investigation was not a accurate or real investigation due to many people in the class whom were around or actually focused on the events were not spoken with. So to be accurate a proper investigation was not conducted.

In this matter I am now more concerned that this is bigger than just a made up story and mishandle investigation.

There seems to be a bigger issue. I am now feeling discriminated against and lied upon. I have had no reason to be released. No written documentation of any sort; behavior nor attendance.

I have no written incidents.

No issues at all other than the schedule was hard to maintain and even I have found ways to get around that with no serious attendance issues. I feel as though they allowed a new person Michael whom apparently has discrimination issues just lead this into something more than facts.

Let me give you the reporting page; this is Randstad's link to report inappropriate behavior. I strongly suggest you use it.

i would also suggest that you might want to contact Legal Aid or a good attorney (I know they cost money, but you should be able to at least get a free consultation) about this. https://www.randstad.com/about-randstad/corporate-governance/compliance/misconduct-reporting-procedure/

Makes used car salesmen look good

Contacted by a Randstad recruiter out of Texas for a job in North Andover Ma. The job sounded good and he told me my newly updated Indeed resume looked like a perfect fit. I made it clear that I was only interested in a permanent or high likelihood of temp to perm, couldn't have been clearer. He assured me that this was a temp spot and, yes, a really good possibility of going perm. I asked him what their conversion rate was, how often did a temp go perm at this company? He danced around the question and didn't give me a very definitive answer. He asked for more details and was shocked to find out that we have the same birthdates! Typical sales *** to create trust and make a relationship seem more personal. We left the initial conversation off with the expectation that he would set up an interview with the hiring manager and get back to me. When I next heard from him he quoted a very high salary for the position and asked a few more questions. In the meantime I did some asking around and found that the company was in the process of laying off staff and was closing the plant within the next year! When confronted with this information he told me that, yes, they are closing this location but would be relocating operations and taking temps with them. Looking back at the job description the duties were in line with wrapping up operations and moving them to a new installation. He told me if I felt I was missed he would remove my application. I replied that I was unhappy and felt that he was not forthcoming after I told him how much I valued conversion to a permanent position but that I wanted to continue if he told me where they were relocating to so I could decide if I'd want to commute there when the plant was moved. He replied by saying he was withdrawing the offer and didn't feel it was worth continuing. Seems to me he didn't like being caught trying a blatant bait and switch tactic and learned that since I demand honesty he wouldn't be able to use trickery and questionable tactics to entice me to give up a full time job to take one with a defined end date and no future.

Awful communication by management

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The lack of communication with this communication is ridiculous and SO UNPROFESSIONAL. I got an email pretty much immediately after applying, set up an “interview”, went to the “interview” and did nothing but fill out paperwork, take a test on the computer (which I passed), and complete a finger print test.

I received an email a week later saying I passed my finger print test and to call this job hotline number every day to listen for a statement announcing when my official start date will be. I’ve been doing that for almost a month now (I was told contract employees would start either at the end of March or beginning of April. I have heard “data entry” mentioned, but no start date. I reached out via email to a recruiter for some clarification THREE times and got no response.

I left a voicemail to one of their ten automated answering machines and got NO response. While calling the job hotline this week, it was mentioned to contact two specific people via email if you have not yet received your schedule— I emailed three different people and no one responded. I found another number to call for “employee” verification in which I left all my information on an answering machine and STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.

Do I work here? Will I ever start this contract job?

If I were you, I would contact Randstad Corporate, as this is utter nonsense. Someone should be returning your messages to at least keep you updated on the situation. Here is the link: https://www.randstad.com/about-randstad/corporate-governance/compliance/misconduct-reporting-procedure/

Pay never got fixed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
it's been 3 weeks and I still haven't got paid for 9 hours. I've been calling and emailing back for weeks and no response. I finally drive down to the site which is 70 miles round trip. The lady who spoke to me told me I already got paid. No I didn't and I have the proof that I didn't. I just want my money. Very unprofessional and unorganized. I spoke so highly about this place and was happy to work there. Never again
