Profit over people - Anonymous employee Randstad Enterprise Employee Review

“Talent” glorified w-2 contract employees are treated as replaceable but expected to put double to triple work than “associate” employees. Leadership scrutinizes metrics so in depth there is no wiggle room for humanity. Which is ironic for an organization with a business model of “human forward” Overtime is often declined and frowned upon but the expectation to produce within 40 hours what in reality is more of 60-80. RPO is hired to aide organizations with their failing talent acquisition departments, however you will be faced with a juxtaposition. Manager will tell you to be SME and consultative, but won’t support you with client. Organization has lost clients from pushback so often the very reason they come to RPO is ironically the very reason they do not renew. You will never be converted to Associate status or promoted unless you are part of the “inner circle”. Compensation is well below market average and any ideals of salary increases will quickly be squashed.
