Pros

The recruiters are really nice.

Cons

Randstad seriously needs to get their ducks in a row. Between the thousand different divisions, none of them talk to one another, so you may be submitted as a candidate to a client by one division, while another division is calling you saying that they came across your resume online, rather than in their system. Why are their Applicant Tracking Systems not linked? What decade are they living in? Apart from that, you NEVER hear back from the recruiter on the roles that you are submitted to, they waste your time and money coming in for an interview that will never get you a job, and their clients are completely non-communicative with them as well. It was just an overall terrible experience trying to get a job through them. Most staffing firms are pretty pathetic, but this particular company just added insult to injury with how many phone calls I received from recruiters from the SAME COMPANY, when they already should have been able to see every interaction I had had with one of THEIR OWN recruiters. Get it together, Randstad.

Pros

Super helpful, at first. But don't expect that to last.

Cons

Poor communication with recruiters, even at the senior level. Having worked in corporate America for 10+ years, this organization is lacking much needed leadership.
