Pros

None, Nada, Absolutely Not, Don't do it.

Cons

Please consider this a warning to all potential experienced and non-experienced recruiters weighing a position with Randstad Technologies in the Atlanta Area. First, it’s a huge employee turnover machine. How this is not a concern to Randstad Technologies corporate is baffling and perhaps it speaks to a bigger problem. Remember you’re a minion and have no control over your desk and are monitored to an excessive degree. There’s meetings every morning that determines your day for which you have no say and no control. How the folks who typically run these meetings got these positions is another issue. They bring nothing to the table and cherry pick the accounts they work on AND you work on. You can guess how that turns out for you… Next issue and this will resonate with experienced recruiters and has a HUGE impact on your potential earnings. YOU DO NOT HAVE CANDIDATE OWNERSHIP. What does that mean? It means you could recruit an outstanding/most placeable candidate on Monday and on Tuesday the recruiter in the next cube could place them and you get NOTHING! Think DOG eat DOG. Not a good environment. Can a non-experienced recruiter learn anything? Nope and if you go to work for them it will probably sour you on recruiting forever which is too bad because it’s a great profession. Randstad is a great company and its other divisions are professional and are competently run. Do yourself a favor and not go to work for Randstad Technologies in the Atlanta Area…

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
