Randstad

Applied for job through Randstad -Wayville, on SEEK took so long forgot all about it. Got an email eventually asking if I was still interested & there would be an induction 3 days later can you attend? Yes, for sure was my reply. Received another… Read more

email stating to fill out forms of which I did. Everything was above board, for seasonal work. WOW just wow the unprofessionalism by the consultant. How they get away with ghosting people I do not know wish there was somewhere you can report them? Because whilst they can get away with this then they can't be stopped. Was she just filling her KPIs? Consultant then sends me an email stating that "she is waiting on final information & it may be changed & she will let me know as soon as she knows"...wo & behold I bet she wasn't guessing that another consultant rang me the morning of the said Induction to ask where I was? In my shock I said I was told the aforementioned by the consultant & had I knew I would have attended but there wasn't much I could do because I wasn't told anything? Consultant said Well this person is absent today, & maybe she was holding me back for another induction session & so when I asked when this would be so I can be available the consultant became vague & uhmmed & erred, but said she will let them know when they return. Today is when the original consultant is back in office - day after the Induction so I've rung, left a message and nothing. Pathetic Randstad...

Jeremy O’Connor from Randstad was amazing to deal with. He’s very informative, makes you feel comfortable and is proactive when communicating or following things up. Really happy with my new job, he knows how to find the right match!

Fiona Bremner from Ranstad in Adelaide is excellent. Fiona helped find me find a job that was a great fit for me, and within a short timeframe. She was lovely and took the stress away from job hunting. I highly recommend trying Ranstad if you are job seeking.

My experience with Randstad has been very positive. Issy Turner has been dedicated and professional, making countless calls to schools and keeping me well-informed throughout. I highly recommend her and Randstad to anyone seeking a teaching role.

Absolutely appalling recruitment agency, unprofessional and uneducated staff. Total lack of communication from them and the staff lacked basic customer service.

This is one of the worse recruitment companies I have dealt with, I was interviewed by 2 recruiters, one was so rude and belittling and her tone was so unfriendly, she should not be working in recruitment. They were both so cold, no customer service, the whole ordeal was horrible. I didn't even get a hello when I joined a google call, they asked… Read more

me all the questions then gave me constructive criticism and asked if I was would like to change or add anything to the interview and I said no, I wasn't going to bullied by her because she wasn't happy with my answers , I have interviewed many times and I was quite shocked with their behaviour for recruiters.

I have twice been approached by Ranstad for opportunities available to me as a jobseeker. The first experience was good, the second, not so good. In the second instance, I was approached directly by a recruitment officer to discuss an opportunity. He then said he would approach the employer with my resume and for me to sit tight; he’ll contact… Read more

me. He didn’t and therefore I politely emailed and asked for a reply. I didn’t get one. It surprises me that recruitment agencies, who demand the highest level of professionalism from people applying for jobs cannot reply in kind. I wanted to voice my concerns directly with Ranstad but there does not appear to be a complaints function on their website.

Met with consultant online, Kate Aislabie. Things sounded promising and she kept saying ‘beautiful’ during our interview. I fulfilled various requirements such as referee checks then never heard back from her despite repeated sincere and polite calls and emails. Cannot recommend and felt it was unprofessional. At a time when I really needed help and support it was disappointing and lacked a sense of care.

Terrible experience working for these people . Strongly advise a thorough review of Randstad before entering an employment agreement . They are very ordinary service. They also use Algorithms to control which job others you get on their riddled with bugs APP. They are rude and offensive when you don’t do what they want and if any problems occur… Read more

they through you into the bin without justification. They will send you to schools that no one will go to and then you quickly find out why and you will not be offered any work till you accept these dangerous posting. But the best way to find out will be to find out for yourself.

I wish I had come here before working with Randstad, it would have saved me a lot of frustration. I was offered a position through Randstad earlier this year which sounded perfect for me, so much so that I left a position of three years with full benefits to pursue it. I was lied to from the onset and mislead constantly. My rate of pay was… Read more

lowered not once but four times after assurances and written agreements being signed. I was given no information about contract periods and when ever I asked questions about these issues was either ignored repeatedly or given more misleading information. I can not say enough, do not trust these people with your livelihood they will use and abuse anyone they can.

An organisations that doesn't have much work and lies about it, acting like basic menial tasks are herculean feats of mind and strength that make previous experience in similar roles with easily transferable skills "not suitable" Yet I see same role repeatedly posted over and over (to make it look like they can always find work). If they truly… Read more

needed workers they wouldn't just refuse people who have previous experience in within the same roles/industry etc...They only care about their own employment not to get people employment. That's the whole point of job agencies! Be honest and upfront if you don't have the work or can't line it up just say so instead of lying to people and talking down to them with condescension.

0 STARS would be more appropriate. Appalling experience. Numerous calls following up an application and each time discussing the case with a different staff member working (apparently) from home (very bad phone connection and echo) and countless promises and assurances to receive a call back. 5 weeks on - no one knows what's going on. Looking on reviews from others - NO SURPRISE.

One of their consultants Kyle Robinson based in Sydney, messaged me via Linkedin, with a job opportunity in Supply Chain management, ending the message with "If you’re open to a confidential conversation about this opportunity, I’d be happy to set up a time that suits you. Please let me know the best number to reach you at, or feel free to reach… Read more

out directly." I messaged back with my contact details, stating that I would be interested to know more. Never heard back. Followed up a week later, no reply. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Very rude and unprofessional!

Shocking recruitment department indicated a position months before federal election and I went through the lengthy process including getting 4 references and was assured that there would be work and advised not to take an alternative position via the AEC. Nothing, nothing materialised and all my emails were then ignored. Appalling business and would like to have a contact of person in high management. Avoid this company big time!

I am Khushpreet kaur, one of the OSH assistant, working for this agency. I am writing to share a disappointing experience I had with Randstad Education, specifically regarding the behaviour of a staff member named Imelda Melani. During my time working as an OSH Educator through the agency, I encountered a situation where I was late for a shift —… Read more

something that had never happened before. While I acknowledge the importance of punctuality, the way I was addressed by Imalda was extremely unprofessional and disheartening.

Instead of handling the matter with understanding or basic courtesy, she spoke to me in an unnecessarily harsh and demeaning manner. Her tone was rude, condescending, and lacked the mutual respect one would expect in a professional environment. She spoke as though she were in a position of authority over me rather than treating me as a fellow professional. I felt targeted and disrespected, and the interaction left me feeling deeply uncomfortable, even to the point of questioning whether racial bias played a part in her approach.

What was most disappointing was that this was my first instance of being late, and I approached the situation with politeness and accountability. Despite this, she issued a "final warning" and threatened "strict action" without giving me the opportunity to explain. I made it clear that I would not cause any inconvenience going forward and was prepared to leave my role if necessary to avoid further conflict. Unfortunately, her response showed a lack of basic workplace values and empathy.

Randstad Education has many dedicated professionals, but interactions like this can seriously damage trust and morale. I hope the agency reviews its internal communication standards and staff conduct training to ensure all team members treat educators with fairness and respect.

Applied for a job through Seek, got a phone call from Randstad about the job, didn't talk to me about the job wanted general details on working preferences, they email me some forms to fill out, been a month heard from them 3 times, twice about the same job, both jobs were not in the field I was looking and the other side of the city, wouldn't use them to help find a job

I initially completed the onboarding process with Randstad Brisbane and then took a short break before applying for multiple positions through them. Despite my efforts, I have not received any communication regarding my applications. I even reached out directly via email to the person responsible for these roles through their website but have yet… Read more

to receive a response. It seems as though their primary focus is getting candidates on their books, rather than providing ongoing support or opportunities.

poor or Worse recruitment agency – it is Such a useless platform. Their main motto should be helping the people who are looking for the jobs, but unfortunately they directly cancel your application or calls by saying our documentation process is very rigorous and you cannot qualify . what is the role of a recruitment agency ???

GREAT RECRUITMENT PEOPLE – Brilliant recruitment agency was very impressed and would like to thank Sam Redwood for everything he did for me in trying to find employment well done Sam & I recommend this company very highly for being friendly and on the ball with me very happy I give them 10/10!

I do not recommend – I do not recommend Randstad. Told me I had a job. Then nothing happened. Tried contacting them on many occasions and they never responded. I suggest use another agency. I have and their communication and treatment was exceptional.

I will never recommend Randstad Education to anyone I care about – Incompetent, condescending, hypocritical, and unsupportive. My time with Randstad Education (South Australia) has been awful. From my second week as a casual Cert 3 educator, I wished I had gone with a different agency, but stuck it out due to necessity and trying to give the ‘benefit of the doubt’ having come from a permanent educator position. … Read more

Have any of the consultants even worked in the industry? Are they trained on employee rights and responsibilities/Fair Work/the industry award? RRHAN training?? My experience makes me think “no” is the answer across the board. I stood up for myself and pulled them up on multiple issues and discrepancies - they couldn’t even get my resignation right. Their incompetence and lack of communication resulted in extreme financial difficulty for my family and I, without any remorse from their staff, or apologies. I will NEVER recommend this joke of a company. Educators have it hard enough as it is right now without being used and abused by a mediocre temp agency who care more about pleasing their dwindling client base than they do about the wellbeing of their employees. Avoid this place, or be educated and ready to defend your workers rights.

Steer clear! – I am a 56 yr old male with both a blue and white collar skill set. It has been 3 months and zero placements from Randstad. They don’t respond to emails requesting updates and do not proactively find anything for you. I have a mortgage to pay like most people and these people do not care. Steer clear! A disappointing waste of time. Show details

Great – Spoke with Karl Beswick who got the ball rolling quickly for me on a new role. The role Karl placed me in is a good fit and I know i'll be using Karl again the future.

Best reqruiter Karl Beswick – I have had the privilege to work with a great reqruiter Karl Beswick. He goes the extra mile, great communication and always friendly.
