Not Helpful

Creating an account is a hassle. They require you to commit by filling out a W2 form and I9 right away before locating any job opportunities. On top of that, instead of them having a real human verifying you’re a real person, they make you fill out a form where you have to provide a real human who is a “friend” and who will be available to fill more forms. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I will not go through this staffing agency. They are lazy and do not provide any human interaction and require you to provide personal information before giving you any trust and comfort of who they are.

Ridiculous

What is the point of having a app if you are not going to respond to job applications in have even email talent support it’s been 3 months with no response from them people are trying to work but you all make it so hard to even get a job get it together and stop wasting people’s time

Waiting on background clearance

Hell I do t understand why is it taking 2 weeks to clear the background I don’t have any in my background please help

Awful

I’ve come to realize that this app was made to try to give Randstad a tech valuation vs a staffing agency. It’s pretty obvious that the publicly traded company wants to be valued as a tech company vs actually just helping people get jobs and taking a percentage of the pay. A percentage is no longer good enough. I’ve been on this app for about a month now. Needed a job and thought using this app would be a quick way (within a couple of days) to hear about onboarding and just overall next steps. I applied to a warehouse role with GXO and didn’t hear back for 2 weeks only to be told it would be at least 3 more weeks before onboarding including a 10panel interview. I was also made aware of some other requirements that weren’t mentioned in the job description, which eliminated me from consideration. Therefore, back to the drawing board once again applying and waiting. The fact that you can only apply to one role at a time makes it even worse. All of this could be done via the website but as I stated it’s meant to drive traffic to the unnecessary app and establish metrics that prove a use case for a different type of valuation for a publicly traded company. Yes randstad is a stock. Nonetheless I have no choice but to wait to hear back from a recruiter associated with a job that I applied to today. Overall it’s been an awful experience and I plan to delete my profile as soon as I hear back. Data collection is part of proving a use case for a new valuation for the company. It’s sad that tech is supposed to make things easier but it seems that concept only applies to the companies, not the consumer aka the people relied to upon to prove the valuation. It has not been a pleasant experience.

Update to this even before it was approved for posting: I’ve deleted my profile from the app and have had their privacy team delete my data. I suggest all of you do the same as the goal is data collection not hiring. More data/profiles equals management going to investors saying “look at our ecosystem and daily active users. We deserve a tech/better valuation” all of which is at the expense of the job seeker.

Bad experience

Omg, why do I need a whole friend to help me upload information? 😭 Nobody at Randstad answers the phone or calls back, but I drive all the way up there just for y’all to tell me I gotta do it on my phone first. So y’all hiring people or playing hard to get? Because at this point, the gas I wasted is more committed than y’all staffing process. 💀

Somewhat disappointed

I’m not one to leave reviews… but I’m disappointed in the Charlotte branch for lack of communication. Whenever I apply for a role, the background check takes very long to the point I lost interest in the role overall. I understand everyone is busy to a capacity, but if this was a quicker hire type app/agency, then the app would be more enjoyable.

To ALL THE COMPANIES ON THIS APP

IF YOU WANT EMPLOYEES,DO AWAY WITH ALL THESE BACKGROUND CHECKS ETC.

Found great job!

Found the job that I hope to progress in and possible retire from.

Unprofessional

I don’t think they’re very good. In my opinion, some of the other staffing agencies are much better and more professional. They actually call you when they have a job available.

Other agencies are hiring for warehouse positions at $17–$18 an hour, while Randstad is offering around $15–$16. Honestly, I feel like it’s a waste of time. Instead of going to Randstad or waiting around for a job through them, I think it’s better to contact other staffing agencies directly. They seem to find jobs much faster. Oh no, Randstad! 😂 You’ve officially broken my heart!

I’m not sure how I’m going to recover from the devastating news that Randstad will no longer help me find a job. 😭😂 I guess Jacksonville has a few hundred other staffing agencies, so I’ll somehow try to survive.

Honestly, thank you for making the decision for me. Your app has very few actual job opportunities, the pay is often lower than other agencies, and then there are enough rules and surprises to make a simple job placement feel like applying for a government clearance. 😂

The funniest part is that after all the confusion about the drug test, True House, Saddle Creek, backup positions, start dates, and policies, I’m somehow the only problem in the story. 😂

But don’t worry, Randstad—you can officially take me off your list. I’ll look for an agency that has actual jobs, better pay, and fewer episodes of “What’s the rule today?” 😂

Wishing you all the best. And please don’t worry about me—I’ll try to recover from this heartbreaking loss.

Great Job Opportunities and Support

I had a great experience with Randstad. The process was easy and professional, and they provided helpful job opportunities. The staff was friendly, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. I really appreciate their assistance and would definitely recommend Randstad to anyone looking for work

No jobs for workers

I’m currently working a long term assignment, Randstad is sending me emails regarding new jobs; however, when I click the link to apply I’m sent to Randstad app and can’t accept the new jobs because the app won’t allow me to change assignment. No one answers the phone. WOW! I would only recommend Randstad to my worst enemies (period)

Misleading

There seemed to be plenty opportunities near me, once I completed my profile and put my personal information in, there were only 3 jobs available to me and they were all extremely far.

Fake app

Once I applied it said wait for a call for recruiter I haven’t heard from anything or any emails about the drug test so this app is fake and wrong
