Pros

Randstad is a great company to take into consideration what your skills and work history contains. They will help assign you to open jobs with good pay-rates. In 2013 I moved to another state and was out of work for almost 3/mo. I signed up with Randstad and they placed me within a week. I have since gone to a permanent position, but that's the fantastic thing about them. They offer temp to perm, temp and also contract positions.

Cons

As a whole, benefits are only offered through certain companies who approve it through Randstad. Many clients offer PTO, Vacation, Holiday, etc. Benefits are offered, Randstad goes through a third party company. Coverage is taken out weekly. While I did not opt for this coverage, the insurance offered now is better than prior coverages. Scheduling for social events outside of work can be awkward due to being a temp

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
