Pros

Co-workers were great and once you learn how to do the job, it's an easy days work with good starting pay.

Cons

Every employee is required to hit a certain number of points each week. Points were given for interviews, references and other small things. The point system was terrible because even if you were filling jobs for your clients, but didn't get enough interviews for the week, the upper management would be upset with you. Randstad's whole company is based on filling jobs, not how many people you can interview. Also, the database software was running on IE7, which caused long waiting times, and had terrible layout structure. This also caused applicants to only be able to fill out paper work if they had IE, which no one does anymore.

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.
