Pros

When you first think of Randstad you think of a global giant, you think of Williams f1 or the Randstad flying Dutchman (The Clipper) that sails the high seas solving recruitment problems. But there is a part of Randstad based in Bristol called Randstad Technologies and this part of Randstad is almost mistaken for the spartan army. This is because its an office that is united together like no place i have worked before its united on supplying the best quality candidates to the highest quality companies, and i can happily say everyone i have met whilst working at Randstad would happily take time out of any day they have to help each other. But in every close nit company there always debates, this is mainly over the pool table or where's best for everyone to go out for drinks. At the top of the tree you have two of the most understanding management figures you could ask for in Ruth Jacobs and Chris Sheard, who are always both at the forefront cheering away at our successes.They have put a lot of input into not just bringing on rec consultants but actually brought on a fantastic figure in Josh Winterson who is the Learning and development manager to build the next army of recruitment kings. I would advise anyone who wanted to do recruitment to look no further than Randstad technologies

Cons

we get fruit baskets and not krispy kreme baskets

Thanks for your review, and glad to hear you are having a great time in our Technologies business! Good point about the Krispy Kreme's, I'm rather partial to them too so may have to look into that! ;)

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.
