Review Time
I'll try to keep this brief.I have quite a lot of experience working with agencies.I registered with Randstad Education about 1–2 years ago. After a registration process that went on for months, I never worked a single day because they didn’t offer me any work at all. I had actually forgotten I was even registered with them because I'm signed up with other agencies as well.This September, I saw a teaching job in Liverpool advertised by Randstad, and when I went to apply, they told me I had to register again because a year had passed, and since I never worked for them, I had to start the whole process all over from the beginning.By the time I finished registering at the end of September, that job had already been filled, and now, in early November, they still haven’t called me to work even one day.Don’t waste your time registering here if you actually want to work.Special mention to Sean, my consultant, he doesn’t do any work at all, but at least he’s funny.
I was contacted by this agency for a managers role which I was more than qualified to do. I done the onboarding and was offered the role. Given the start date and was told I would be emailed the information, no site location and site contact details were given . Emailed and called many times but no reply , this company is a joke , stay clear, all they want is your info , do not use . I was contacted by Randstad after leaving this review and they asked me to forward all correspondence to them to look into , this is the email address they gave me but cannot send because my computer says it’s an invalid address, I’m not allowed to leave an email address on here but be aware people
Vijaya has been so amazing helping me find my next job, She got in contact with me about a position and has been very attentive and supportive since contacting me. Thank you so much for all your help. I cant wait to start my new job !
Randstad have 0 understanding or capability to be responsible for disabled students through DSA. Relentless repetitive emails, allocating random sessions in mass without correspondence. Today received three emails in 30 mins AND A PHONE CALL from Rashi regarding timesheets from sessions I had yesterday and today. This is unprofessional and frankly ridiculous. The support workers I work with are great. I have no complaints about them as they understand how to work with disabled students, but the admin team needs to sort itself out. I have sent a complaint to their student support team with no reply.
I suspect this company of gathering people's data for god knows what. They contact people out of the blue without them being registered. If people complain on this site, they respond with generic answers, like contact our customer service team. People are on here complaining becasue they had no action on customer services, which they have most certainly tried already. My recommendation is to avoid. Now, let's see what the reply will be this time.
Dont waste your time....started working for cotys bournemouth through randstad....emma bowker the person incharge of sorting everything for randstad couldn't run a bath with her amd all her cronies together.....in the induction she states this time of year til Xmas is 4/5 days a week with plenty of overtime...first week she gave me 3 shifts and said well see how you get on then after that I put my availability for 5 days a week and kept getting messed around she wants to give me 3 days again but offered me more when she got let down, she's sends someone to cover her weekly travel to bournemouth branch to deal with problems and questions .....so few people saw him then everyone gets a shitty email from emma stating of anyone has a problem go straight to her? ...by why email people saying your sending this person to do your job for you if he cant do your job? majority of the people that dont come back or leave is because she says things in the induction and the opposite happens when you start working.....she gave me 3 days ....I was ill on one of the days and in the induction she clearly stated if your ill aslong as you email or call before the shift thats all she asks.....so I was ill...I emailed her before the shft then get a shitty email back hours later saying you have not attended your shift, any sicknesses need to be recordered and sent to this chain email?.....well for 1 she stated in the induction just email no specifics? And how can I send it to this chain email if she's only sent it hours after I already emailed her saying I was ill? ...its a complete joke....and I put it all on her about all this rubbish and mess around that all comes back to her own doing.....multiple managers and supervisors told me so many people have problems because of emma and either leave or just dont say anything because they dont want to get fired or in trouble .....well I told her basically she's the problem and told her everything she said and either hasnt happened or was just a lie to get you through the door......she called me rude but considering she doesn't want to take accountability and responsibility for what's she's incharge of and if anyones rude its her lying to all the employees to get them through the door cos obviously she makes commission off people to pay for them big fake ass fake lips of hers.....
I reached out to Randstad a week ago with a clear, well-structured enquiry about temporary roles, attaching my CV and outlining my availability. As a Complaints Manager working at NHS Band 6 level, with two years of experience resolving complex cases and supporting multiple directorates, I had hoped for at least an acknowledgment or some guidance on next steps.Unfortunately, I’ve received no response whatsoever, not even a courtesy reply. At a time when candidates are navigating uncertainty and seeking support, this lack of engagement feels dismissive and disheartening. I had genuinely hoped Randstad would be a proactive and professional agency, but my experience has left me with little faith in their ability to support public sector professionals.I understand agencies are busy, but basic communication is not optional, it’s the foundation of trust. Based on this interaction, I would struggle to recommend Randstad to others seeking meaningful support during career transitions.
Applied to work in the care agency, everything was straight forward to begin with had my interview with an intern on his last day (first red flag!) who couldn’t answer all my questions about the company and told me to email Siobhan with any questions….. witch I did got no reply from her! About a week and a half after sending an email I gathered they changed their mind about employing me and just didn’t tell me, when I got a call from an ‘overseas’ worker - Sowmya - who was dealing with my sign up. (Kinda hard to do when your in different time zones) she told me the sign up would be quick and easy….. far from it 4 months it dragged out as she wouldn’t accept any of my references as they weren’t ‘proper emails’ (sent her 5 references 3 of witch weren’t bought domains and @gmail.com) I then told her after 4 months of every email being declined that both our time was being wasted here and I didn’t want to go forward for her then to tell me to send her more emails and my banking info. Totally unprofessional and incompetent. Avoid at all costs
