The worst job agency in the world

The worst job agency in the world. I dealt with them in 3 different countries: Italy, Netherlands and Uk.During an interview I even received illegal questions(according to the law).I think that they just want your data to sell.Lately I applied to a position in uk and one of their agent called me, about it, and since then they fill my email with their spam and I am not even registered to their useless site. But they never replied about the job.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎EDIT: why should I help you for free giving you advices? That is your job.

Off The Scale Incompetent

Farcical - I had DSA support lined up requiring two different mentors…They allocated my face to face to someone 250-300 miles away because it didn’t occur to the clown doing the matches that Lancashire and Hampshire are a long way from one another. When I raised my concern with the mentor they replied “LOL - just another routine mistake by the system” - it’s good to know that me being without support is worthy of ‘laughing out loud’. The same day I was told that they couldn’t find a specialist mentor in the other role. This came after the office phoned me asking if I’d change my meeting method from face-to-face to online - despite the company saying that you can choose between face-to-face, hybrid or online.A day later the office accept that they made a mistake in the initial allocation - only to then tell me that there is no mentor available for me in that role but they were hopeful one might become available at some point (but no guarantee).But I was told that the other specialist had been found but not before impressing on me that she preferred hybrid meetings - so implying that my choice was an inconvenience. Farcical is an understatement - I’ll be looking towards civil action as the distress and anxiety caused is off the scale - I’ve asked my DSA assessors to reallocate me to a new company. In done with Randstad - they are a dangerous liability who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near people with disabilities.I’ve no interest in a bog standard apology - this needs to go a lot further

Working with Randstad has been a fantastic experience. Everything is punctual, structured, and well-organised, with clear guidance, follow-up messages, and helpful reminders about things like timesheets. I’ve been very impressed with how easy it is to work with them, and all the staff are incredibly supportive and helpful.This was one of my best years working with an agency, and I would go back to Randstad in a heartbeat if I needed agency work again. I’ve now started a permanent role, which I’m really looking forward to, but Randstad gives you that reassuring feeling that there’s always support and opportunities available. I would highly recommend checking out their available roles!

Robert Davies / Brooke Palmer. Randstad are fabulous!

Robert Davies & Brooke Palmer helped me secure a new property management position. They were both so helpful & supportive. I mostly dealt with Brooke to begin with and then she asked Robert to step in to deal with the contracts / vetting process as she was going on annual leave. Great communication by phone and email and even a good luck text before my interview which was a really lovely touch. I would thoroughly recommend Randstad if you are looking to get a new job. They have made the process really smooth and as stress free as possible. Thank you Brooke & Robert!

Unprofessional and inconsistent

Someone sent me a job post from Randstad as she knew the people who run the company, if she didn't know them I wouldn't thought Randstad was an identity theft scam.I applied for a job through Randstad. I should've know it was going to be terrible from the first moment I tried to contact the recruiter. We scheduled in a call which didn't happen and I was very adaptable the first time. It happened twice after that, with an eventual call hours after we had arranged. Then the process of applying happened and I heard nothing back, no confirmation of receipt, no answering my questions, even when I phoned the person was never available and "would contact you when she's free" -its been weeks.I'm so glad I didn't provide references and possibly cause upheavel at my current job with how badly this was managed.

Lack of knowledge and incompetent

I contacted Randstad UK to discuss some of their current roles in nurseries and the person I spoke to didn't really listen to me and asked me the same questions multiple times. She seemed to lack understanding about the difference between a nursery and a primary school, and did not understand the difference between working with young children and young adults, and thought a job in a college might be working with children under 5. I felt extremely let down. I was also asking for full time, all year round work, ideally working 8-6 or 9-5 and she told me they didn't have roles with these hours, despite me looking at some on their website. I told her I was no longer interested and asked her to remove my details from their database. She confirmed this and then the same day another member of the team emailed me, and again I asked to have my details removed. After this had been confirmed the orignal person called and emailed me to say she'd made a mistake and they did have roles with my ideal hours. Again I asked for my details to be removed from their system. I felt disappointed, let down and shocked by the lack of professionalism and failure to comply with GDPR. I would not recommend.
