Randstad Sourceright Employee Reviews & Ratings

Starting salary as an Education Consultant is low in comparison to other sectors of Recruitment (This is true for all companies, not just Randstad) however if you work hard, know your field and actually love what you do, then you can quickly narrow the gap!

Sometimes the job you take is a temp job, and not a temp to hire, which makes it hard if you're looking for guaranteed work.

Don't have paid holidays in the work.

Poor infrastructure leading to disaster

Slightly misleading about office days

You will give a big cut to Randstad for employing you

Coworkers may not always pull their weight.

increments & bonuses are not at par with other big companies

Best HR services for contract basis company

Currently missing the face to face interaction due to Covid

Don’t care about the employ The employees are just number and production machines…

Randstad reps didn't know very much about the job site they were hiring for. The place had very high turnover as work was very demanding and not very safe. They didn't seem to notice/care. Employee morale was the lowest I've seen at any workplace I've been in.

-Poor senior management – No support. The regional manager won’t remember your name and the second time you meet, they will tell you that “it’s nice to briefly meet you”. -Bullying & Harassment – Will threaten you with your probation (do not book any appointments during work hours, they don’t like this). Will also use threatening language. -Favouritism – Management only cares about the top biller. -Belittlement – You will be made to feel like you are the problem. -No set commission structure – My commission structure was not set for the whole time I was there. It was constantly being reviewed by the regional manager. I only received commission 5 times out of the 11 months I was there. -You will not control your commission or how much you earn. Your colleague will. -Will tell you you’re a 180 consultant but really, you are a 360 consultant. -Micromanagement – Your colleague will constantly review what you do on their screen in front of you. -When letting management know about a work issue, they will tell you to “let it go over your head”. -Will use personal situations against you – DO NOT CONFIDE IN ANYONE. -Will mess around with hybrid working – Told me I could work from home in second week. In fourth week, they told me I couldn’t. -Left me alone from 4pm to 6pm as a new starter. -Constant toxic, gossipy environment. -Feedback will be given out of working hours, even weekends. -I did not receive a pay rise when the whole company did (I was told this was a cost of living pay rise) - I was not told why, instead I was told I had been given a significant rise in salary compared to my previous job. -You will be humiliated in front of your team – emails sent to the team about your mistakes. -Probation extended without a warranted reason – I exceeded all of my targets before my 6 month probation. -Extended probation ended in January, just after the companywide pay rise (Surprise, surprise). -You will not be given a pay rise once you pass probation and you will be told this is Randstad’s policy. -You will be blamed for mistakes made by others and you will have to investigate this yourself (When you raise this to management, you will be told you are taking it “too personally”). But you will still be told to take responsibility for the mistake and bookings – when I was told I have NO control over bookings and my colleague will deal with it. And so much more...

Dont' pay night hours at all

Not a place for complacency or negative energy.

Sometimes not so chill I guess

strategic direction changes very often

The position is temporary, but not all of them are.

IT Managers aren't properly evaluated and there aren't any skip-level 1-on-1s so lazy and toxic managers can freely destroy their team morale while reaping all credit for the work done and still get kudos for it. Very little effort in trying to motivate people and actually understand why they get demotivated in the first place. The attitude is mostly "good people don't get demotivated". Pay is a little bellow industry average.

Travel to Phoenix, No established flex/remote work policy yet, office space is plain

it's set up for mircomanagement all the time from the direct manager to the vp, too many restrictions on working with clients, branch separation creates clients to go elsewhere-if they need an admin person and a warehouse person you have to refer one or the other to the right branch/division, not a good business model and they are extremely metrics driven not client driven

It's not a very ethnically diverse working environment. second thing is that they don't pay very well, although they do compensate with a lot of vacation days per year. Also it's very hard to get promoted and even if you do get promoted, your salary doesn't grow that much.

None that I can think of

No career progression. Low bonus, high targets.

nothing I can think of

big. you can't work with your prospect as legal is risk adverse so much to point where time kills any momentum and very little gets signed for new biz. no fun. frusturating is one word

Ever since new management came in, the turnover has been abysmal. Management has no background in engineering and has no perception of how to manage 3 offices in the West while sitting in the Toronto Office looking at spreadsheets all day. Management has no idea what's best for the business and how to retain talent. The new commission plan is extremely complicated and was a flat out lie that it was going to be better than the old. You simply don't get PAID at all for the first 16k billed per quarter whereas the old plan was straight forward and you were able to calculate your own commissions easier. People have quit over this plan and it doesn't seem to attract new employees because all of the competitors pay better. It's disappointing that this had to happen because Randstad Engineering used to do incredibly well pre 2016 but now the outlook of the division seems to diminish even when the economy is booming.

management always showed favoritism and disrespectful

Your carrer progress is quite limited

Some team leaders do not know how to be a leader and cant find an equilibrium inside teams and desitions that they make.

No cons to date yet

Pay needs to be higher

Long hours Big structure communication no parking work life balance

Nothing great place to work for

Recruitment is hard work, so you need to put a lot in to be successful, but if you have the right drive and determination you can certainly be very successful in Randstad as they will give you the skills and knowledge.

It can be a dreadful place to work. Corporate is only as good as its local management. Local central valley ca management is a nightmare.

Team too small, workload can be overwhelming.

Everything, You will never get paid for your work. No empathy. Salary? Hahaha You work is never appreciated

Long hours, made worth it by a strong culture of celebrating success

Lots of change Short term mindset

-pushy management who constantly micromanages -unrealistic goals -team turnover was insane and they never hired anyone new on so was constantly overworked. -never trained us and expected us to know what to do out the gate. -management constantly tried to push us to push candidates towards jobs that they did not want. -management did not foster and healthy work environment and team morale was constantly low. -no support

Usually a dead end job.

SALES! SALES! SALES! If you don't sell, it does not matter if you are in the middle of a pandemic, you are in trouble. There is a lot of pressure to make phone calls and sell. SUPER LOW PAY - Also, 80% of the workers will not meet requirements for bonuses! The bonus structure is confusing and not even my manager could explain it to us. Forget about getting a raise... that will never happen. SUPER HIGH TURNOVER OF EMPLOYEES. People start looking for an another job after 6 months in the position. PRO TIP: Never stop sending out your resume.

General recruitment market fluctuates heavily.

Fast paced working environment - which might not suit everyone

Could take more advantage of being a global company and encouraging more global opportunities.

The system is so bad

Internal politics, management, cliquey, favouritism

As with most companies, the IT department is the most unappreciated dept.

Long Hours & Demanding Can be political
