Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 11 February 2019

Great contract/temp work
Temp. Specifications Coordinator at Safeway Canada (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 4 February 2019
Many recruiters are great and have your back when placing you. There are times that in order too keep working you must take a different position than desired or make less money.
productive
Account Associate (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 17 January 2019
good place to work for part time, I liked the management, my typical day was slow and long but got my job done everyday. I learned how to scan and copy documents in a mass amount.
Pros
Benefit option package
Cons
early hours
They will do their job if you are willing to do yours.
Receiver/Shipper (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 11 January 2019
Judging by other people's reviews it would seem that your own experience with Randstad can be a bit of a hit and miss, but my own experience with the Toronto branch has been good overall, so I am inclined to focus on the positives here.
Firstly, job placements were very speedy. I put in the word in the morning that I was ready to work, and recruiters responded in the afternoon with relevant opportunities. Staff are friendly and professional. You are informed ahead of time regarding the nature of the jobs and the work hours. The employment opportunities they offer are fair, and you get your paychecks on time.
Obviously temper your expectations to fit realities: you most likely won't find your dream jobs here. Most offers are temporary (permanent pending on performance), probably dreadfully dull and relatively low paying, but if you are willing to put in the hours then you will get paid. Don't expect to be treated like a rock star and be prepared to work. Everything's fair n square.

Quick in placing you but lack of assistance during contract
contractor (Former Employee) – Anjou, QC – 7 January 2019
I was placed rather quickly but there was a lack of communication between my employer and the agency. I was provided with very little information as far as ressources and references for an active employee.
Shockingly incompetent management!
Labourer-sorter (Former Employee) – Paris, Ont. – 24 December 2018
Incompetent, unethical, incompassionate management. Their client had myself and fellow co-workers worked in unsafe work conditions. Apparently no health and safety officer! Their client abused me and forced me to endure harassment throughout my time on assignment. Randstad in-house management was inaccessible to deal with complaints (didn't answered or return phone calls). Hard work, reliability, and teamwork was not appreciated! Disgusting, uncaring attitude from all levels of Randstad management. When I got injured at work, they discarded me like trash! I have never been so disrespected in my life. I am very disappointed. Randstad and their client should be ashamed of themselves!
Pros
Some friendly co-workers. Free coffee.
Cons
Disrespectful work environment. Slimy employer!
Randstad really goes to bat for you.
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 21 December 2018
For temporary assignment recruitment you need to have some patients. The recruiters really try their best to find a great fit for your skills and are always available to contact if you have any questions and concerns.
Environnement de travail productif, dynamique et enthousiaste
Commis d'entrepôt Simons (Former Employee) – Québec City, QC – 19 December 2018
Une journée typique de travail est celle qui regorge d'un dynamisme et d'une courtoisie entre collègues indépendamment du rôle dans le but de rendre la productivité efficace et sans ennuis.
Pros
Repas gratuit
Cons
moyen de déplacement (distance)
Helped me land a phenomenal role with an employee focused company!
Prospect (Former Employee) – Burlington, ON – 14 December 2018
I had a wonderful experience with Randstad Burlington ON, they really took the time to accommodate me after hours and find a company that was a suitable match for both myself and my future employer. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a serious career position and is a true professional. You can not expect them to get you a job, you need to do that part on your own, however, they can and will match you where best suited.
Professional Personnel, striving to provide awesome customer experiences!
Shipper/ Receiver and Material Handler (Former Employee) – Fort Saskatchewan, Nisku AB – 11 December 2018
Great crew. I experienced nothing but friendly professionalism. There was never a boring day. Job placement recruiting is more difficult than it looks.
Pros
Personnel and management
Cons
Long hours

working with ranstsd is not pleasent, but being at michelin is good, only problem is i was there for two years now and still not hired on by michelin. iam doing too good of a job at a cheap rate.
Productive and fast-pased enviroment
Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) – Whitby, ON – 3 December 2018
A typical day at work would probably consists of working the punch-press, cutting corners off of aluminum beams and punching holes in the aluminum beam. I learned about how to work in a fabrication and architectural environment. Plus learn different tasks of the job like working cutting wood, thin and thick aluminum beams and quantity of item in a bin or on top of a skid. The hardest part of the job consists of how to become a Tig-welder. The most enjoyable and easiest part of the job was punch-pressing holes in a 6-8 ft. Beams.
Pros
It was unionized
