Randstad

The jobs they post online are better than what they can offer you (seems like they are trying to fool people to sign up with them). Even if you call them about an opportunity you saw posted on the same day, they will say it’s not available and offer something less desirable. Recruiters do not seem friendly or helpful. I felt that my interview was rushed; I wasn’t even notified that the job I originally applied for was no longer available. I highly recommend trying a different agency.

They said they gonna send me some details but they never replied, i sent follow up emails but still they have never replied!

I have been contacted by Randstad not only once. I was actively seeking new employment and between my jobs, I also had several contacts with other agencies. So as a middle level worker who has gone to countless interviews, I do believe I have a say here.
1. Randstad: Professional. The managers I talked with were very gentle, treated you respectively. Punctual, and greatly shortened my waiting time.
Randstad Rating: 5 stars.
2. Sales Talent Agency: Nice lady, only have jobs in sales, time-​efficient, respect candidates. Overall pleasant experience. But could be more professional. e.g. They forgot my interview once. But since that was their long-​term partner, it was not too bad.
Sales Talent Agency Rating: 4 stars.
3. Executrade: Mixed reviews here. One of the recruiters I talked with was very professional. Although I had sent my resume and left several different voice messages to other recruiters, I never got any feedbacks from them. Overall, for other recruiters, they could be more responsive.
Executrade Rating: 3.5 stars.
4. S.I.System: Contacted several times. Followed their procedure and left several messages. Went to the interviews. Never heard from them ever since. Should be better.
S.I.System Rating: 3 stars.
5. Eagle Professionals: Contacted twice. Nice lady, polite. Though the company could have more jobs in the data-​pool, the recruiter was approachable.
Eagle Professionals Rating: 3 stars.
6. Adecco: Contacted once. For a big company, they could put more trust in their candidates. Stop thinking all new developed candidates are questionable and unreliable.
Roevin, A Subsidiary of Adecco: Very professional and respectful recruiter. That is where the good ends. The manager was full of ego and immersed in a self-​salutary delusion. Not recommended.
Adecco/​Roevin Rating: 2 stars. For the sake of the young, professional, and respectful recruiter that I talked with.

As an update to my earlier post on September 17^th, I am STILL if you can believe it, waiting to receive my payroll deposit from the City of Edmonton job I had earlier this month! :(
1^st response from my Recruiter earlier this week on the 22^nd: ‘I’ll have a look and get back to you ASAP.‘
All this past week, he hadn’t gotten back to me, so I figured as today’s Friday, the screw up would have been straightened out and I would have received my deposit. Nope!
2^nd response when I checked my RBC account and again, the e-​mail response from my Recruiter when I had e-​mailed him earlier today: ‘I’m not sure what is holding it up, I have sent a message to our payroll department to follow up with them once more — Hopefully I can get a response as to what is causing the delay. I checked my bank account again– and STILL no deposit.
Does THIS give you an idea of what you could be dealing with??? I expect much better professionalism and client customer service than what I’ve been getting. But it’s no big deal, it’s only money!!! :(

The people that work here are complete idiots and treat you like absolute crap. After going for 3 interviews they found me a couple jobs, I was looking for permanent, not temporary. But most of the jobs they found were just awful, nothing like the jobs they post on
.
What ever you do, do NOT go to randstad to find a job, I just kept sending in applications to jobs that I was interested in and found an amazing Administrative Assistant role in a huge firm. All by myself. No help from randstad.
It’s funny because the guy that had «interviewed» me at randstad came into our office to speak with our manager about using them as a hiring service and he recognized me and was so surprised to see that I had found my own job! What a jerk! So I made sure to tell my manager how terrible they are and she was really glad that I let her know. I’m glad to say that we won’t be needing their services.
