Randstad

I was recruited by Ranstad for a position that I was clearly qualified for. After our interview, we were discussing what the pay would be, and when they offered a significant amount less than my experience (13 years) and qualifications (worked in this position at 3 major hospital systems), would demand, they explained to me that if I were offered a permanent position, that company gave a «large bonus upfront, and an immediate pay raise.» They also said that I could «pretty much ask for and get what I wanted.»
I stopped looking for other employment at that time. I worked only 1 month when offered permanent employment, and at that time, At that meeting, no raise or bonus was discussed, so I asked my manager about that. She told me that that «never happens». I told her what I had been told by the Manager of Ranstad, and she said that not only was that incorrect, but that they needed to investigate this further, as that just made them look bad. Soon after I started at the company, another employee from the same Ranstad, was speaking to me and told me that the manager had told her there would be a «large bonus, and pay raise» if she were made permanent.
It seems that the people at Ranstad will lie to employees about future employment just to make money off the employee and because, once you are hired by the company, you have no recourse, as they have only said these things, and they are not in writing.
