Randstad

I also wasn’t treated very well by Ronstadt the recruiter that contacted me was very rude and unprofessional when she called her name was Danielle when she called she didn’t say hello all she said was is this Chris is this Chris and I thought that was very unprofessional and when I ask them who they were it was like she didn’t have to tell me she just wanted to know my name and then through the conversation about the job I’ve been doing the type of work I do for over 35 years and she tried to make me feel so I needed her word she was the only recruiter in town it’s not the first time I was treated rudely by Ronstadt horrible horrible company very unprofessional I would go the other way if anyone reads this post

I wasn’t treated well by Randstad. I’ve dealt with other temp firms over the years. Have never had a problem.
In a nutshell: Randstad hired me for a temp job. It would have been my second assignment at a particular company.
My rep. promised details like start time, report to: name, etc., in a couple days hence.
The morning the temp job is supposed to start, I’m antsy. My rep. from Randstad didn’t call to confirm the job details.
So I call Randstad at 7:30 am. Ask to speak with my representative. She says, tersely, «Oh. You no longer have that assignment.» No apology, no «I meant to call you». Basically, I’m feeling like I am nothing but a dust mote in this Randstad rep’s life.
I asked was there a problem. She said, yes, the company didn’t want me to return. That’s all. Period. No further explanations. Very odd, the whole episode with Randstad was very odd.
The upshot: I could accept this rep’s incomplete explanation, HOWEVER, she lacked the professionalism to call me and inform me of this change AND the common courtesy of an apology once she realized she never called me with the cancellation. If she is any indication of Randstad’s standards, my advice, dear reader, is to stay clear.
