Randstad

The beauty of working for an agency was the different places of work on a daily basis. Being able to meet new clients and fellow workers which gave me a adaptable and great learning experiences to handle a diverse range of disabilities and manage challenging behaviours ,in  the work place.
I built a trusting relationship with my employer which enabled me to work in the most difficult and challenging roles and being capable of following guidelines and regulations in place .This gave me a constant flow of work with the agency.
I met a lot of co-workers over the years and worked in a professional manner at all times. There has been some personalities which I have clashed with,but resolved our differences quickly and without fuss .
The hardest part of the job would be if a client died. The loss is very hurtful and you miss them. It is very hard not to get attached to your clients.
The most enjoyable part is when you turn up for work and the clients have a big warm smile on their faces and you know that they trust and like you being there in their home, than its worth it.

As a casual it was enjoyable because you work when you want nominating your days. Randstad always issued shifts early in the day or evening  so you can say yes or no.
I learnt it is not an easy job to accommodate all workers into casual employment on large job sites due to changes in the work load within the company you are assigned to. Management were as open and honest as required under company structure of managing each assignment on the merits of the workers and the client involved.
Work place culture was friendly towards casual staff.
Staff working through all questions and supporting any issues such as hours wanted by casual workers and payment of wages to the best of their ability. 
Hardest part was using the nominated time keeping and working shifts allocation on Deputy app.  Sometimes shifts were allocated and then disappeared and you were left not knowing if there was a shift to attend or just appear at work. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my time being employed by Randstad to work for Arnott's Biscuits. I worked night shifts 3pm-11pm mon-fri and the work environment was quite relaxed and easy going, the workers were awesome people and everyone worked well together on the production line. We would have a Friday Night Dinner for our shift so we would all bring in a plate of food. One great perk of the job was we were allowed to eat biscuits off the line. The job gave me flexibility which I need as a single Mum of 3 children. One of the hardest things about the job was having to learn to get along with other co-workers who either are different nationality/speak english as second language/people who just don't like/take to you for whatever reason. The most enjoyable part was learning all the different Procedures relating to Machinery as we had to be tested on our Lockout Tag Out Procedure, gaining new skills in general.

What is the best part of working at the company?
IT WAS having my own portal and being able to select my work days & shift times the way I wanted to. I could suss out & plan around my working schedule.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having change in staff- mainly the mangers/ceo etc. They don't know the job, employees the way the consultants do & therefore they need not judge before they make decisions. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Now....it's reputation doesn't stand for much anymore. They were once and awesome company but now, they've just fallen AND nobody seems to want to fix that!!
Literally half of the girls answering phones don't know what theyre doing or how to navigate whatever system is in front of them.....no passion in the job anymore.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When I'm not communicating with them... AAWEOSME! ALTHOUGH hats off to one lady who went above and beyond just bcoz it was what she did 🙃

Randstad excellent agency providing job opportunities in variety of work sectors.   Professional staff who manages relief staff equitable.   Excellent salary.  Working with Randstad for the past 18 months has given me great insight into a variety of professional practices within the industry of childcare.  Worked in long day care and OSHC throughout the metropolitan and has gained great knowledge of the importance of diversity and difference.  Devising and implementing developmentally appropriate learning environments based on keen observations individual needs and interests of children.  Understand the pivotal importance of supervising children ensuring safety and security.  Of further importance is the ability to engage meaningfully with children in a fun and inviting learning environment providing positive outcomes.  Communication is key between children and members of the team.

A typical day at work is hard to explain when you are a temporary contract worker unless you have been granted a long-term contract. Some of my contracts could last as little as a day or as long as 15 months. I could also be employed in a variety of positions.

I have learnt about records handling, strengthened my skills in MS Office, database management, how to communicate clearly with all levels of staff. Privacy issues and attention to detail.

In my last role my co-workers were extremely friendly and helpful. There was great morale in the workplace.

The hardest part of the job is moving onto the next contract after getting to know the staff in the company.

Gaining confidence and versatility from each new experience.

Randstad has to be the most professional and organised Recruitment/Labour Hire Agency I have ever worked for. 
They look after you, pay on time, and actively seek out work that best suits your skills and experience.
I have worked numerous short term assignments with Randstad over the past 5 years and they have always looked after me.
If I am between jobs (as I am a person who prefers short term contracts), or if a contract I was working ends, they ALWAYS have another role available should you wish to take it! 
I can truthfully say that with Randstad I have never been waiting longer than a week for them to find me another job 
I honestly cannot praise them enough. They truly are the best Labour Hire Agency around.

The people at the Randstad desk at the warehouse I am working at are very inconsistent with their job performance. The pays are more often than not wrong, they do fix the issues but they shouldn’t be happening so much in the first place. They blame all roster issues or lack of shifts on the new app they've moved to to avoid any responsibility (the app apparently assigns all shifts based on peoples preferences on days so not sure why they are even there if the app does their jobs for them). It is casual work but they expect full time availability and get annoyed when people treat it like a casual job which it is and send out passive aggressive emails telling us what we can and can’t do. If you have days marked unavailable they’ll call you the day before every time to come in even though you have marked that day unavailable it’s very annoying. 

Worked for the last 15 months as temp at Electrolux Mascot through the Randstad Agency. Loved the people, it was a pleasure to go to work. Your were treated like it mattered that you were there. They appreciated it when you went above and beyond, only left because I relocated and it was too far to travel to work. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and understood you only had access to certain areas as a temp, which at times I felt a little bit helpless, because I like to complete tasks and as an example I didn't have email access so if I was relieving on the reception I had to ring people with messages as opposed to emailing them, which I felt would have been more efficient.
