Pros

Recruitment consulting is a challenging job and requires resilience, commitment and passion for dealing with people. Given the many unpredictable factors we face on a daily basis, it is extremely crucial to have an understanding and supportive company culture - which is exactly what Randstad Singapore provides. With a set of excellent leaders both at a Directorial and Managerial level, they know how to bring out your best performance by guiding you there at your pace. Recruitment is not for everyone, but if you think you can do well in this job, Randstad is definitely the place for you.

Cons

Being a consulting / sales role a good measure of resilience and passion is needed to get you through some days. A career in recruitment consulting anywhere across Singapore is bound to measure you by various metrics, though in Randstad the company culture is designed in such a manner that it supports you to push yourself and achieve big results for yourself and the company. This high-performance culture can be intimidating for some!

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
