In 2000 Randstad Zeit-Arbeit and time power merged to become Randstad Germany .
In 2005 the Randstad Group Germany generated sales of EUR 754 million and was the market leader in the temporary work sector in Germany for the first time.

In 2009 Bindan and Vedior were fully integrated into the Randstad Group Germany . In 2011 Team BS was renamed Tempo-Team .

In 1970, works councils were elected for the first time at Randstad (then Randstad Zeit-Arbeit ).

In 2000, Randstad Germany concluded a nationwide collective agreement for inter-company employees with DAG and ÖTV . A year later, the personnel service provider and ver.di agreed on a nationwide collective agreement. In 2003, this served as the basis for the development of the new collective bargaining agreements that have been in force in the entire temporary employment sector since January 2004. Randstad himself has joined the branch collective agreement of BZA ( Federal Association of Temporary Employment Personnel Services ), today BAP ( Federal Employers' Association of Personnel Service Providers ), and DGB ( German Trade Union Confederation ) and transferred the existing company collective agreement with ver.di to the new branch collective agreement.
