history

Randstad branch

In 1960 Frits Goldschmeding founded the Randstad company in Amstelveen - at that time under the name "Uitzendbureau Amstelveen", in 1964 it was renamed "Randstad Uitzendbureau". Expansion to Belgium began in 1965, and the markets in England and Germany were opened up a little later. In 1978 the company name was changed to "Randstad Holding nv". Twenty years after it was founded, the group had sales of 500 million Dutch guilders (converted: 226 million euros ). In 2018 the name was changed to "Randstad NV".

For its 25th anniversary in 1985, Randstad was active with 257 branches in four countries (1,600 in-house employees, 35,000 temporary workers). Randstad Holding was listed on Euronext Amsterdam five years later . The net income was more than 90 million Dutch guilders (40 million euros). In the same year the new headquarters in Diemen opened .

The takeover of the "Flex Group" in 1992 was Randstad's largest acquisition to date, followed a year later by the personnel service providers "Temp Force" and "Jane Jones" and the associated entry into the American market. The company employed 16,000 people to support the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta .

In 1998, Hans Zwarts took over the position of CEO, replacing the founder Frits Goldschmeding. In 2000 the group celebrated its 40th anniversary with sales of 13 billion Dutch guilders (equivalent to 5.8 billion euros). Two years later, Cleem Farla became CEO, who was replaced by Ben Noteboom a year later (2003) for health reasons.

In 2004 the company started its business activities in Poland , with the takeover of "Intersource" and "Job Net", Randstad became the market leader there. In 2005 Randstad took over "Galilei" in Belgium, "Gamma Dienstverlening" in the Netherlands and "Martin Ward Anderson" in Great Britain, one year later "Bindan" and Teccon in Germany, "Team4U" in India and "Talent Shanghai" in China added. In 2008 Randstad took over competitor Vedior .

structure

With 68 percent, the temporary work segment (“staffing”) made up the largest share of the Group's total sales in 2010 . The segment of executive recruiting (“professionals”) follows with 18 percent. The remaining 14 percent is accounted for by so-called “in-house services”, in which Randstad employees coordinate and look after the temporary workers on site at the customer's company.

criticism

In the program “ Monitor ” ( ARD ) on November 24, 2011, the handling of “working time accounts” at Randstad is criticized. Contrary to the Temporary Employment Act (AÜG) Section 11 (4), Randstad passed the risk of idle times on to the employee.
