Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Writing job adverts, calling applicants, completing registration interviews, taking candidates through the onboarding process, matching them with roles and placing into a school.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility as I was placed into a team where there wasn't an existing team of permanent staff. I have been treated like a permanent employee all year in terms of my role within the team which at times has been a little much, especially when I was still new and learning.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
At the start I had a lot of support and guidance but due to a managerial change, my team hasn't had a manager present for the last few months of our placement which has been challenging at times. We originally also had 1 to 1s scheduled once a week to discuss how the role was going but these never ended up happening.
How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
My team was based in an office with no other Randstad teams so we felt a little cut off at times. The few occasions where we did interact with other Randstad employees was really good as everyone I've ever had contact with has been really lovely and welcoming.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Overall I would say I have enjoyed my placement year but at times I haven't been treated the best by some of my colleagues which obviously meant I wasn't enjoying myself.

What advice would you give to others applying to Randstad
Make sure you're applying for a role in an already established team. Having colleagues in your office will really help in your professional development, even in the way of mimicking the way they do their job.
