the Randstad group

Besides regular services like staffing, recruitment or selection of middle management, we support our partners with numerous other activities worldwide. Among these is the in-house service, where the Randstad consultant carries out their task at the client, or other HR services tailored to the needs of the partners.

Randstad was founded in 1960 by Frits Goldschmeding. The revenue for the first year was 4.32 Euro. Currently we are present in 53 countries, which accounts for 90 percent of the global HR market. With the acquisition of the Vedior group in July 2008, we emerged as the second largest HR services provider in the world. Our mission is to be a world leader in matching demand for and supply of labor and HR services. In doing so, we continue to apply our founding ethos: “to know, to serve, to trust.” We believe in the value of work as a unifying force that shapes society for the better.

The Randstad Group has major positions in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, and the southeastern United States. We have more than 34,000 employees working from 5,400 branches in 53 countries worldwide. Randstad and Vedior generated combined revenue of € 17.6 billion in 2007. Randstad Holding nv is headquartered in Diemen, the Netherlands, and is listed on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam exchange, where options for stocks in Randstad are also traded.
