Randstad - Talent First Employment Agency

Home > Randstad > Our History

When you join the Randstad team, you'll be part of a rich history of innovation. That means you can be assured that we're constantly striving to find new, better ways of working for you.

From the very first day Dutchman Frits Goldschmeding opened the door to his one-room office in Amsterdam, Randstad has delivered creative employment solutions to companies all over Europe and North America. His basic philosophy was simple, yet powerful: Know. Serve. Trust.

That was back in 1960. But those concepts are still alive today as we make it our vision to put you, our talent, first. With Agents who know you, serve you, and build a trusting relationship.

Today, Randstad is one of the largest temporary and contract staffing organizations in the world, with more than 2,000 offices in Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. We believe this dramatic growth comes from Randstad leading the industry with our cutting edge concepts and "talent first" practices.
