Overview
Answering the phone, replying to email queries, chasing students/workers for timesheets and a very small amount of recruitment.
Skills
Improved my ability to write emails and deal with conflict- usually on inbound phone calls.
Responsibilities
We were given the same responsibility as the permanent staff
Support & Guidance
Lots of support and guidance was provided
Culture
The general company culture was good- the team I was in were really helpful and welcoming. Some of the permanent staff were quite unwelcoming but aren't often in the office so it wasn't a major issue.
Your Impressions
Personally, I did not find the placement motivating or challenging; the role is very repetitive and admin based. However, I understand that the work at Randstad is vital for DSA students, just not the role for me. I did really like my fellow placement students and made some great friends!
No
It is worth doing if you're needing a placement as you are with lots of other placement students which is brilliant. Please be aware that the role is not challenging/exciting- this isn't a criticism of Randstad, it is just the role as an Account Specialist.
