Our history


Randstad

Our journey began with two enthusiastic students, an old bicycle, 500 Dutch Guilders and a dash of entrepreneurial spirit. They had the appetite and drive to excel in their careers. Now we have energetic teams in 39 countries and we are always on the hunt for more ambitious recruitment consultants to join us and keep the momentum alive.

Randstad founder Frits Goldschmeding is now in his eighties and still loves work! In fact, he calls it his hobby he enjoys it so much. Who’d have thought that reading one book on philosophy and a bike ride with a friend would change his life…not to mention the world of work?

We have big plans for the future and we need like-minded people to help us make more history.

Randstad Australia

1960 marked the birth of a recruitment revolution. Two young Economics graduates, Frits Goldschmeding and Gerrit Daleboudt, started their own staffing company, seeing an opportunity for a more flexible approach to labour. Over 5 decades later, Randstad has become one of the most recognised recruitment brands in the world. We have 29,570 employees in 39 countries.

We are a team of passionate professionals who work hard and work smart. With big plans for the future, we need like-minded people to help us make more history.
