We leverage a powerful combination of industry expertise and cutting-edge technology to overcome skills shortages. Our vast, curated database, built over 50 years of experience, is enhanced by Textkernel, an AI-powered solution for staffing and recruiting. This technology allows us to quickly match candidates to open jobs, analyse CVs, and leverage labour market intelligence. We also implement a multi-channel attraction strategy, combining traditional recruitment channels with targeted digital marketing campaigns and partnerships with local organisations like the Job Centre. We're committed to finding diverse talent, including through our partnerships with the Armed Forces Covenant. Our expertise extends to upskilling and retraining, building future talent pools, and leveraging industry body networks for broader reach.

At Randstad, sustainability is a core value, driving our commitment to Net Zero emissions by 2050. We are actively reducing our environmental impact through initiatives like electric vehicle adoption, renewable energy use, and sustainable travel policies. We believe sustainable talent pools are essential for client success. We help build these pools by connecting clients with subject matter experts, supporting succession planning, and nurturing future talent passionate about sustainability. By aligning our goals with those of our clients, we create a positive impact on both our business and the world around us, building a more sustainable future together.

Randstad uses Signal, a software application, to monitor worker fatigue and ensure compliance with regulated working hours. We recognise that managing fatigue is a collective responsibility, as fatigue can stem from long hours, misaligned body clocks, heavy workloads, and insufficient rest. Fatigue significantly increases the likelihood of importance of effective fatigue management strategies within the industry, something we take seriously.
