Randstad Holding

Randstad NV, commonly known as Randstad and stylized as randstad, is a Dutch multinational human resource consulting firm headquartered in Diemen, Netherlands. It was founded in the Netherlands in 1960 by Gerrit Daleboudt and Frits Goldschmeding.

Randstad was a sponsor of the English Formula One team Williams F1 from 2006 until 2017. In 2019, Randstad became the sponsor of the Italian Formula 1 team Scuderia Toro Rosso, since 2020 called AlphaTauri.

In August 2016 the firm announced acquisition of job search website Monster Worldwide Inc.

In 2019, according to Staffing Industry Analysts’ Largest Global Staffing Firms 2019 list Randstad became the largest staffing and recruitment company in terms of revenue.

In 2019 Google contracted with Randstad to collect data for its Pixel 4 facial recognition authentication feature. Google's stated goal with the project was to make the feature more inclusive by collecting facial data from people with dark skin, and those participating in the research were given a $5 gift certificate. However, the New York Daily News reported that Randstad project leaders allegedly directed its workers to maximize data collection by deceiving participants and targeting homeless people in Atlanta, Georgia. Randstad stated that, after hearing concerns about how information was presented to participants and obtaining consent, the project was temporarily suspended and project leaders were retrained. After the Daily News published its report, Google said it had shut down its field research and was investigating the allegations.

In March 2011, Frits Goldschmeding (1933, Dutch), original founder of Randstad, resigned as vice chairman of the Supervisory Board. His last term ran from 2007 to 2011.
