I'm currently on a temp assignment and am absolutely miserable (it started as a 5 month contract but a bunch of us were recently notified that our contracts were extended indefinitely). I got the job through my father, who works at the same company but was referred to a local temp agency to set up paperwork and whatnot. At the end of November, I logged onto the temp agency website and made myself "available" for future assignments as I'm looking to leave this current assignment as soon as possible. I even applied to a few in the hopes I could get reassigned.
A different recruiter, in a different location but the same agency called me about one of the jobs that I applied for and has a few others she wants to submit me for in case this one doesn't work out. I was talking to my Dad about it and he said that it's unethical for the temp agency to be recruiting me for another assignment when I'm currently on one.
So I have a few questions I hope someone can answer. Is it unethical for the temp agency to find me another assignment even if I applied to the position and it's a different recruiter? I didn't technically get the temp job through this agency, in fact, I've only ever talked to the recruiter who set up my paperwork ONCE. Should the recruiter that I've been in talks with know that I'm technically with this temp agency? I don't want to leave my current position even though I'm miserable if I don't have another position lined up. But since this recruiter has multiple positions potentially lined up, I don't want to lose out on the opportunities if it is unethical for the temp agency to recruit me for a different assignment when I'm currently in one indefinitely.

Hi i am concern i love working for randstad but lately i feel like this company is all lies. They say they Don't have any jobs avaiable but when you look on there job site they do. I call every morning around 8am to find work they say i should call once a week and they will put me on availbity list.If something comes up they will give me a call. They only call me when no one the job like housekeeping. I had have some bad reports in the past but it was all over a car. AND I HAVE EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM BUT THEY KEEP ASKING ME THE SAME QUESTION,If they can make notes onn my file then why couldn't make a note about that. We all have car problems but they make it seem like they never had a car problem. See i on;y work there one day but they have working a full month.NO one really take the time to really look at the dates. I don't understand why tell me to call back when there is a job avaiable. Like i said i love working at randstad but why not give me a good job. I have alot of exprience, I work in the clercial postion, warehouse postion, and even office postion, but i can't seem to get a job from them anymore. I read that randstad helps people everyday to find work but i have been put on the avaiablity list for almost two months can some body explain to me what is going on.

In 2011 Ranstand had posted well paying jobs in Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Food and Manufacturing
with an starting pay rate of $19.26 an hour, but after going there in person and meeting with their
recruiters for the job posting of $19.26 an hour, they instead started to offer other job types of
much lower pay rates of $13.00 an hour, and stated, once these jobs become "available" I would be considered for the opening.
But currently these job postings are listed to obtain candidates for future positions.
So not only did they waste my time and hopes of obtaining a sound position with good pay, but they
also wasted my gas money to drive into Montreal 45 minutes (each way), I was very disappointed with
them at the Ranstand Pointe-Claire Location, please be warned for any openings they promise,
they will make all kinds of promises on the phone, but they do not delivery in person!

I may possibly start a new job with Randstad next week. I am working through Randstad in Burlington, MA. I'm just wondering if there are anyone else who have dealt with Randstad in Burlington and what their experiences are. I also would like to hear what Randstad is like in general. Your comments are appreciated.
Thanks

What do you think -- is this company going to survive and thrive? Are they looking to expand their staff, or do you think layoffs are inevitable?
How does Randstad stack up against the competition?
