client testimonial
a longstanding relationship
Sharon Wisniewski, Training and Design Manager at GAME, uses us regularly for her recruitment needs due to our fast and efficient service, and the strong business relationship formed with GAME over more than 10 years.
Randstad Retail have successfully placed over 100 candidates a year across the UK over this period, smoothly and effectively, with minimum disruption to the client.
How? Her key account manager David Davies and his team invested real time and effort in understanding the exact calibre and characteristics of staff that GAME are looking for, and in building a long term relationship with GAME. This means that they know the skills GAME are looking for inside out, as well as those all-important personality requirements which will make candidates more likely to “fit in” with GAME teams quickly.
This strong relationship means that Sharon and GAME have a high level of confidence that Randstad will deliver against their requirements, time after time. At one time GAME would go out to various different agencies to fill their roles, now Randstad is their only port of call when recruiting externally.
delivery on roles
Sharon and GAME have built a strong and lasting business relationship with their Randstad team, based on delivery and mutual trust. GAME know we are committed to their account and will provide them with dedication to sourcing candidates even, and especially, for those hard-to-fill positions.
Sharon describes this relationship as:
“An effective partnership, not a set of single transactions. The team at Randstad Retail have spent time building up a real relationship with GAME, so know our business inside out. When acting on our vacancies they are dedicated, efficient and I can expect very high standards from the candidates they present.
David and his team have an in-depth knowledge about the roles we recruit for and our company, so can select relevant candidates and avoid time wasting when filling positions. I would recommend their services to other retailers seeking a quality partner for their retail recruitment.”
