The difference Randstad makes
Here’s a quick overview of the challenges one of our clients faced managing their talent pool, and the results we were able to achieve. Read our case study, to find out how we did it.
A client faced talent challenges due to its seasonal business cycle. As the client approached peak season, they were struggling to keep an engaged talent pool of people ready to work at very short notice.
