HR technologies

Our use of innovative HR technologies for talent matching and services

Our ultimate goal is to support people and organizations in realizing their true potential. We believe that the best way to achieve that goal is by combining our passion for people with the power of today’s HR technologies. By HR technologies we mean technologies that help us digitize and enhance a variety of recruitment-related processes. 

For example we use chatbots (instead of non-interactive contact forms) to improve your talent experience.  Chatbots are a user-friendly way for candidates to:

• provide us with their identification and contact details.
• make appointments with our consultants.
• apply for registration in our registry of candidates.
• answer at any moment convenient to the user.

As part of the larger recruitment process, HR technologies allow us to connect candidates more quickly to our consultants. This, in turn, allows our consultants to better support candidates in exploring jobs and to deliver the right candidates more quickly to our clients. HR technologies also allow our consultants to find people based not only on the jobs they qualify for but also on the basis of jobs they are interested in. 

Improving the client experience 

HR technologies help us to search through a broader and more diverse set of candidates so that we become even better at finding the best talent with the most relevant skill-set for our clients. Thanks to these technologies our consultants can focus on the tasks that require genuinely human traits that technology cannot emulate: creativity and emotion. 

Responsible use of HR technologies

Randstad is committed to the ethical and responsible use of innovative HR technologies (you can read our AI principles here). Randstad does not use these technologies as a substitute for humans or human interaction in any part of its processes. Instead, our use of HR technologies is intended to make interactions with clients and candidates more personal, relevant and meaningful.

We strive to involve human beings whenever we make decisions that significantly impact you. If, in exceptional cases, we were to make such decisions based on a fully automated process (ie. without involvement of humans), we will only do so where that is permitted by law and after having notified you. Please note that for the purpose of selecting the most suitable candidates for the vacant position, our companies perform profiling of job applicants registered in our registry of candidates and in doing so, they use an information system to compare candidates' qualification criteria with the requirements for the job. Candidate profiles offered by the system as suitable are always further reviewed by the consultant and then the consultant approaches suitable candidates with an offer for the job.

To ensure all candidates are treated fairly we take steps to avoid bias where we use HR technologies. For example:

• We regularly test the output created by these technologies to identify potential unfair bias.
• We regularly obtain expert advice to continuously improve the way in which we identify and remove bias.
• Both our consultants and our search and match algorithms are thoroughly trained and always work together. 

with whom do we share your personal data

We may share your personal data:

• with other entities of the Randstad group of companies. We are part of a multinational group of companies and sometimes we may share personal data with other Randstad groups of companies for the purposes of efficient management of business, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and to provide our Services to you (include as matching) and to our clients. For an overview of these entities, click here.

• with third parties providing HR-related services to use (e.g. payroll service providers, benefit providers: meal vouchers and cafeterias, telephone operators, insurance companies providing pension and life insurance, company providing operation leasing of company vehicles).
• with third party providers of IT-related services (e.g. we use an external provider to support our IT-infrastructure; e.g. an important part of our software and databases sit in a cloud-environment which is operated by a third party service provider).
• with third parties providers of marketing-related services (e.g. we may store your personal data in a cloud-based CRM-application that is hosted and provided by a third party service provider; e.g. when we use a third party service provider to organise an event we may share your personal data with that third party in order to invite you to that event).
• with providers of professional services (e.g. to our auditors, our tax advisors, our legal advisors).
• with providers of other necessary services (e.g. security).
• with banks and insurers (e.g. in order to pay the salaries of our temporary workers we share some of their personal data with our bank).
• with pension funds. 
• with public authorities (e.g. pursuant to applicable law Randstad must disclose personal data to the social security authorities and to tax authorities).
• with law enforcement authorities, courts and regulatory authorities (e.g. as part of a criminal investigation police services may require us to disclose personal data to them).

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties:

• in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; or
• if all or a substantial part of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case the personal data that we hold about you may be one of the transferred assets.

When we share your personal data as described above, such personal data may be transferred both within and outside the European Economic Area (EEA).



In the event that we transfer your personal data internationally, we will only do so in line with applicable law, and we will require that there is an adequate level of protection for your personal data, and that appropriate security measures are in place.



Your personal data may be transferred from countries located within the EEA to countries located outside of the EEA (such as the United States). In such cases, we will require that the following safeguards are observed:

• The laws of the country to which your personal data is transferred ensure an adequate level of data protection. Click here for the list of non-EEA countries that, according to the European Commission, provide an adequate level of data protection; or
• The transfer is subject to standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission. More information about those data protection clauses is available here; or
• Any other applicable appropriate safeguards under article 46 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679).
