We will now take a closer look at the sector in which the Randstad group operates, with a presentation of its main competitors on the market:
First of all, we will closely follow the Manpower Group which is a multinational company specialising in human resources consulting, recruitment, temporary work and IT infrastructure services. The group was created in 1948 in the United States and is one of the historical players in temporary work. It then diversified over time to expand into other HR services and became the Manpower Group with over 27,000 employees in 2,900 offices across more than 80 countries.
Another major competitor to Randstad is the Adecco Group which is a Swiss company specialising in the temporary employment sector and is currently ranked among the top 500 companies in the world by Forbes magazine.
Another competitor to Randstad is the Crit Group, which is also a temporary employment company but which has recently also developed a business in airport handling. The group is currently listed on the Paris Stock Exchange. It has thus become the leader in airport assistance in France and is also among the 10 leaders in this sector worldwide. Crit is currently also developing activities in engineering and industrial maintenance.
Finally, the French group Synergie is also a competitor to watch, specialising in temporary work, recruitment and training. It was founded in 1969 in Nantes and is now present in 17 countries with a network of over 750 agencies employing nearly 4,000 people. It is listed on the Paris Stock Exchange and is part of the CAC Small 90 index.
Let's take a look at the Randstad Group's strategic allies, which often form alliances with other companies in order to boost their business or profitability. Here are two recent examples of such partnerships:
In 2020, the group partnered with GamersOrigin to help professional or amateur gamers identify their softskills and thus facilitate their access to the job market in the video game industry or other sectors. Through this partnership agreement, the two companies welcomed this collaboration, which was designed around shared values such as professionalism, commitment and team spirit. The partnership will allow players to identify their key skills and to enhance them on the job market. Through this collaboration, GamersOrigin will also be able to benefit from Randstad's expertise in recruiting job profiles related to the operation of an esport structure.
In the midst of the coronavirus crisis that hit the aviation sector hard, Brussels Airlines staff were forced into short-time working. But with the recovery of the demand for air travel in the market taking longer than expected, this temporary work system has been extended. Thus, in order to further limit the financial and social impact of this long period of inactivity on its employees, the airline signed a partnership with Randstad in 2020 to help employees who wish to return to work to find another job on a temporary basis while waiting to regain their position within the company.
