Randstad was a sponsor of the English Formula One team Williams F1 from 2006 until 2017. In 2019, Randstad became the sponsor of the Italian Formula 1 team Scuderia Toro Rosso, since 2020 called AlphaTauri. [2] [3]

In August 2016 the firm announced acquisition of job search website Monster Worldwide Inc. [4]

Data collection for Google

In 2019 Google contracted with Randstad to collect data for its Pixel 4 facial recognition authentication feature. Google's stated goal with the project was to make the feature more inclusive by collecting facial data from people with dark skin, and those participating in the research were given a $5 gift certificate. However, the New York Daily News reported that Randstad project leaders allegedly directed its workers to maximize data collection by deceiving participants and targeting homeless people in Atlanta, Georgia. [6] [7] Randstad stated that, after hearing concerns about how information was presented to participants and obtaining consent, the project was temporarily suspended and project leaders were retrained. [8] After the Daily News published its report, Google said it had shut down its field research and was investigating the allegations. [9]
