Randstad have announced the death of its founder, Frits Goldschmeding. The company described Frits as a pioneer in the staffing industry and a leader whose innovative spirit and unwavering commitment left an indelible mark on countless lives.
Founding Randstad in 1960 Glodschmeding believed in the power of meaningful employment and the potential of every individual. From a small operation in the Netherlands, he grew Randstad into one of the world’s leading HR services organisations which now advises thousands of clients on their talent needs and helps millions find fulfilling careers.
His legacy is evident in the core values that continue to drive Randstad today: to know, serve, and trust, striving for perfection, and the simultaneous promotion of all interests. These principles have fostered the culture of excellence, innovation, and empathy within the business, and influenced the way the company operates around the globe.
Frits was also a champion of education, philanthropy, and social responsibility. As Randstad suggest, his work has inspired generations of leaders and will continue to do so.
