This move is the culmination of a rebranding process in the Asia-Pacific region.

Hughes-Castell and Legal Eagles have been part of the Randstad Group (formerly Vedior) for over 10 years and as Randstad Legal they will continue to specialise in recruitment.

Karen Waldock, who has been the director of Hughes-Castell and Legal Eagles for the past nine years, will continue as director of Randstad Legal with the same team of recruitment professionals in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland and Wellington.

"Rebranding to Randstad, the world's second largest recruitment and HR services company, is a strategic move which will allow us to reinforce our market leading position in Australia and New Zealand," Waldock said.

The name change for Hughes-Castell and Legal Eagles represents almost 30 specialist recruitment and HR services businesses which have rebranded to Randstad in just over 18 months, following the global acquisition of Vedior and Randstad in July 2008.
