Monster France Employees Ask a Judge to Open Randstad’s Books

Fourteen former Monster France employees have filed a court petition in Nanterre asking a judge to appoint an independent expert to audit inter-entity money flows between Randstad and Monster ahead of the 2024 joint venture with Apollo — which ended in Monster's Chapter 11 filing and left unsecured European creditors with cents on the dollar, according to Job Board Doctor. Randstad, represented by Jones Day, secured a postponement to February 8, 2027, citing insufficient preparation time despite receiving the complaint in January 2026.
