July 25 (Reuters) - Randstad RAND.AS , the world's
biggest staffing firm, on Tuesday beat expectations for second
quarter core earnings, despite a difficult macroeconomic
environment.
Its underlying earnings before interest, tax and
amortisation (EBITA) were 271 million euros ($300.05 million) in
the three months to the end of June, against 260 million
expected by analysts in a company-provided poll.
($1 = 0.9032 euros)
