Background
The Challenge
The sector is very competitive and Jones Lang LaSalle recognised the importance of finding high calibre people in an efficient manner to maintain commercial advantage. Jones Lang LaSalle also found it difficult to fill all of the vacancies while focussing on delivering core HR strategic objectives.
In 2004, the business had around 60 unfilled vacancies and no people specifically dedicated to recruitment – and wanted to address this important area.
The Solution
AMS focused on combining the best people, processes and technology to work with the business’ Human Resources team. We provided an on-site recruitment team dedicated to Jones Lang LaSalle. The team was selected for its skills, experience, and business / cultural fit. They were tasked with managing IT recruitment software integrated with Jones Lang Lasalle’s website and personnel database; to manage recruitment effectively; and to produce management reporting. The team also provides interview support.
Additional services include access to AMS’s in-house recruitment communications department.
The Results
- Vacancies filled in shorter timescales
- 98 offers in six search assignments in the first two quarters
- Enhanced recruitment tracking
- Improved candidate control, interviewing and management reporting
- More time available to the Human Resources team
- Increased direct applications
- Ongoing cost savings
Jones Lang LaSalle also commissioned AMS to research the Jones Lang LaSalle employer brand. This research has fuelled the redevelopment of Jones Lang LaSalle’s employer proposition.
AMS also supports Jones Lang LaSalle recruitment across other countries including Hong Kong and Dubai.
