HRO Today – RPO Baker’s Dozen 2011
I’m delighted that Alexander Mann Solutions has once again featured in the HRO Today’s annual Baker’s Dozen report. This year’s results are absolutely outstanding, with Alexander Mann Solutions recognised as the overall market leader in RPO, the global market leader, and the leader in quality of service, as well as ranking highly in breadth of services and size of solutions.
The Baker’s Dozen is an excellent waypoint for the recruitment and talent industry. It really helps to clarify what’s happening in the RPO market and to identify the big issues facing recruitment consumers. The relative rankings are gathered entirely from customer feedback, so we know that this is a genuine and unbiased comparison across the market.
But what I find most exciting in every Baker’s Dozen report is seeing the evolution of customer requirements, and how suppliers have moved and changed in line with the market. The resourcing and talent landscape in constant motion as organisations meet new challenges and take on new opportunities, which of course manifest as talent and resourcing challenges and opportunities.
We work incredibly hard to ensure that the services we deliver meet our customers’ needs, regardless of their industry sector, location in the world, or hiring requirements. And I feel that what we do particularly well at Alexander Mann Solutions is listening to the market, applying our experience and expertise, and delivering the right solution. We actively listen to our clients, we work closely with them as strategic partners, and we respond to the resourcing and talent challenges that they face.
Ultimately, this is the approach we took fifteen years ago when AMS was created. Our recruitment clients were looking for a new and more effective way of staffing their organisations, and we designed a new recruitment solution that hadn’t existed before by outsourcing the internal recruitment function – now known, of course, as RPO.
Since then, we have never stopped innovating, delivering systems and services that benefit our clients – helping drive their businesses forward.
This is borne out by the 2011 Baker’s Dozen rankings, where Alexander Mann Solutions was ranked highly in all of the major categories – second in breadth of services and size of deal; and first in quality of service, multi country programmes, and as overall leader in the RPO industry.
I’d like to thank all of the clients that take the time to participate in the Baker’s Dozen, and congratulate the wide AMS community for their ongoing hard work.
