Today sees the official launch of AMS OnDemand, a new service for
mid-market companies. Using the expertise and processes honed
through 12 years of global RPO delivery and our unique
infrastructure, AMS has developed and
combined a core set of best practice RPO services to benefit
mid-market organisations for whom RPO had not previously been a
viable option.
Businesses will be able to quickly tap into the benefits of a
FTSE RPO function and maximise the effectiveness of sourcing
channels without the need for large volumes of hires or significant
up front investment. The AMS OnDemand service will be
delivered through a scalable, standard technology platform, which
can provide customers with best practice permanent recruitment
services that support both internal mobility and external hiring
throughout the entire recruitment lifecycle.
GeoServices, a leading upstream oilfield services business, is
already realising the benefits of deploying AMS' OnDemand solution
to focus on the hiring of around 200 Technicians a year.
Commenting on the programme, Franck Thibault, HR Development
Director says he is delighted with both the results and the
relationship. “Not only has working with the OnDemand team been
completely transparent and open, they have simplified the
recruitment process for us so that it is easy for our hiring
managers to undertake their recruitment whilst significantly
reducing cost.”
AMS OnDemand has been developed to benefit mid-sized
organisations or specific divisions or geographies of larger
organisations with annual recruitment volumes between 50 and 500
hires per year. It will allow organisations to effectively scale
recruitment activity to facilitate rapid headcount growth, or to
enable a reduction in reliance on preferred supplier lists or a
master vendor. Importantly, AMS OnDemand is client branded,
ensuring the organisation’s identity and culture is mirrored,
helping to increase penetration of the organisation’s brand into
the candidate marketplace.
