Leading international IT services provider selects AMS to provide
recruitment support to both permanent and contingent staffing
Alexander Mann Solutions (AMS), a leading global provider of
recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), has secured a five year
extension of its contract to provide permanent, graduate and
contingent workforce solutions to Atos Origin, a leading
international IT services provider.
AMS has worked with Atos Origin for four years, and the
extension is a result of the strong service delivered over the
length of the initial contract. During this time, AMS worked with
Atos Origin to identify and address the challenges the business
faced in managing its contingent workforce across the UK. By using
its own Global Client Services Centres in Bracknell, UK and Krakow,
Poland, AMS was able to provide a single point of contact for the
end to end hiring process from requisition management, candidate
sourcing for permanent, contingent and graduate recruitment. This
has helped to improve efficiencies and processes, resulting in
significant cost savings for the business over the life of the
contract.
“We are delighted to announce the continuation of our
partnership with Alexander Mann Solutions in recruiting and
managing areas of our workforce. Over the last four years we have
seen a notable increase in the efficiency of our staffing
requirements in the contingent workforce and on this basis we
looked to AMS to help us improve and enhance the hiring experience
for the managers and the candidates in the permanent and graduate
arena. In addition we were looking for a flexible and responsive
service to enable Atos Origin to be more proactive in a very
changing business environment,“ said Andrew Hart, Head of
Recruitment and Talent Acquisition of Atos Origin.
Over the course of the new contract, AMS will be implementing
new technological enhancements to Atos Origin’s recruitment process
to enable increased efficiency and deliver more accurate results
for management reporting. All of which will aid the Atos Origin
recruitment decision making process and ensure they select only the
most suitable candidates. One such technology that will be
implemented in forthcoming months is Skillstream, an easy to use
contingent workforce management system that tracks, monitors and
reports on the progress of each candidate throughout the entire
hiring cycle, as well as monitoring the overall cost-per-hire of
each temporary member of staff.
Vanessa Byrnes, Director at Alexander Mann Solutions at
Alexander Mann Solutions concludes, “The expansion of our
relationship with Atos Origin into other business areas is a
demonstration of the two companies working together over the past
four years and jointly looking to future when scoping and designing
the new services. AMS and Atos Origin have committed to an ongoing
review of the services to ensure we challenge the status quo and
continuously make improvements to enhance efficiencies and maximise
cost savings.”
