Total Workforce Acquisition: Bringing it all together
More and more often, clients look to outsource the entirety of their resourcing and talent functions to AMS having first engaged us for a particular project, region or business unit.

Clients choose to do this in a number of ways. For instance, they might engage us as an RPO provider to manage permanent and graduate recruitment, an executive search firm to manage senior hiring, a managed services provider to handle the contingent workforce, and other agencies to handle ad-hoc staffing.
But ensuring that all parties are fully aligned, working in unison, and actively managing the employer brand effectively can be particularly challenging. Providers negotiate different terms of service, operate differently, engage with disparate areas of the organisation, and work to their own agenda. Even under a master vendor agreement, where one organisation takes responsibility for managing all service providers, differences in service levels and operating models mean an inconsistent engagement and a mismatched solution.
With a scope of services that extends far beyond the traditional outsourcing remit, and with documented experience in delivering complex, multi-discipline solutions, Alexander Mann Solutions can provide an option that resolves the workforce acquisition dilemma. We call this Total Workforce Acquisition (TWA), and it covers every part of the resourcing and talent landscape.
Benefits of Total Workforce Acquisition
The benefits of using a single provider to manage all aspects of resourcing and talent are numerous.
Cost minimisation and process efficiencies through economies of scale. As one provider takes responsibility for all hiring processes (with a full consultation with the client’s HR community), process improvement and cost minimisation strategies can be put in place and enforced, ensuring consistency of service as well as cost reductions.
Total consistency across all elements of resourcing by sharing resources and processes across all elements of the solution. Consistency becomes the norm, rather than a target.
Clear, effective management reporting, with total oversight of the entire talent and resourcing programme. A single provider can create consistent, comparable, benchmarked reporting.
Superb strategic, rather than reactive, alignment between HR and provider.
Absolute consistency in employer branding, regardless of where candidates fit into the organisation. The employer brand is presented in a consistent manner, assisting in engagement and ultimately increasing retention.
Positive, consistent candidate experience, with fewer hand-offs during the recruitment process.
Precise, targeted quality control and continuous improvement programmes implemented across the entire solution, ensuring that gains are shared across the entire resourcing and talent function.
Holistic approach, offering total alignment and engagement across every part of the talent landscape and throughout the employee lifecycle. It involves making informed, intelligent decisions about how best to deploy available resources, how to identify potential talent, and how to ensure that the right decisions about the right staff are made at the right time.
