Information Technology, Media and Telecommunications

Having survived the ravages of the global financial crisis relatively unscathed, technology providers now look to capitalise on re-growth and expand in an open and buoyant market. However, the technology sector continues to undergo constant evolution which means that more than ever employers are fighting a near-constant battle for qualified talent.
David Heath, Client Service Director, IT and Telecommunications

Issues

One of the biggest issues facing any technology or telecommunications provider is finding and retaining the right talent. With constant development in technologies, and a market where multiple organisations are competing both directly and indirectly for limited numbers of candidates, technology and telecommunications organisations face major issues in finding qualified candidates. The pace of change within the sector and offices based in low-cost locations makes forward planning profoundly difficult and puts further pressure on talent pools. Diversity also remains a critical issue, and the costs of finding – and recruiting – high performers in key roles can be astronomical.

Credentials

AMS works with a number of large technology, IT and telecommunications organisations worldwide. Our core clients include leading mobile and ITT providers, leading software providers, manufacturers of computer hardware, and large IT outsourcing firms. Our most comprehensive solution to date involved driving recruitment for one of the world’s foremost IT and IT services providers, delivering services to over 20 countries around the world.

We’ve recruited extensively in the technology sector, and have a strong heritage in resourcing in this competitive market – in fact, our very first outsourced solution was delivering staff to a technology provider.

Solutions

Technology and telecommunications clients often provide outsourced services themselves, and recognise the real strengths that an outsourced solution can bring. Our delivery teams bring expertise in sourcing local candidates, building candidate databases that can be used to fill roles on short notice, work closely with clients to map and predict their business needs ahead of recruitment campaigns, and help enable internal mobility, identifying in-house talent. Many of our clients also utilise AMS’s in-house consultancy teams to provide expert advice on recruiting executive, sales and technical staff, running recruitment advertising and attraction campaigns, assessing and selecting candidates for suitability, and running graduate programmes.
