1 May 2019 - Chief technology officer Andrew Wayland was featured in this article published by SIA.

As Walmart increases its reliance on robots to free up resources, Alexander Mann Solutions has suggested that - contrary to the popular rhetoric that robots are replacing people in the workplace - human employees are actually being enhanced by technology.

According to the firm, this ‘cyborg effect’ – where both organic and biomechatronic elements combine – is facilitating the creation of human employees who can operate at maximum efficiency. However, the organisation warns that robots should not be viewed as stand-alone employees...

Supporting talent demands across the DACH region

12 March 2019 — Global talent acquisition firm, Alexander Mann Solutions, has opened an office in Berlin to support its growing DACH client base. This news follows an extensive uptick in demand for its services across the region, with its team placing nearly 2,000 hires across DACH last year alone, with 400 of these made within the increasingly challenging IT, Technology and Engineering fields.
This latest office opening comes at a time of ambitious growth plans for the company, as Maxine Pillinger, Director of RPO Solutions at Alexander Mann Solutions, explains:

“This year is set to be one of incredible growth and expansion for Alexander Mann Solutions. As we continue to deliver our award-winning service to employers across the globe, we are investing to ensure our talent solutions continue to deliver excellent quality and reach. With our latest research revealing that talent acquisition across the DACH region will become increasingly challenging in the coming months, having a base in Berlin to support employers locally and further afield made complete sense.”

“According to our report, Talent Sourcing at the heart of Europe, businesses across DACH are reaching a critical point where the gap between the supply and demand of talent is becoming a growing concern. As more firms look to evolve their hiring processes in order to attract the resources they need in the year ahead, partnering with a global expert like Alexander Mann Solutions will become increasingly business-critical.”

12 March 2019 — Businesses across the DACH region are reaching a critical point where the gap between the supply and demand of talent is becoming a growing concern. That’s according to research from Alexander Mann Solutions which included in-depth interviews with major employers in the region such as Arla Foods, Lufthansa and Merck, as well as an analysis from Berlin-based business school ESMT.

The global talent acquisition and management firm found that this scarcity of talent is particularly prevalent in the IT and digital fields. This could potentially damage the region’s tech innovations as Marcel Kalis of the careers department at ESMT business school suggests: “Berlin is an international hothouse for digital but there aren’t anywhere near enough people with the right skills to fuel it all.”

The report, Talent Sourcing at the heart of Europe, revealed numerous challenges to talent attraction across the region, with the growth in popularity of Mittelstand companies – highly successful firms run by ‘owner-entrepreneurial families’ that focus on longevity – limiting the active candidate pool.

As Tobias Bartholomē, Head of Recruiting and Sourcing at Lufthansa Group, explains: “German companies seem to be better than many others at creating a family feeling in their cultures and engender a climate of loyalty where individuals can feel guilt-ridden if they leave. Consequently, people are often looking for a reason not to move.”

In order to attract talent in this environment, employers across the region need to rethink their hiring processes, as Maxine Pillinger, Director of RPO Solutions at Alexander Mann Solutions, explains:

“Many German companies still follow very ‘traditional’ application processes which can often be time-consuming and bureaucratic. Any organisation that is willing to eschew this approach in favour of something more modern and engaging has the opportunity to seize good candidates well before competitors are able to make any sort of meaningful offer.

Given the scarcity of available talent – with the unemployment level in Germany standing at just 3.3% - businesses must also take a more flexible approach to job specifications and seek a greater balance of skills and capabilities rather than a focus on every tick-box being filled. With talent acquisition set to become more complex and competitive in the coming months, we’ve opened a new office in Berlin to better support our growing DACH client base.”

20 February 2019 -Mexico City, Warsaw and Beijing are the top three locations globally for businesses to establish a Shared Service Centre (SSC). That is according to the latest research from international talent acquisition and management consultancy, Alexander Mann Solutions: Global Shared Service Centre Locations: A Comparative Analysis. Over 75,000 SSCs are expected to be established globally by 2022, representing a 30% increase since 2015, as firms seek to increase global reach and reduce costs.

Following a comprehensive comparative analysis of SSC locations globally, Beijing, China ranked highly thanks to its highly developed infrastructure, large digital workforce and strong talent pipelines. Warsaw, Poland, scored highly for its good infrastructure and business environment. Mexico City, Mexico, meanwhile, was favoured for its proximity to two of the largest western economies – the USA and Canada.

The white paper adopts a broad definition of the SSC sector to include general functions such as IT services, business support, accounting & finance and contact centres. The results are based on a statistical analysis, which considers factors including: talent supply; cost; ease of doing business; and infrastructure. In addition, the rankings take into account a trend analysis which identifies the adaptability, capability and vulnerability of each region.

Commenting on the findings, Laurie Padua, Managing Director, Advisory, notes:

“It’s clear from the analysis in this report that the biggest influencer in shared service centre location strategies is still the ability to deliver services effectively at a more reasonable cost in the destination. However, as the various cities outlined in this research have their own competitive advantages, the best destination will ultimately depend on the wider organisational objectives, and to some extent, risk appetite of firms building their own shared services locations.

“Looking forward, intelligent automation and RPA look set to be the biggest game-changers in the SSC sector, as technology enables businesses to streamline processes and operations. In fact, 23% of all recorded global intelligent automation occurred within the shared service industry. As the market shifts towards greater adoption of new technologies, only those cities with the digital talent and technical capabilities required to thrive in this new landscape will retain their title of leading SSC hub.”

“We are delighted to have Marisa back on board and I have no doubt that her extensive experience in this area will be a huge asset to Alexander Mann Solutions as the brand continues to grow internationally.
