The solution
AMS developed a Resources on Demand programme in partnership with the client that could scale quickly. In order to support the nationwide technology roles hiring project, a team with expertise in IT sourcing and recruitment was deployed from September 2018 including:
- A team of 12 including one Player/Coach Recruiter, five Recruiters, five Sourcers and one Administrator with deep industry experience and knowledge was embedded, with a mix of on and off-site resources providing ‘follow the sun’ time-zone coverage.
- Small groups were created to identify talent based upon functional skillsets, with Sourcers focused on engaging candidates, freeing up Recruiters to deepen relationships with Hiring Managers through a consultative approach.
- AMS’s Player/Coach effectively partnered with the client’s in-house Talent Acquisition Lead for work allocation, tracking, daily performance management, coaching and training.
