IT services firm Atos has extended for five years its UK & Ireland recruitment partnership with resourcing and talent management firm Alexander Mann Solutions (AMS).

The deal sees AMS supplying permanent and contingent staff and a growing number of graduates to the company, as well as delivering outplacement services for employees.

Following Atos’ acquisition of technology firm Siemens Information Systems last summer, it decided to review its previous contract with AMS as Siemens also used it as a workforce supplier.

Atos senior vice-president for HR in the UK and Ireland Kevin Wilkinson says: “The decision to re-sign with AMS and build on our existing partnership was relatively straightforward.”
