We have over 30 years of experience in permanent recruitment with a strong focus in Technology, Digital, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Life Sciences and many more.

Our suppliers are aligned to distribution lists for the roles that they can provide service for. The customer can specify which supplier they wish to work with from the Supply Chain (award without further competition) or opt for a mini-competition in line with their departmental governance, whereby AMS will select all suppliers with the relevant experience and service disciplines to enter. The customer will gain sight of the bids and agree on the winning supplier.

If this is the first time you are raising a role with us, pop an email to PSRPermReqs@WeAreAms.com and we will be back in touch with you
