Frequently Asked Questions

The best way to contact us is via the dedicated mailbox PSRPermReqs@WeAreAms.com, we will be in touch within 24 hours

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 PSRPermApplications@WeAreAms.com and we will be back in touch with you

Yes. The Permanent Recruitment Solution will provide each customer with the best route to market, which includes ‘award without completion’ to suppliers.

The Permanent Recruitment Solution was designed to support customers through Attraction and Sourcing. If you would like Interview and Offer Management, this is a supplementary module and can be discussed with the team, PSRPermApplications@WeAreAms.com

We can be flexible should you wish and are able to give PSR access to your ATS. This is the ideal scenario; however, we are sensitive to department compliance regulations. Access is not essential for PSR to deliver the Permanent Recruitment Service.
