When an ABS client company determines that it will need a
contractor or temporary professional, it issues a staffing request
against the contract it had previously negotiated with ABS. The
contract manager in ABS reviews the staff request and ensures that
the request is valid with its current contract with its client from the
database.
If the request is not valid, the contract manager sends the
staffing request back to the client and explains the reasons and
asks for the need for starting a new contract.
If the request is valid, the contract manager will start recruiting
requests by putting the request into its staffing database. The
staffing request is then sent to ABS placement department.
In the placement department, the placement specialists will check the
job requirements and candidates qualifications.
If there is a qualified candidate, the specialist will notify the
candidate and put a note in the database.
If a qualified candidate cannot be found or not immediately
available, the specialist notifies contract managers and recruiting
department; the recruiting department starts search outside
immediately.
The recruiting department normally has thirty (30) days to find an
outside candidate and send the qualified candidates to the placement
department to review. If an internal qualified candidate is confirmed
with his / her availability, the confirmation will be sent to the
arrangement department. In the arrangement department, the
candidate works with the specialists to further confirm the placement
details, such as starting date, location, compensation (e.g., per diem),
and travel arrangement. The final confirmation will be sent to the
client along with a billing schedule. If the client agrees with the
arrangement, he/she acknowledges the arrangement with contract
managers in the contract department. The contract manager then puts
a memo into its database and closes the request.
