We’ve been awarded a major contract by a County Durham manufacturer.

Resource Management Solutions is now the exclusive recruitment and payroll partner of Peterlee-based AKS – the UK arm of the global manufacturer of precision steel balls.

The agency will partner with AKS for the next three years and will recruit for roles throughout the business such as production operatives, quality technicians and engineers, as well as carrying out payroll.

RMS HR operations director Nicky Tooke, said: “With 21 years’ experience of working with manufacturers within the automotive industry, we have the knowledge and understanding to be an effective on-site partner. We are delighted AKS recognise the brilliant, reliable service we provide. We’ve formed a fantastic partnership with them over the last six months and I am confident we will continue to have a long and successful partnership.

“We will fulfil payroll and project services, and supply agency workers, permanent and fixed term contract staff. Our consultants get an in-depth understanding of a client’s business and culture before working hard to find top talent and a good fit at the company.”

A spokesman for AKS said: “We need a trusted partner that can service our demands. We have used RMS on an ad hoc basis and have been really pleased with their approach, knowledge of our sector and the candidates they have found for us. We had no hesitation in appointing them on a more formal, retained basis.”
