PRESS RELEASE: 55/Redefined Names AMS as Exclusive Global Talent Partner

55/Redefined, the global platform dedicated to redefining opportunities for over-50s in the workforce, is pleased to announce that AMS, the global talent acquisition and consulting organisation, has been appointed as its exclusive global Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner. This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone in 55/Redefined’s mission to drive multi-generational workforce inclusion across permanent and contingent hiring.

With five generations actively contributing to the workforce and 53% of unemployed people in the EU between 55 and 64 years old being out of work for over a year , organisations must adapt their talent attraction strategies to ensure inclusivity across all age groups. AMS brings unparalleled expertise in workforce transformation and will support 55/Redefined in scaling its impact across multiple industries and markets, including the UK, Europe, and the fast-growing US market.

Hiring in excess of 270,000 people a year, AMS has extensive experience advising businesses on creating inclusive hiring strategies that enable sustainable, long-term workforce planning. Through this exclusive partnership, AMS and 55/Redefined will work together to embed age-inclusive hiring practices across industries and help organisations attract, retain, and engage talent at every career stage.

Lyndsey Simpson, Founder and CEO of 55/Redefined, said:
“The workforce is evolving rapidly, and businesses that embrace age inclusivity will unlock greater productivity, innovation, and engagement. AMS is the ideal partner to help scale our mission globally, ensuring businesses have the tools and expertise needed to build truly multi-generational teams. By addressing the structural barriers that prevent over-50s from progressing in the workplace, we are making real, tangible change. This exclusive partnership will ensure that our clients benefit from AMS’s world-class recruitment solutions, helping them create sustainable workforce strategies fit for the future.”

Sharon Bagshaw; AMS Chief Client Officer, APAC, EMEA & UK&I added:
“AMS is committed to reshaping the workforce by helping organisations build diverse and inclusive talent pipelines. As the exclusive RPO partner for 55/Redefined, we are excited to bring our global expertise across the talent spectrum to drive meaningful impact for businesses looking to future-proof their workforce. The need for a truly inclusive hiring strategy has never been greater, and this partnership represents a critical step in ensuring that talent of all ages is recognised and valued.”

This significant partnership will address head on the unconscious bias that can exist when it comes to hiring from the over 50’s population. AMS acts on behalf of some of the world’s leading organizations, hiring in excess of 270,000 people per year, and therefore the impact we can have together on influencing talent strategies is considerable.

Age inclusion is economically as well as ethically logical. The social impact of hiring over 50’s is demonstrable in the financial, psychological and multigenerational benefits. As ageing populations continue to dominate the economic and political landscape of both Europe and the US, business leaders will need to encompass age as a cornerstone of their growth strategies to enable them to find the talent they need to deliver business success.

From reshaping hiring pipelines to embedding sustainable workforce solutions, this collaboration will drive real change at a global scale. AMS is set to transform how businesses build and sustain multi-generational teams. By applying 55/Redefined’s proven strategies to Redefined, Attract, Grow and Engage with older workforces, AMS will equip organisations with the tools, insights, and expertise needed to make age inclusivity a competitive advantage - not just an aspiration.
