About

AMSOM Habitat in a few words

AMSOM Habitat is a Public Housing Authority (OPH), with the collective authority of the Somme Housing Syndicate. AMSOM Habitat’s missions include the construction, acquisition, renovation, and management of social housing.

It was in January 2020 that AMSOM Habitat was officially created, through the merger of the Public Housing Authority in Somme with the OPAC of Amiens Métropole. This merger brought about significant changes:

Expansion of the geographical scope (the teams mainly operated within Amiens Métropole before the merger. Today, they operate throughout the entire department of Somme).
Integration of nearly 100 additional employees.
New positions to recruit for, with over a hundred positions to be filled!

This merger initiated a reflection on adapting the recruitment strategy and optimizing recruitment methods.

reduction in recruitment time

At AMSOM Habitat, our priority was on simplicity of use. Ultimately, this is what convinced us at Beetween; we were quickly impressed by the ergonomics and adaptability of this recruitment management software. The Beetween team took the time to understand our needs in order to offer us a customized version of their ATS software. Today, the software perfectly meets AMSOM Habitat’s needs in terms of digital recruitment!

Recruitment issues

Recruitment issues faced by AMSOM Habitat

A rapid growth which revealed inadequate recruitment processes

Before the merger, only one person handled recruitment. Recruitment processes were therefore quite straightforward, managed simply with Excel spreadsheets and a recruitment email inbox.

After the merger, with the increase in the workforce and growing recruitment needs, Amsom Habitat created positions for much more versatile recruiters. But the integration of these new recruiters logically disrupted the methodology. While managing candidates with a spreadsheet and an email inbox worked well with just one person, the increase in the volume of CVs and the integration of new recruiters quickly made this system too difficult to manage.

A waste of time on low value tasks

The increase in the number of applications resulted in teams spending a considerable amount of time on “administrative” tasks such as sorting and archiving CVs. Some were even lost in transit between offices! Ultimately, recruiters at Amsom Habitat felt like they were losing the essence of their profession: searching for profiles, human interaction, conducting interviews…

All these issues prompted a reflection on improving recruitment methods and optimizing Amsom Habitat’s operations. The solution quickly became apparent: adopting an ATS.
