AEG is one of the leading
providers of live entertainment and sporting events in the world. They
own and operate some of the world’s greatest arenas and theatres as well
as a collection of companies dedicated to producing, promoting and
presenting world-class live entertainment.
In partnering with O2 they
have created the UK’s most exciting and technically advanced music,
sport and entertainment destination on the site of the old Millennium
Dome.

AEG have for some time
been preparing the O2 venue and the workforce required to execute its
launch and first music events which took place in June 2007. At the end
of 2006, AEG Europe purchased the Select HR solution to help administer
the considerable recruitment campaign and subsequent management of its
now almost 1000 staff.
Top of the bill in June
was Bon Jovi, followed by Snow Patrol. Select Software implementation
consultant, Phil Byrne, visited the venue to see Snow Patrol and gauge
the experience first hand. “It is a very impressive venue with a large
arena catering for audiences of up to 20,000 and a smaller arena for
those who appreciate their music in a more intimate environment, sports
events are also planned for later in the year”, comments Phil.

It seems they also have a bar!
With such considerable
growth already and further growth planned, AEG Europe chose to implement
the Select HR Recruit module alongside the core HR management system so
that applicants could apply online through their website.
Applicants can now apply
online for vacancies at AEG Europe, AEG Live, Thames Clippers and the
David Beckham Academy.
Applicants can search for
vacancies and complete their details online as well as upload a CV.
After submitting their application, they can also log back onto the
website to track its progress.
“I think this will be of
great benefit to AEG”, comments Phil Byrne, who has assisted with the
implementation. “It should save considerable administrative resource
and enable an efficient recruitment process”.
