Description

Executive Recruiting Services Workforce Management and Consulting Department of Veterans Affairs Request for Information/Sources Sought February 25th, 2015 I. Introduction: This is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is currently conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced and interested potential sources. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be incurred by interested parties in responding to this sources sought announcement. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is seeking interested sources (contractors) for a near-future solicitation. At this time, no solicitation exists. Therefore, DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION. II. Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Workforce Management and Consulting (WMC) is evaluating the market to determine if there are commercial vendors with the capacity to assist VHA with the placement of experienced executives for the Administration. The vendors would have the ability to recruit seasoned executives with extensive backgrounds as health care providers or health care management experience. VA maintains and operates the largest integrated health care system in America. The VA health care system has grown from 54 hospitals in 1930 to 151 hospitals today; more than 700 community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs); 288 Vet Centers; 98 Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation Programs; and 133 Community Living centers. VA health care facilities provide a broad spectrum of medical, surgical and rehabilitative care. VHA's workforce consists of nearly 300,000 medical professionals and support staff, dedicated to providing service to Veterans and their families. We must attract the best executive talent and promote VHA as an employer of choice. Employees within VHA are dedicated to ensuring that the men and women who served our country receive the services and are treated with the respect and dignity that they deserve. To support this mission, VHA is committed to the investment and development of human capital, to include the executives who lead the delivery of care. VHA is experiencing high turnover in its executive ranks as experienced leaders, both hospital-based and headquarters-based, become eligible to retire. Executive positions include those at the Administration's highest policy-making levels and impact the future direction of health care across the United States. Position locations range from large metropolises to small rural areas around the country. Timely filling of key vacancies with qualified leaders is more critical than ever. Consequently, to recruit and retain key executives, VHA is seeking support in sourcing, recruitment, and placement of candidates for the most difficult-to-fill leadership positions. III. Requirements: VA is seeking a contractor who can provide the following services: 1.Evaluate the full scope of the required goals to ensure a successful candidate match and hiring experience. 2.Collaborate with agency to develop specific and detailed candidate profiles to ensure ideal individuals are identified. 3.Develop and implement recruitment and marketing strategies to attract viable candidates. 4.Coach and mentor the candidates through the hiring process for successful placement. IV. Submittal Information: Responses will assist in determining the acquisition strategy used for this procurement. For example, if enough responsible and capable -Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) respond, the acquisition strategy will most likely be a SDVOSB set-aside; therefore, interested vendors who are responsible and capable of performing the work are strongly encouraged to respond by the date specified. At this time no acquisition strategy has been decided.
