Why Now?
8
Can’t Meet Mission Critical Demands
Unable to Hire, Limited /Hiring Freeze
Hiring is too slow
Can’t find qualified individuals
Veterans preference is not helpful
Clearance process takes too long
Who wants to work for the federal government?
Retirement of Baby Boomers
Those in government with less than 5 years have the highest attrition rates in agencies
We are all fighting for the same talent
Hiring Mangers don’t know what they are looking for
HR is the roadblock
Civil service policies and laws need to be changed
I can’t pay and reward top talent
No recruiting budget
We miss so many good candidates
Technology has not kept up with industry
I have outdated position descriptions
We are reactive to hiring versus proactive
Brain drain
Veterans need different skills for civilian service
Advancing Government through Collaboration, Education and Action
Conceptualization
• 200 attendees
• Started with problem and a goal – 45 days to hire and how a more agile HR could positively affect output.
• Heard a wide variety of ideas, needs, problems, and concerns from government and industry.
• Overall consensus, “we need to and can do this better.”

• Sourcing
• How can we find future candidates for federal employment?
• Recruiting
• How do we attract, market, and actively engage future candidates for federal employment?
• On boarding
• How can we most effectively prepare and develop federal candidates for employment?
• Process
• What type of new process(s) do we need to support Core areas?
• Infrastructure
• What types of systems and technologies will be required to support Core areas?
• Policy
• What types of policies/changes will be required to make the above happen?

Snapshot of topics and recommendations in Executive ReportMove towards a strategic recruiting mindset now and take proactive steps to identify the ideal candidates. Leverage technology and marketing to find them and attract them.
The Federal Talent Pool should stay active, constantly maintained and refreshed with cleared and eligible personnel; regardless of number of open requisitions.
Did someone say “Match.Gov”? How the candidate experience for federal employment can be better than some commercial companies.
Make everyone in HR talent development “specialists”.
Enhancing Veterans Preference to include program and skill development (within the Talent Pool) for all vets coming into civilian service.
Leveraging “virtual” Communities of Interest to increase collaboration and attract a more agile workforce.
Integrate talent management systems with workforce planning functions, leverage analytics to constantly improve all process areas within TaaS.
