1. ProvatoHR Services Overview Value-based recruiting strategies for growth-oriented federal contractors. Typical Recruiting Dilemmas Faced by Federal Contractors Limited Ability to Respond to B&P Efforts “We had less than a week to find 25 candidates, with signed contingent offers, in order to respond to a proposal. I don’t have the time or resources to find that many candidates, so we usually pass on the larger opportunities.” Unpredictable & Time-Sensitive Task Orders “Task orders usually come out with very little notice. If we can’t produce good candidates quickly, we will miss out on the business.” Unfilled Jobs Equals Lost Revenue “If I can’t fill the position by the deadline, they’re going to give it to someone else. Not only do I lose the revenue, but they may not call me the next time.” Competing for Quality People “We do our best to offer competitive salaries and benefits, but we don’t have the name recognition like the big companies. It’s even harder as a subcontractor, because the rates can make it hard to compete on salaries.” Limited Internal Resources “It gets hard to justify committing to the salaries, resume search resources, and tools of an internal recruiting department, especially when past results have been inconsistent.” Placement Fees Absorb Margins “By the time we pay a 20% placement fee to a staffing agency , there’s no margin left, but, if we don’t fill the job, we won’t get the next one. We’ve tried the temp-to-perm model, but we still pay the fee, plus the best candidates want a permanent job.” Someone had to come up with a better idea… So we did. The business of federal contracting revolves around recruiting, but the challenges of recruiting effectively are daunting in such a highly-competitive, cost-sensitive business. You need key personnel for your proposals, but have little time to find them. You have funded slots that have to be filled or your competition will. You need to convince the best talent to accept your offer, instead of tempting offers from the giants. You can only afford so many internal resources, but how do you know if they will produce results, and when do you add them? Did we mention human resources compliance like OFCCP and AAP?

6. Industry-specific specialty sitesA centralized Recruiting Operations Center (“The ROC”) to ensure speed and cost-effectiveness. “The ROC” is a U.S.-based centralized recruiting operations center, developed to deliver a more cost-effective and efficient means of conducing the labor-intensive functions of the recruiting process, such as sourcing, initial screening, and contacting hard-to-reach candidates outside of normal business hours. Rather than outsource these functions to an overseas operation, who should not be participating in searches for candidates with security clearances, ProvatoHR utilizes U.S. citizens, and makes special provisions for veterans returning from deployment in service of our country.

The first one alone – {contract name withheld} – required over 30 skilled candidates and your team came through for us with a short turnaround. Then {contract name withheld} hit before the other was complete and you really had your hands full. Again, many thanks for your tremendous support.” Maja Roberts, Technical and Project Engineering, LLC
12. Proactive business development efforts.90% of our positions require security-cleared professionals. We understand the nuances and care necessary to recruit candidates with security clearances and we build our clients’ presence in their subgroup of the cleared community. We represent you to candidates. We recruit for your company, so we use your company name and email address to reach out to candidates. Candidate response is much lower when the are contacted by a staffing agency. Confidentiality and integrity are the cornerstones of our business. ProvatoHR’s success depends on the long-term, consistent success of our clients. In order to maintain long-term relationships with our clients, it is essential for us to demonstrate integrity and value in everything we do. When those times come where two clients are competing against each other, we take great lengths to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the information we hold.
