Executive Recruitment Vacancies with Attention in the Mental Health Field (Psychologist and Psychiatry) Department of Veterans Affairs Request for Information October 26th, 2012 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 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA), and Workforce Management and Consulting Office (WMC) are seeking the necessary Human Resource services to recruit those "hard to fill" executive level positions throughout VHA with an additional focus or highlight on the Mental (Behavioral) Health Field, and in particular, Psychiatry and Psychology services. III. Requirements: VA is seeking a contractor who can provide the following services: 1.Vendor(s) shall review key documents concerning the roles of WMC as they relate to recruitment requirements and knowledge of the Senior Executive Service (SES) or other Executive Recruitment application processes. 2.Vendor(s) shall collaborate with WMC to develop a Marketing Plan to include, but not be limited to timelines, goals, priorities and expectations for each recruitment requisition, and with a focus or priority in the psychology and psychiatric fields. The vendor shall work with WMC to develop specific and detailed candidate profiles for each position including any specialized technical qualifications required and must adhere to all federal laws, regulations, and VHA policies. 3.Vendor(s) shall develop and implement recruitment strategies, and marketing materials for each of the positions. The cost per each individual hire shall be inclusive of marketing and recruitment strategies. The plan shall be approved by the VHA Project Manager. 4.Vendor(s) shall implement the approved Marketing Plan within three (3) business days of approval and begin identifying, contacting and referring potential candidates. For SES positions candidates shall be provided an overview of the Federal executive hiring process and given the USAJobs job posting link to apply for the position. For clinical executives eligible for employment under VHA Title 38 direct hire authorities, the recruiter shall identify qualified candidates based on the candidate profile and VHA Qualification Standards; and verify clinical licenses. 5.Vendor(s) shall provide a consolidated list of candidates referred on a weekly basis throughout the period of performance of one (1) year. Candidates shall be referred until a competitive job posting closes or until a Title 38 direct hire candidate is selected. 6.Vendor(s) shall not conduct interviews or background checks, as this will be part of VHA's hiring process. In addition, Vendor(s) shall not be in a position of decision making to hire candidates and shall only make recommendations to WMC staff. 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.
