One federal agency has enlisted the help of a recruiting and RPO company for its hiring needs.
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently announced that it has hired Futurestep to provide strategic talent acquisition solutions to help the agency address its continuing talent needs. The partnership, which comes from a General Services Administration contract awarded in 2009, includes a one-year contract with three additional renewable years and the option for a fifth year.
Futurestep will provide the SEC with recruitment and strategic services, with a focus on the implementation of best-practice talent acquisition processes and expert support related to workforce planning, employment branding and talent technology strategy.
The main goals of this effort are to expand and support the SEC’s capability to identify, attract and retain talent in areas such as accounting, law, management, IT, industry specialists and financial professionals.
The company will provide recruitment, project management and consulting services, as well as an on-site team structured to change based on the SEC’s talent needs. The program will support the agency’s growth and transformational strategy.
“We understand the importance of talent in driving the success of the SEC,” Robert McNabb, executive vice president for Korn/Ferry International and CEO of Futurestep, said. “Futurestep has provided essential support in helping the Commission secure critical talent in the past.
“We look forward to continuing that relationship, leveraging our strategic solutions to help the agency enhance its ability to compete for the vital talent it needs, both today and in the future,” he added.
