1.0 SCOPE: To enhance the recruitment capabilities of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) Fleet Human Resource Offices (FLTHRO) with a focus on veterans, military spouses, and highly qualified, skilled applicants, individualized account access to an electronic recruitment (eRecruitment) platform is essential. This platform will enable FLTHRO personnel to effectively utilize 40 job announcement slots each month for attracting veteran and military spouse candidates and highly qualified U.S. citizens seeking employment within their serviced commands. FLTHRO personnel will have the ability to rotate job postings in and out of the 40 assigned slots throughout each month, ensuring that veteran-friendly positions and roles suited for highly qualified applicants are prominently featured.

1.1 The platform will house a resume repository that retains the resumes of veteran and military spouse candidates and highly qualified applicants who apply for positions indefinitely. This allows for expedited and easy access to a diverse pool of talent for direct hiring as needs arise. At least six FLTHRO recruiters will have robust access to search all available candidate resumes, with specific filters to prioritize veteran and military spouse applicants and highly qualified candidates. This ensures efficient identification of individuals who meet the desired qualifications and experiences. A minimum of eight FLTHRO administrators will be empowered to post and manage job announcements, specifically promoting positions that cater to veterans, military spouses, and highly qualified applicants. They will also have access to analytics and reports that track recruitment metrics for both groups.

Recruiters and administrators will receive real-time notifications regarding the status of applications from veterans, military spouses, and highly qualified applicants, enabling proactive management of recruitment efforts.
