Our client, a government-focused technology and solutions company, was awarded a 10-year, $2 billion contract from the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to lead a sweeping IT transformation. The initiative aimed to consolidate services, standardize processes, and drive cost efficiencies across the agency’s operations.

CHALLENGE:

To execute the DHA’s long-term transformation, the client needed to rapidly scale recruiting and onboarding operations while meeting complex requirements. These included managing remote worksite logistics, adhering to strict small business spend obligations, and ensuring full compliance with the Service Contract Act (SCA). All of this needed to be done without sacrificing speed or the quality of talent.

SOLUTION:

GDH developed a customized recruitment and onboarding strategy to accelerate delivery while maintaining compliance. We began with an in-depth review of the client’s recruitment process to identify inefficiencies and areas for optimization. By pre-vetting candidates using hiring managers’ exact screening criteria, we streamlined interviews and reduced time to hire.

GDH worked closely with the client’s security officer to oversee the onboarding process, ensuring all government background checks and clearance requirements were met without delays. To meet small business spend obligations without slowing operations, GDH partnered with a trusted small business ally, integrating our workflows to maintain efficiency while fulfilling contractual requirements.

RESULT:

The client met all contractual small business spending obligations while accelerating recruitment timelines. Pre-vetted candidates led to more efficient hiring decisions, while GDH’s hands-on onboarding support ensured a seamless transition for new hires. 

The partnership not only maintained compliance but also strengthened operational effectiveness, enabling the client to meet mission objectives without compromise.
