The Problem/Opportunity
The Client had a few positions, such as Psychometrician, Industrial Psychologist, and Instructional Systems Design (ISD) Consultant with the Department of Defense based in Virginia, which were open for nearly two years. The Client faced difficulties filling these positions for several reasons, such as
- Limited pool of candidates in the IT Healthcare domain
- The roles required active clearances
- The jobs needed higher qualification levels, such as PhD and Masters in Psychology
- The positions required a mix of Test development experience in Psychology and IT, along with expertise in SPSS – a statistical analysis software from IBM.
