What is strategic hiring?

Strategic hiring, looks, is not just going shopping for the government. It's like playing chess with the public budget: you have to think about several plays forward and not just see who has the cheapest offer. The idea is to squeeze the maximum juice to each weight, seeking not only to save, but also add real value to the public administration. Nothing to spend.

And be careful, this is not just for an office to work well. Each purchase decision in the public sector can echo throughout society, the economy, to the environment! Therefore, when it is time to decide who to buy what, one has to look at everything: how much it really costs to have that product or service (because sometimes it is cheap, it is expensive), until the supplier has a spark to innovate, if it can adapt when the rules of the game change, or if their work leaves a positive (or negative) mark in the community.

The process, the net, is nothing improvised. It goes from seeing what is needed, putting clearly what is needed, choosing suppliers well, handling the contract (which is not just signing and already), and then checking that everything is being fulfilled. If there is no planning and monitoring, this is very fast.

A point that cannot be skipped is public tender. Basically, it is the way to make suppliers compete, to choose the best according to clear and fair criteria. Giving contracts "by finger" is super mates and rightly: public tender helps everything be transparent, even and efficient. And of course, that makes people trust a little more in those who handle public money (although sometimes it costs work).

Now, if you are a company and want to enter tenders, you better soak up how strategic hiring works. You have to know the criteria with which they will qualify you: if you give value for money, if you have what is needed, if your proposal will help socially and not damage the environment, all that counts. And, of course, you have to understand the procedures and laws that apply, because if you skip a step, bye with your offer.

Apart, it is not enough to say "I can", you have to prove it. Sometimes public organizations need something other than usual, so if your company can propose new ideas, adapt to what the client asks, and work together to get the best result, you have a lot in your favor.

In short, strategic hiring is like the superpower of the public sector so as not to waste resources and generate good things. If your company wants to earn tenders, it is not enough to offer cheap: you have to understand all this roll, apply it, and show that you are the best ally for the government. If not, better or mess.
