Request for Tenders for the provision of recruitment and associated marketing services to the Irish Defence Forces

Description

The requirement is for RPO providers to increase Naval Service recruitment through the provision of marketing, engagement and recruitment support. The Defence Forces is, therefore, seeking proposals from experienced and qualified RPO providers to support recruitment, engagement, and marketing activities and to achieve the Naval Service Recruitment targets for the duration of the agreed contract. The selected provider will be required to use a variety of best-practice recruitment and selection tools to source and recruit and to play a crucial role in enhancing the Naval Service’s recruitment efforts and ensure timely acquisition of the right personnel. The Irish Defence Forces comprise the Army, the Air Corps, and the Naval Service. The Naval Service is responsible for safeguarding Ireland’s maritime interests and supporting national defence and security objectives. Recruitment is a critical component of maintaining the operational effectiveness and readiness of the Naval Service, and the Naval Service requires a steady influx of talented individuals to join its ranks and fulfil roles across a range of appointments. To improve the recruitment process, the Irish Naval Service will leverage Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and partner with a suitably qualified provider who will collaboratively provide elements of the recruitment and marketing processes. This will allow the Naval Service to focus its internal resources on core operational activities.
