PROJECT 38: COVID's permanent impact on GovCon and human capital
Government contracting is a people business even as technology and connectivity loom large. In this episode of Project 38, senior staff writer Ross Wilkers talks with Jon Barney of Odgers Berndson, and Sam Dinte of Dinte Executive Search about permanent changes COVID has brought to how GovCon firms recruit and develop their workforce.
We are always told that government contracting is a people business at its core even as technology and connectivity loom large. In this episode of Project 38, we hear from the GovCon market’s leading human capital specialists on how COVID-19 has wrought permanent changes to the way companies recruit and develop their work force.
Jon Barney and Sam Dinte, respectively of Odgers Berndston and Dinte Executive Search, work with contractors on building their leadership teams and help shape their overall human resources strategies. Their first-person anecdotes shared here illustrate both how companies had to shift and are thinking through the long-term implications.
They see the human factor as continuing to be at the core of how GovCon companies operate, but certainly the underlying mechanics will look very different going forward.
