SES, Inc. Services
1.0 Introduction
Shawnee Environmental Services, Inc. (SES, INC.) is pleased to submit a proposal to YOUR COMPANY. This proposal is to provide staff augmentation support services.
SES, Inc. is a unique organization designed to fulfill the staff augmentation needs of the federal government, commercial and nuclear industry. SES, INC. was conceptualized and organized in the year 2002. SES, INC. has developed a state-of-the-art expertise in technical internet Live-On-Line Training Program, support services and staff augmentation personnel.
SES, INC. services a diverse cross-section of the federal government including the DOE, DOD, and the commercial nuclear power industry.
SES, INC. has significant experience working in a high security and hazardous environment.
Benefits to YOUR COMPANY by selecting the SES, INC. Team
The SES, INC. is ideally suited to be your staff augmentation support contractor because:
- We offer personnel with DOE recognized expertise and certifications.
- SES, INC. can provide employee benefits that are exceptional in today’s marketplace. This will enable us to recruit and retain superior performers.
- Our companies will have the corporate muscle to reach into the business elements for access to employees, referrals, and resumes to obtain proven individuals to meet your needs.
- The team is well recognized for excellence.
2.0 Resumes of Key Personnel
The method of selecting key personnel is based on the individual’s qualifications, availability and expression of interest to support your project. SES, INC. has interviewed applicants extensively to identify the people that are willing to mobilize in a timely manner to meet the schedule. It is anticipated that the Sr. RadCon Technician category will comprise the largest skill set. Therefore, more key personnel have been selected for that category.
3.0 Identify the total number of personnel available to support staff augmentation requests
3.1 Available Operations Instructors, Radiation Protection Instructors, Procedure Writers, Radiological Engineers, Industrial Hygiene, and RP Techs/HPs/RCTs.
3.1.1 Local Candidates
SES, INC. has a Live-On-Line Internet HP course that would give future prospects from the local areas YOUR COMPANY sites.
3.1.2 Candidate Training
SES, Inc. would like to require future candidates to have the DOE Core Exam as their main qualification of theory knowledge. This would give YOUR COMPANY easier identification of the skill level of the personnel to be hired.
3.1.3 Close Proximity Candidates
It has been SES, INC.’s experience that utilizing staff augmentation employees from the local region for work at your sites reduces turnover. These people seem to adapt better to your work environment than hiring people who reside elsewhere. We feel concentrating on local region people will benefit the project by lower attrition. This will be especially apparent in the technician categories.
3.1.4 Recent Applicants
None submitted as yet.
3.1.5 Database
SES, INC. is continuing to add to its personnel database.
3.1.6 Radiological Employees
SES, INC. has technicians with extensive years of experience in commercial power plants and the DOE.
3.1.7 Jr. RadCon Techs
Bartlett Nuclear, Numanco, Marcom, and EG&G Technical Services has hired directly from our graduates of our Radiation Control Technician Training School. We get calls regularly about when the next classes are graduating.
One of the downsides to the staff augmentation concept is difficulty in retaining personnel through the completion of the project. This is a particular concern for technicians.
3.1.8 RETENTION:
SES, INC. proposes to provide a one dollar per hour completion bonus (paid by YOUR COMPANY). This will be paid to technicians that complete the long term project. We feel this will greatly enhance retention and save YOUR COMPANY any additional on-site training expense.
4.0 Detailed Description of How Staff Augmentation will be Provided
4.1. The staff augmentation process will be approached at the point a requirement from YOUR COMPANY is sent to SES, INC...
4.1.1 The first step is to search the database for personnel that have been previously employed by SES, INC. or individuals whose job performance are known from other assignments. We are always most comfortable submitting individuals that have proven themselves to be qualified candidates in the past. SES, INC. prefers to hire people that we know are dependable and qualified.
4.1.2 Next, contact is made with SES, INC. Employees for referrals. Many times individuals with skills similar to the requirement will be acquainted with top performers that may be available. Referrals have proven to be an excellent source for staff augmentation personnel. SES, INC. has a cadre of some of the best contributors in the field. This has been an excellent source of referrals.
4.1.3 Then we contact those candidates that have been identified as possessing the skills to meet the job description or requirement. We discuss the job description with the candidate to determine if there is a match. We discuss the duration of the assignment, compensation, and other specifics that may be important such as housing, transportation, work schedule, and overtime.
4.1.4 Once selected, the candidate is asked to commit to a report date.
4.1.5 Resumes of available personnel are e-mailed to YOUR COMPANY along with a billing rate and travel terms if applicable.
4.1.6 YOUR COMPANY reviews the resumes and selects prospective candidates. The identified individuals are again contacted to verify availability. Generally, a personal interview or telephone interview is arranged at this time with the YOUR COMPANY technical interface. This interview further confirms that there is a match.
4.1.7 YOUR COMPANY selects a person to be brought on board.
4.1.8 The candidate is hired. A new hire packet is completed which includes Rules of Conduct.
4.2. Corporate Office
SES, INC. Office

4.2.1 Customer Satisfaction
SES, INC. ensures its customers are completely satisfied with personnel provided for job assignments. SES, INC. will immediately remove any of its personnel with/without cause when notified of inadequate performance.
4.3 RECRUITING
Successful performance on any contract begins with the recruiting process. During this process, both the applicant and the company assess each other’s qualifications and potential for growth in the work relationship. SES, INC. utilizes a number of methods to recruit:
4.3.1 Compensation
Our compensation plan was developed to complement our ability to recruit, hire, and retain a fully qualified workforce. Our salary structure is validated with surveys from local and national labor markets and is proven to be competitive. Likewise, our fringe benefits package is attractive to potential candidates, and we maintain reasonable and competitive benefit levels. This measure is essential in the recruitment and retention of a qualified workforce.
4.3.2 Networking
Our most successful recruiting tool is networking. SES, INC. has established a nation-wide network of technical contacts. This includes employees, SES, INC. personnel in sister divisions, former SES, INC. employees, consultants and retirees. These are individuals that we have interfaced with and know personally. Through our network of contacts, we are able to recruit candidates with proven skills and capabilities. It is a “word of mouth” method that minimizes the chances of getting poor performers.
Through our network, nearly all of the personnel we select for hire are known to us before they are hired. The customer benefits by obtaining carefully screened candidates with proven track records that can perform exceptionally well. This saves the customer time and money.
4.3.3 Internet
The Internet presence has become a useful tool to gain nationwide access to job seekers. This capability adds to our ability to recruit qualified candidates. Our Internet web page provides a source of unsolicited resumes. Access to Internet resume services allows focused searches for task specific candidates.
