FEEDBACK ON REJECTED CANDIDATE- Please make sure to talk to any potential candidates to ensure they have the below.

• Candidate does have what looks to be 4+ years of some knowledge commensurate with the procurement analyst position however, 2012 - 2016 looks to be more of as purchase card holder and supply technician vs having full life cycle contracting or contract knowledge.

• Candidates resume does not provide experience in the full-lifecycle requirements development process as experience seems to fall just short of involvement with contracting officers and/or interacting directly with contracting offices. This impacts the amount of experience dealing with full life-cycle procurement, contracts and contracts management
