Industry Day Presentation: Implementing DHS’ Cybersecurity Talent Management System (CTMS)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) Cybersecurity Statutory Authority Program Office (CSAP) is soliciting input and feedback on draft requirements for the implementation and operation of its new cybersecurity-focused personnel system, the Cybersecurity Talent Management System (CTMS). The CTMS is authorized by the Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Act of 2014 and aims to modernize the civil service for cybersecurity work by introducing alternative methods for defining jobs, hiring, and compensating employees. DHS is seeking innovative approaches to quickly address cybersecurity staffing needs through CTMS.

The objectives outlined for industry support include assisting in the design, launch, and refinement of CTMS, developing employment branding and marketing materials to attract cybersecurity talent to DHS, and enhancing talent acquisition strategies to ensure a sufficient pipeline of qualified applicants. Skills sought from vendors include expertise in HR practices across federal government and private industry, knowledge of cybersecurity staffing/retention, and experience in recruiting top cybersecurity talent. The program is expected to expand nationwide over multiple years, focusing initially on Washington, DC area needs.

Key success factors include improving offer acceptance and retention rates, sustainable CTMS processes, transparent communication throughout employee lifecycle, and increased awareness of cybersecurity opportunities at DHS. The presentation emphasizes coordination among contractors supporting the effort and ongoing collaboration with stakeholders. Vendors providing services related to cybersecurity talent management operations, HR practices, talent acquisition, marketing, branding, and recruitment are encouraged to attend the Industry Day on December 9, 2019 in Washington, DC.
