ISSUES
VA Medical Center Directors
consistently replaced due to
corruption or mismanagement
Veterans are caught in the middle
Bad top management causes trickle
down to employees
Favoritism/Cronyism runs rampant in
the system
Why is this
Important?
Taxpayer money is used for VA funding.
Hiring the same type managers/directors
Veterans paying the price due to poorly
managed health care operatations
Causes frustration with employees
having inconsistent management
Good quality candidates will not apply or
leave due to lack of promotion
opportunities
Poor quality candidates will move up
the ladder
Cycle continues
Can Big Data Solve
This?
It is the best alternative
A different approach
The VA has not changed their
method of hiring even when
nationwide mismanagement has
occurred.
Pairing algorithms with hiring
managers to help identify
potential candidates
