The Standard Form 330 (SF330) plays a pivotal role in the proposal process for public sector architectural and engineering projects in the United States. Mandated for federal bids, this multi page form gives firms the opportunity to showcase key staff qualifications and relevant project experience when competing for new contracts.

For those that have filled out the form before, you’ll know that it can be a long-winded process. Section E specifically can be a huge time-drain. For each employee you put forward, you must input their details, and highlight their 5 most relevant project experiences. Just sourcing this information can be tricky enough, but then you have to tailor it to match the client’s needs, and then copy and paste data to the form. Doing this for one employee can be tedious, but when doing it for tens, or even hundreds of employees, it becomes an incredibly onerous challenge.

How to automate the SF330

CV Partner, firms can automate away these manual tasks, and fast-track the submission of the SF 330 form. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3:

‍

1. Using CV Partner’s CV and resume database, users can easily search across their entire workforce for employees with specific skills, project experiences, accreditations, and more. From there, they can cherry-pick the best candidates for the bid.

2. Once the employees are selected, the user can then tailor their profiles. For the SF330, this will mean toggling the employee project experiences to only include 5 projects, while reordering them so that they are ranked in order of relevance. The user may also choose to adapt the experience descriptions to tailor them to fit the client’s needs - all without altering the master resume. These tailored sections are automatically saved so they can be re-used in future proposals.

3. Last but not least, the user simply needs to export the profiles to the SF330 template - which CV Partner can setup for you. This template will map employee details, such as name, role title, education, etc to the relevant form fields, while mapping the selected project experiences too.
