RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Human Resources, or designee, to execute a contract with SkillSurvey, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $210,000 to provide a cloud-based reference checking software system for the period of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020. (100% General Fund)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the contract for the first year ($70,000) is within the Human Resources Department's FY 17-18 budget. The cost of the subsequent two years will be offset by charges to user departments that will utilize the system.
BACKGROUND:
SkillSurvey is an automated, cloud-based reference checking system. This tool has hundreds of job-specific questionnaires designed by industrial and organizational psychologists to help references rate the candidate on the specific behaviors that are relevant to a given job. Ratings have been validated to correlate with reduced first-year turnover for cause and better post-hire performance.
