The County has been contracting with GovernmentJobs.com, Inc. for a number of years to provide our applicant tracking system. The addition of the Onboarding module was a significant step toward modernizing the County's recruitment and hiring activities. It has provided a contemporary experience for new hires, streamlined the hiring process, and enabled new hires to complete their onboarding documents before their first day of work. The Onboarding module is used during the first year of employment to support the employee's integration into the workplace. The availability of status reports, automatic reminders, and overdue notices help to ensure hiring documents and steps are completed and processed in a timely manner. Automation allows for exporting records and storing them digitally in the employee's electronic personnel file. This integration feature allows new hire data from NeoGov to be moved directly into PeopleSoft which reduces work, eliminates inconsistencies resulting from duplicate data entry errors and virtually eliminates the use of paper.  
  
The applicant tracking and onboarding system will be hosted on the internet by the vendor. The agreement obligates the vendor to indemnify the County for third party losses arising out of the vendor's negligence or willful misconduct in performing the agreement, provided that the vendor's indemnity obligation is capped at their insurance limits under the agreement - $1,000,000 for general liability and $4,000,000 for cyberinsurance.

If the contract is not approved, we will not be able to access the vendors tracking system which would significantly hinder our ability to continue modernizing our processes and move toward a paperless system.
