The County has been using GovernmentJobs.com, Inc. for a number of years to provide our applicant tracking system. The addition of the Onboarding module is a significant step toward modernizing the County’s recruitment and hiring activities. It will provide a contemporary experience for new hires, streamline the hiring process, and enable new hires to complete their onboarding documents before their first day of work. In addition, 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 will help ensure hiring documents and steps are completed and processed in a timely fashion. Automation will support exporting records and storing them digitally in the employee’s electronic personnel file. In addition, the integration feature will move new hire data from NeoGov directly into PeopleSoft, reducing work and eliminating inconsistencies resulting from duplicate data entry errors and virtually eliminate 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 add the Onboarding module which would significantly hinder our ability to modernize our processes and move toward a paperless system.
