Approve the Contract with Frontline Technologies for the Purchase of AppliTrack Recruiting and TeacherFit Software Subscriptions (Human Resources Division) | |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
The AppliTrack recruiting tool will allow Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) to post vacancies to social media sites, job boards, the HCPS web site, and K12JobSpot.com. This allows HCPS to broaden the scope of searches to find the high-quality applicants needed.
TeacherFit provides personality and skill set research-based selection tools designed to match an applicant’s characteristics to attributes of high-performing employees. These assessments will provide insight and offer the availability to filter applicants. This purchase is exempt from the competitive solicitation process per Florida Department of Education 6A-1.012(14) Purchasing Policies. A district school board, when acquiring, whether by purchase, lease, lease with option to purchase, rental or otherwise, information technology, as defined in Section 282.0041(14), F.S., may make any acquisition through the competitive solicitation process as described herein or by direct negotiation and contract with a vendor or supplier. The Superintendent is authorized to approve any renewal agreements, per the terms of the specifications. |
