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 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 contract with a vendor or supplier. This contract will be reviewed and evaluated annually and may be renewed by the Superintendent, per the terms of the specifications.
