Item No: 5.D. 2022 N10U-NM1tSVVfE-W Meeting Date August 8, enda Type of Business: Consent Agenda Administrator review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resource Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9618 Authorizing the Purchase of NEOGOV Online Recruitment Module Background Staff presented information during the August 1, 2022 Council Work Session regarding the City's current online employment application process. Staff is seeking convenient ways for candidates to apply for employment opportunities at the City. With the addition of the Parks and Recreation Department in 2021, and vacancies that naturally occur, positions are constantly posted for recruitment. Presently the City has six (6) vacancies open. Discussion Presently when a candidate attempts to apply for a position with the City, there are multiple steps involved. After receiving candidate information, staff reviews each application, meets with supervisors, schedules interviews with qualified candidates, and other administrative details follow. NEOGOV offers an online recruitment system which saves candidates time when completing their application process. The system has the ability to score applications and notify candidates if they are moving along in the hiring process. Council received a brief demonstration during the Work Session comparing the City's current online employment application process, as compared to the NEOGOV Online Recruitment Module. Staff relayed concerns that candidates may not be applying to the City for vacant job openings due to the cumbersome process currently required. NEOGOV is an Online Recruitment Module designed specifically for government agencies. Applicants are able to easily retrieve profiles and update, in the event where seasonal candidates return to Public Works or Parks and Recreation positions. The Human Resource Committee had an opportunity to compare the two demonstrations prior to the Work Session. Council consensus from the Work Session was to move forward and purchase the NEOGOV Online Recruitment Module. Budget: If the City signs with NEOGOV for two (2) years, they will give us the first year at 50% off. First year $4,954, plus $1,750 set up fee; Second year $9,908. Total cost = $16,612 Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Resolution 9618 Authorizing the Purchase of NEOGOV Online Recruitment Module. Respectfully submitted, Rayla Sue Ewald Human Resource Director Attachment(s): Resolution 9618, Authorizing the Purchase of NEOGOV Online Recruitment Module Exhibit A, NEOGOV Order Total The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
