workers per year. Each clerical or professional temporary worker requested works from a few days
to several months, where the majority of requests are two to six weeks in duration. The City also
utilizes approximately 150 to 225 trade's temporary workers per year. The majority of these workers
are utilized during the summer months as seasonal workers and work from about the middle of May
through the middle of September. A Medical category is included for the Health Department on a
contingency basis or as needed.
1.2 The City may select more than two temporary employment agencies, per job family category, to
service this contract and will provide personnel requests to the agencies that provide the most prompt

pre-screened employees who meet the requirements of each task request. PSS, Inc. as-
signs a dedicated customer service team (CST) to each project which is led by a seasoned
Account Manager who is the City's liaison. PSS, Inc.'s approach includes identifying a dedi-
cated pool of PSS, Inc. Associates for the City. As a matter of practice, PSS, Inc. requires
eligible Associates selected for this exclusive pool to successfully satisfy all testing, screen-
ing, and background checks to qualify. This includes drug screening, telephone reference
checks, and criminal history checks. The past year has proven challenging with respect to
the recruitment of talent. PSS, Inc., to bring a viable solution to the City, has increased its

6.1.1 Describe the testing procedures used to determine skills and physical
abilities of workers.
As part of PSS, Inc.'s five -point recruitment, selection, and placement process, PSS
verifies the skills and qualifications of candidates for employment in two or more ways:
work references, skills assessment, and educational verification. PSS has partnered
with SHL Aspiring Minds to provide pre -hire testing of PSS, Inc.'s candidates. Testing is
conducted in an online proctored environment to ensure the security and reliability of
each test. SHL Aspiring Minds' assessments measure knowledge, skill, aptitude, and at-
titude. SHL Aspiring Minds uses adaptive testing to ensure each candidate is offered a
test that adapts to their level of proficiency. The tool dynamically selects the question
and difficulty level under an adaptive testing model, based on the test taker's respons-
es. This combined nine (9) points of difficulty inherent in each test allow the application
to accurately identify the most appropriate question within the sub -skills of the assess-
ment. This model provides a more tailored and thorough assessment. the sub -skills
within each test are independently analyzed, which allows PSS, Inc.'s Recruiters to use
the results to determine the skills level of the candidate and make the best job order
match using the results more accurately. PSS, Inc. has found this to be the most accu-
rate and detailed way to identify a candidate's strengths, weaknesses, or proficiencies.
Currently, SHL Aspiring Minds offers assessments in the following areas:
• Information Technology
• Accounting
• Basic Computer Skills
• Medical and Healthcare
• Administrative
• Call Center
• Enterprise Resource Planning
• MS Office
• Attitude/Aptitude
Using the results of a candidate's assessment, (See Figure 1) PSS, Inc.'s Recruiters
can decide whether the candidate should be considered for the assignment.

assessment for customers. PSS can select the right candidate for each task order us-
ing these assessments and PSS, Inc.'s reference checks, background screening, and

tion to determine their fitness for certain assignments.

ed within thirty (30) days prior to the placement date or an exam that was previously

6.1.2 Methodology used to supply qualffled personnel aver notification of need
(criminal history checks through the Texas Department of Public Safety, drug
testing, etc.).
Once PSS, Inc. receives a request from the City's designated representative, the as-
signed Account Manager reviews the order. Any questions regarding the order are ad-
dressed with the ordering individual. The assigned Recruiter searches PSS, Inc.'s ap-
plicant database using the skills, experience, and other job requirements to determine
the best Associate for the order. The Associate's qualifications and background are
presented to the City's designated representative for approval and placement. With
highly technical or special skill task order requests, the company's goal is to submit a
minimum of two Associates for consideration. PSS, Inc. ensures all task orders are
processed within the required timeframe by the City's designated representatives.
PSS, Inc. employs a tailored recruiting approach to meet the recruitment requirements
of its customers. PSS, Inc.'s approach is designed to attract and retain key staff to en-
sure that customers experience little disruption to their operations due to staff turnover.
Under this effort, PSS, Inc.'s approach to recruiting candidates is comprised of six key
elements:
• Development of a tailored staffing plan based focused on proactive recruitment
using historical data, trends, and customer input,
• Assignment of dedicated recruiters tasked to ascertain the personnel resource
needs of each ordering department,
• Development of a database of personnel, with the requisite qualifications and ex-
perience to meet the needs of each ordering department,
• Utilization of incentives such as salary, bonus, and fringe benefits to attract and
retain qualified personnel,
• Utilization of several recruiting sources, including referrals, job boards, media ad-
vertisements, job fairs, subcontractor assistance, and trade journals to attract the
personnel with the appropriate skills and experience to successfully fulfill task or-
der requirements, and
• Training, assessment, and development programs to appropriately place the cor-
rect Associate with the correct assignment and ensure skill development.
PSS, Inc. utilizes an HRIS specific to the staffing industry, which supports the compa-
ny's aggressive recruiting approach. PSS, Inc.'s recruiting approach is based on an
ability to compete for the best candidates using technology and tools attractive to candi-
dates in the industry. PSS, Inc.'s HRIS application, Bullhom, includes an applicant por-
tal that allows PSS, Inc.'s candidates to apply online and manage their application pro-
cess in an efficient and expeditious manner. Candidates can complete their application,
submit their resume and appropriate certifications, as well as complete the required as-
sessment testing through the portal. Once an application posts, a notification is imme-
diately sent.

PSS, Inc. has the ability and proven experience to fill requests as required under this
RFP. PSS, Inc.'s specific process for placing candidates is based on our registered
trademarked process /QR®. This process comprises three key components:
• Identification of the critical assignment components,
• Qualification of all relevant tasks, and quantifying the length of the assignment,
number of Associates required and specific technical skills necessary and
• Resolution of the assignment through completion.
PSS, Inc. employs the following five -step matching process which is intrinsic to PSS,
Inc.'s recruiting and hiring program and ensures that gap assessments are initiated and
evaluated at each step. This ensures each candidate has been fully screened. These
steps include:
• Pre,screen - PSS, Inc.'s Recruiters begin the dialogue with a pre-screening of the
applicant over the telephone. This is an in-depth screening to solicit experience,
technical skills, and work preference.
• Interview — PSS, Inc. utilizes the interview process to close the gaps and to begin
the assessment of the skills, integrity, and work ethics of the candidate.
• Skills Assessment - PSS, Inc.'s skills assessments are based on the qualifications
and profession of the individuals. They include writing samples and an evaluation of
technical skills. In addition, PSS, Inc. employs computer -based testing for some
skills and others are assessed by PSS, Inc.'s technical staff. As this is a critical
component of PSS, Inc.'s selection criteria, the bulk of a candidate's interview is
spent in this area.
• Reference and Background Checks - All successful candidates are thoroughly
reference checked before joining PSS, Inc.'s firm. PSS, Inc.'s policy is to secure a
minimum of two (2) business references. The company uses National Background
Investigations, Inc. (NBI) and HireRight to conduct employment background screen-
ing which includes employment verification and criminal checks. Additional back-
ground checks such as credit, sexual offender registry, and motor vehicle records
checks are performed upon request. These checks are also conducted by NBI and
HireRight on PSS, Inc.'s behalf. For this contract, PSS, Inc. will utilize HireRight. As
required by the City, PSS, Inc. incorporates a criminal history check through the
Texas Department of Public Safety. See Figure 2—NBI Applicant Release and Au-
thorization Form below as well as Attachment 1—Sample HireRight Consent Form,
and Attachment 2—PSS, Inc. Consent to Background Check Form.

The above process is designed to culminate in a five -point matching plan to screen and
select the best candidate for the position. The critical components of which are experi-
ence, skills, demeanor, and professionalism. The City is assured each assigned Asso-
ciate has been through an extensive review process by PSS, Inc. This directly contrib-
utes to the high quality of PSS, Inc.'s contingent personnel. PSS, Inc. screening does
not stop with the hiring of an individual. Each Associate's skill sets are routinely re-
viewed throughout his or her tenure with PSS, Inc. to ensure skill levels remain current.
PSS, Inc. primarily employs professional individuals. Many of the skills sought require
specialized testing to ensure levels of education and experience are resident with an
applicant. These include online and CD -based software programs that provide ad-
vanced technical testing options.
As a best practice, PSS, Inc. maintains an ongoing recruitment program for PSS, Inc.'s
contracts. The company developed project -specific databases in PSS, Inc.'s HRIS,
Bullhorn, based on the contract's labor category and skill requirements. This practice
has served PSS, Inc. well in dynamic, task order environments such as PSS, Inc.'s con-
tracts with the University of Illinois at Chicago, Commonwealth of Virginia, Employee
Trust Funds, Texas Health and Human Services, State of Delaware, Prince Georges
County Maryland, County of Baltimore, City of Tallahassee, Metropolitan Washington
Airports Authority, and the state of Missouri.
PSS, Inc. maintains a database in Bullhorn of over 57,000 individuals with whom PSS,
Inc.'s recruiting team maintains regular contact to ensure that PSS, Inc.'s candidate
source remains current. Bullhorn allows the selection of candidates based on keyword
searches. This assists the Recruiters with identifying candidates with the exact skill
match required and reduces the turn -around time when filling positions. PSS, Inc. has
the management resources, experience, and track record to partner with the City on this
effort effectively.

of their assigned duties. PSS, Inc. conducts a check with the Department of Motor Ve-
hicles prior to placement on an assignment to ensure the candidate has a valid driving
license and to ensure all information provided by the candidate matches the information
noted on the license. The driver's license record of an Associate is checked annually by
PSS, Inc. to ensure the Associate's license remains valid.

6.1.4 Describe procedures to replace workers that do not meet job expectations.
PSS, Inc. is committed to making certain each employee placed with the City meets the
requirements of the position, and the individual represents himself/herself and the com-
pany in a professional manner. PSS, Inc. contacts the end -user within four (4) hours of
the start of each assignment. In addition, the Account Manager makes routine perfor-
mance checks with the end -user to ensure performance remains high. However, if at
any time the City is dissatisfied with an employee immediate notification is requested by
PSS, Inc. With respect to timing, the company's preference is to receive feedback dur-
ing the first day of the assignment. To this end, PSS, Inc. assigned Account Manager
or other members of the Customer Service Team, contacts the end -user to confirm the
assigned Associate's skills are at expected levels at the end of the first day. PSS, Inc.
encourages end users to make certain they assess assignments given to the Associate
during the first day to determine whether the Associate's skills and proficiency are as
requested.
PSS, Inc. offers the industry standard of a four (4) guarantee on any placement. If, dur-
ing the company's four-hour service check during the first day of the assignment, the
City is not satisfied with the Associate, the City will not be charged. PSS, Inc. identifies
and submits a replacement Associate. PSS, Inc.'s service guarantee is not limited to the
first four hours. If the City is not satisfied with the assigned Associate at any time, PSS,
Inc. determines the nature of the concern and acts appropriately. For example, during
the assignment concerns may arise regarding the Associate. The Associate is encour-
aged to immediately resolve the matter with counseling from the Account Manager. If,
the concern involves technical skills or work ethic issues, PSS, Inc. immediately re-
moves the individual and presents a replacement. All communication with PSS, Inc.
personnel regarding performance is done by the Account Manager or the Associate's
assigned Recruiting Manager. The company takes its roles as the employer seriously
and never its customers in performance matters.
PSS, Inc. Associates are recognized and rewarded for excellent performance. Through
the company's reward and recognition program, PTPTm (Performance Through Partner-
ship), Associates receive monetary, and other recognition for bringing value to the client
relationship through their performance and input. Associates also receive recognition
for attendance, punctuality, and the receipt of excellent customer feedback. The goal of
PTPTm is to effectively involve its personnel in the quality of its service delivery. The
company also views the assigned Associate as a customer. As such PSS, Inc. strives
to match Associate skills, personal preferences, and experience to a job order. It has
been the company's experience that the better the match, the higher level of satisfaction
from both the customer and the Associate.

6.1.5 Describe normal billing procedures and include a sample invoice.
PSS, Inc.'s billings and payroll processes adapt to meet the City's specifications and
produce documentation of payments to support billing, tax, W 2, and deduction purpos-
es. PSS, Inc. proposes to utilize the electronic timekeeping system, TimeSheets.com
(see Figure b) for staff with internet access. The company also uses manual timesheets
(see Figure 6) for all other staff. Clients and PSS, Inc. can remotely monitor (via their
web browser) all arrivals and departures and approve time for assigned staff regardless
of location.
PSS, Inc.'s Senior Accountants download file interfaces; review time re-
ports/authorizations and timesheets; process and distribute weekly payroll checks; and
prepare weekly or monthly billings and reports that accurately reconcile to approved
timesheets. All electronic timesheets are imported into the PSS, Inc. accounting sys-
tem, QuickBooks, and reviewed for data transfer integrity. Manual timesheets are re-
viewed for accuracy and authenticity. Data is entered into the accounting system and
the contracted amount is billed in the agreed format. PSS, Inc. prepares template -
based management reports or will customize them to fit any of the City's additional re-
porting requirements. Billings are prepared according to contract terms and quality re-
viewed by PSS, Inc.'s Chief Financial Officer prior to distribution to clients. Billings are
scanned and emailed to clients as well as uploaded into PSS, Inc.'s client portal for City
viewing 24/7. Payment terms are typically net 30. PSS, Inc. accepts payment by
check, credit card, P-card, and electronic fund transfer.
PSS, Inc. pays its employees overtime and one and a half times their regular pay rate.
The customer is billed a 31 % markup on overtime. Overtime is considered hours
worked in excess of 40 hours within the work week.
