Interviews allow us to probe deeper into subjects addressed during the prescreening phase of assessment, providing a clearer overall picture of a candidate's traits, experience, and capabilities. Spherion conducts interviews using open-ended situational interviewing techniques relevant to the positions and skills needed at the City of Lubbock. These interviews help us investigate how the applicants have handled similar past situations, which we believe is a predictor of future behavior. Job -specific Hard Skill Assessments-Spherion perforans hard skill assessments to validate each candidate's competence for the positions in your workplace. Our Recruiters have access to more than 1,200 hard skill assessments, selected based on specific job profiles. These assessments: • Simulate software and skill environments with fully functional menus to test basic, intermediate, and advanced competencies • Provide assessment capabilities in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and French- Canadian • Specific assessments are selected based on your unique job profiles, and each is EEO compliant Soft Skills Assessment-Spherion realizes that to provide the City of Lubbock with the right employees, we must do more than identify the required skills. We must deliver qualified employees who also have the ability, motivation to learn, perform, and the disposition to stick with the job. To complete this level of candidate evaluation, Spherion utilizes a proprietary personality and cognitive assessment that provides accurate and reliable information on an individual's job-related behavior for over 20 different job groups. Spherion's soft skills assessment has been shown to predict job related performance factors such as absenteeism, turnover, and supervisor's performance ratings. Orientation Process Once a candidate has been identified as a best fit for the City, Spherion will deliver a customized orientation covering policies, procedures and department specifics. We want the employee to be successful in their new assignment; Spherion Staff goes in great detail over each policy. We tailor to include critical information regarding the City, including your business culture, policies, procedures and department specifics. One of the most important things we do during orientation is communicate expected performance levels, including standards relating to productivity, punctuality, attendance and behavior. This ensures each employee understands their role at City of Lubbock and the work that is required to make their assignment successful. As new expectations are defined or refined, we repeat this process to ensure continuous understanding and improvement. n I sphenion' ity of Slafling;Services ORIGINAL � tlubbock lowN TEXAS Benefits to the City of Lubbock - By assessing employability, job fit, skills, and behavioral characteristics we obtain a complete picture of our candidates' abilities and personality traits, and pinpoint employment opportunities that match their unique profile. As a result, Spherion employees exhibit a higher degree of job satisfaction, which leads to better performance. Additional benefits include: • Prescreening process reduces time -to -fill by lowering the interview -to -hire ratio — Recruiters only spend time with those candidates who represent the best match, and only best match candidates are presented to the City of Lubbock for consideration Retaining the Contingent Workforce- Retention is a critical success factor — turnover is expensive for us and disruptive to our clients. Therefore, we focus on end-to-end employee engagement. Some of our programs include: • Employee orientation: To ensure a smooth introduction, Spherion counsels its employees before the start of their assignment; topics include Spherion's expectations of the employee, the client's expectations for job performance, work hours, time reporting, specific client rules, regulations, policies, and dress code expectations.

Web -based Tutorials are offered to Spherion temporary employees at no cost Recruiting Strategies One of the most critical first steps is developing a recruiting plan to source those candidates who would best meet your specific skill and attribute requirements in order to source a workforce that is consistent with community demographics. To accomplish this, we first outline local sources where individuals live, learn, work and play, as well as where they "click" - such as skill -specific job boards and social media sites. Our recruiting plan includes methods and sources to attract both the active and the passive job seekers. Recruiting Tools Spherion's core competencies are the sourcing, recruiting, assessment, placement, and management of employees to meet the needs of our clients. Following are some of the tools that we use to ensure rapid recruiting and service excellence. Spherion has developed innovative ways to respond to shrinking workforce trends in an effort to continue to identify top employees. Spherion's continual innovation ensures that both active and passive candidates regard Spherion as a portal to employment. Recent recruiting strategies include: • Social media: Advancement in utilizing social media for sourcing and recruiting. Candidate sourcing has evolved significantly over the last decade. Recruiting has moved to the web • and has progressed as users have increased in their sophistication. Spherion has adapted accordingly and utilizes successful social networks to generate candidate flow. • Mobile devices: Spherion's recruiting strategy incorporates multiple forms of technology to reach candidates and employees. This capability enhances the candidate experience by providing quicker and more efficient access to jobs and allows us to put the best candidates in front of our clients more quickly. We also use these methods to communicate schedule changes, overtime requests, weather alerts, etc. with individuals or groups on an ongoing basis. Mobile sourcing initiatives include: — Branded mobile websites for Spherion — Call -Ern -All —instant telephone communication — Text job alerts —text messages I sphenion' .Slang .S'ertdces W — E-mail communications ORIGINAL pity of Lubbock TEXAS — Mobile job centers —Enable workers to manage their job search on the go, access information on job openings, search for offices, get job recommendations, apply for jobs, and more • Dynamic job postings: Spherion utilizes dynamic job postings as part of our sourcing strategy. Our ads contain the Spherion logo and a short headline that captures the job seekers' attention, hopefully drawing them back to our actual posting. Based on certain actions taken by our candidates, these ads "chase" individuals on other websites that they visit. Traditional Recruiting Methods -Our visible presence is an important part of the sourcing equation. This approach enables us to significantly augment our innovative technological and media recruiting with more traditional efforts, including: • Open houses -We regularly contact all of our sources and hold open houses on and off-site • College/university campus recruiting • State employment services • Chamber of Commerce events • Event sponsorships • Community and professional organizations • Employee/customer referrals -We incentivize our employees to refer their family and friends with gift certificates and rewards • Networking groups • Print advertising in local and national newspapers Pay Methods • Direct Deposit • I-PayCard- Provides fast and reliable access via ATMs to payroll funds for employees with or without a bank account, saving time and increasing productivity. • E -Stubs are sent to employees email • Should the employee not have access to email the local office can print their a -stub for them Safety Methods Spherion strongly believes that Safety Is of the utmost importance to reduce on the job injuries. Spherion Staffing will continue to provide strong safety training for our flexible staff. As part of our safety program and in accordance with OSHA regulation to include Globally Harmonized System update (GHS), all Spherion temporary employees receive a safety orientation. While program elements are customized for either office or light industrial environments, topics discussed during the training can include: > General safety rules i Office equipment usage Weight restrictions and proper lifting techniques Ergonomics awareness r Prohibited tasks %+ Communication of unsafe working conditions i spher"iorl .SU11 ing8enzces ORIGINAL i Safe dress for industrial environments Accident reporting procedures > Chemical hazard awareness -GHS Lockout and tagout awareness Powered industrial equipment awareness General personal protective equipment use Personal Protective Equipment -Provided by Spherion Staffing Returning Retirees Lubbock TEXAS The hourly wage will be verified with the designated representative prior to placement once approved we will honor the retirees wages provide they are working in the same department and job. We recognize no recruiting will be required for these positions allowing us to give the City of Lubbock a better rate for the clerical/administration jobs. However such positions as drivers/equipment operators will still require additional cost/coverage and would possibly be at the greater rate for that department and the Retiree rate would not apply.

In the event that Spherion is unable to fill the request, we will contact the ordering source to allow them time to contact another agency. Spherion has extensive experience and history through the partnership with The City of Lubbock and we will supply only qualified candidates to assignments for the City of Lubbock. Spherion understands that each employee sent to work at the City of Lubbock is not guaranteed a permanent position and that is also clearly communicated to our flexible employees. No hire on -fee will be assessed should the City of Lubbock want to hire an employee on after working with Spherion for 30 days. 2.5 IdealMatch Selection Process Our IdealMatch selection process helps us determine the best match for your requirements. To determine if an individual will be successful in your environment, we first define the "must -have" requirements so we can prescreen for requirements such as educational requisites, certifications, prior experience, etc. We also select specific interview questions, by skills, that are a combination of behavioral and skill -based questions. We are firm believers that past performance is a strong predictor of future performance, so we measure both hard and soft skills. We then verify past employment and administer any other screen you require, such as drug screens and criminal background checks. Our proactive employee selection process ensures our candidates are placed in assignments where they are most likely to succeed. Through employability and job fit assessments, each candidate is scored on their match with our clients' specific skill categories and across the full range of Spherion's job groups. I spheri6n ORIGINAL of f Senicek tiubV01111ck TEXAS This unique approach identifies the greatest number of employment opportunities for our candidates, while simultaneously meeting our clients' demand for individuals who meet their requirements. 2.6 Replacement for flexible Staff We understand that turnover is expensive and disruptive to our clients. We will make every effort to place the right employee in the temporary assignment the first time. However, when the need arises to replace an employee Spherion will engage in the same hiring criteria as stated in the agreement and will involve management's judgment. If a supervisor is not satisfied with the temporary employee, they must contact their Coordinator to allow us to send a replacement. If the call is made within 2 hours of the employees start time and the employee is sent back to Spherion there will be no charge for the time the employee worked. However if the 2 hour time limit is exceeded the City will be billed for the hours worked by said employee. All employee issues including emergencies will be handled immediately. We are on-call 24/7; 365 days, our afterhours contact number 806-239- 0154. You will always reach a local Spherion Representative. If Spherion cannot fill an order within 4 hours, Spherion Staff will contact the ordering source allowing them the courtesy of contacting another agency. Communication as follows: a.
