County HR proposes switching job-posting vendor to eQuest; small budget increase covered
Summary
Human Resources staff proposed switching the county’s job-posting vendor to eQuest to consolidate postings across major job boards; cost is about $4 more than the current vendor and is accounted for in the budget.
Human Resources staff proposed switching the county’s job-posting service to eQuest to centralize postings on multiple job boards and reduce staff time spent posting openings individually.
Emily Wild said eQuest can pull job listings from Oracle or the county career site and distribute them to sites such as Handshake, Indeed, Monster and LinkedIn, and to required diversity job boards. "It's basically like a one-stop shop," Wild said, adding that the service will "save my team a lot of time." When asked about cost, Wild said the new service is "about $4 more than what we're paying now," and confirmed the additional expense is included in her budget.
Commissioners expressed support for the change. The transcript records no formal contract award vote during the meeting; Wild said the change and vendor details would appear on the commission agenda for action at a later date.
If approved, the county would move from the current vendor (contract ending July 1) to eQuest to streamline job posting and automatic distribution to college- and diversity-oriented job networks.
