GovHR USA, LLC and CornerStone Staffing Solutions, Inc. for a Combined Total Amount
Not to Exceed $650,000 Annually for Recruitment Placement Services for City

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize the execution of a Master Professional Services Agreement with Careers Work, Inc. in an
amount not to exceed $250,000.00 annually for executive recruitment services for all City
departments; and
Authorize the execution of a Master Professional Services Agreement with GovHR USA, Inc. in an

departments; and
Authorize the execution of a Master Professional Services Agreement with CornerStone Staffing
Solutions, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00 annually for non -executive recruitment
services for all City departments.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth currently uses only one talent acquisition service (Mackenzie Eason and
Associates) exclusively for its recruiting efforts. In order to provide more options for departments
within the City, an effort is being made by the Human Resources (HR) Department to provide
additional professional services that may better reflect the type of talent acquisition services a
department is looking for. The HR Department is seeking to enter into agreements with
CornerStone Staffing Solutions, Inc. (Cornerstone) for non -executive positions and GovHR USA, Inc.
(GovHR) and Careers Work, Inc. (Careers Work) for executive level positions.
Gov HR has municipality experience and has recruited for public -sector entities. They have worked
with the Park and Recreation Department within the last year and proven themselves to have a very
robust process that will meet the special and often unique needs and circumstances facing local
governments and not -for profit clients. Careers Work is a local executive firm and will tailor its
recruitment program to meet our needs by utilizing multi -channel sourcing and recruitment
strategies. Both firms provide a commitment to diversity in the candidate pool and will assist the city's
diversity efforts in ensuring that our internal workforce reflects the diversity of our community. They
will both also provide the City with a two year guarantee for our executive recruitments.
Cornerstone will assist with providing adequate pools of qualified private sector candidates for non -
executive positions that are difficult to fill each year in various departments. Cornerstone currently
provides separate temporary staffing services to the City under a separate agreement and has
deployed a custom marketing strategy and executed a targeted and proactive recruitment campaign
to engage elite talent.
Authorizing these Master Services Agreements with the above mentioned companies allows every
department to utilize these services, along with the current services offered my Mackenzie Eason and

M&C Review
Associaties, eliminates the need for departments to enter into individual contract Agreements and
provides choices for the departments to use such services on an as needed basis. All recruiting fees
would be approved by the appropriate Assistant City Manager and Department Director, and charged
to the department for which the search is being performed.
TERM - These Agreements shall be effective upon execution and shall remain in effect for one year
from the date of execution.
RENEWALS - These Agreements may be renewed at the City's option for four consecutive terms of
one year each. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that sufficient
funds have been appropriated during the renewal terms. The pricing during any renewal term shall
not exceed five percent of the previous years' pricing.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the participating departments and that prior to an expenditure being made, the
participating department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds without exceeding
existing appropriations.
