Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State is issuing this Request for Proposals for vendors to design, maintain and promote a centralized web-based recruitment and talent management portal for all Delaware districts, charter schools, and Department of Education (DDOE). The State plans to devote financial resources to support this portal through 2025, with the continued funding based upon the efficacy of the vendor in making this a premier tool that is widely-used throughout the state. A. BACKGROUND 1. The State of Delaware school system is composed of 19 school districts, approximately 24 charter schools, and several alternative schools, that educate almost 140,000 students and employ over 19,000 staff of different levels. http://profiles.doe.k12.de.us/schoolprofiles/State/Default.aspx 2. In 2012 the Department of Education (DOE) issued an RFP and awarded a contract to create an online statewide educator recruitment website and talent management portal to support the recruitment and selection efforts of all local education agencies (LEAs) in the state, the Join Delaware Schools (JDS). JDS is composed of three inter-related sections: a) A Word Press site http://www.joindelawareschools.org b) An application site to allow applicant/candidates to create applications and apply for positions posted by employers c) A site to promote listings on national job boards 3. The state required a system that would enable DOE and all Delaware districts and charter schools, or Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to post and monitor vacancies for all open positions in public education in the State (e.g. instructional and noninstructional). The State required the ability to create real-time and longitudinal reports which were used by LEAs to improve forecasting and succession planning.
