   Introduction

 

Introduction

 

Background

This Statement of Work document (“SOW”) details a work plan and defines the scope for a First Advantage Enterprise Screening Corporation (“FAESC”) software implementation project for The First American Corporation (“First American”). This document will outline the steps required to manage the implementation process and the scope of core services included in the FAESC implementation. All professional services provided under this SOW are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the FAESC Professional Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) signed by First American.

At such time as the Agreement is executed and this SOW is finalized, FAESC will commence its efforts to implement the Hiring Management Systems (“HMS”) Applicant Tracking System (ATS) solution for First American.

   First Advantage Approach

 

First Advantage Approach

 

The FAESC Professional Services team provides a consultative approach to organizations looking to optimize recruiting and onboarding processes through best-of-breed applicant tracking software. FAESC follows a repeatable, comprehensive methodology to manage the implementation process. A successful engagement is one in which each step is clearly identified, each objective clearly defined, and all issues and resolutions are clearly communicated. The actions handled in a collaborative effort between the FAESC team and First American’s team are focused to deliver a solution on time, within budget, and with achieved expectations.

Project Process

FAESC shall execute its implementation methodology to meet the goals of First American in driving toward an initial launch of FAESC. The FAESC implementation methodology provides a structured framework for all implementations. Our methodology is an efficient implementation process balancing quality with speed-to-value. This process is the result of extensive experience and provides our clients with a powerful approach for success in their recruitment automation initiatives. Each step in our process has been designed to address the key issues in building comprehensive, repeatable models to provide our clients consistent, reliable results in rapid timeframes. The following graphic provides an overview of the stages in the process.

 

First Advantage Hiring Management Systems   2


   First Advantage Approach

 

The following is an outline of typical activities that make up a FAESC implementation:

Typical Implementation Process

Task Description & Deliverables

 

1. Introductory Kick-Off Call—FAESC leads a project introduction conference call with the First American core project team. This call will encompass identifying roles and responsibilities for the project team, review the scope of the project and high-level project roadmap, discussing project tasks and timing of these activities, and introduction of project control documents as well as other documents to manage the implementation process. An agenda will be provided prior to the call.

 

2. Project Plan—Working with the First American Project Lead, the FAESC Implementation Manager will develop a draft project plan and timeline detailing all of the activities required to successfully implement the solution. As part of the project plan, weekly status meetings will be scheduled and weekly status reports will be provided by the FAESC Implementation Manager.

 

3. Information Exchange—FAESC will provide First American electronically with various documents used to manage and facilitate the implementation (Workflow Questionnaire, New Client Handbook). In return, First American may provide FAESC with any existing documentation to help describe its recruiting workflow, procedures, business needs, etc.

 

4. Configuration Setup Documents—FAESC electronically provides these critical documents (Implementation Prep Checklist, Configuration Workbook) to guide the system configurations. It also outlines some of the preparation work that should be completed by First American prior to the onsite configuration meeting. The completion of this preparation work will allow for ‘discovery’ prior to the actual start of configuration.

 

5. Onsite Configuration Meeting—Upon providing a detailed agenda, the FAESC and First American project teams attend the onsite session at the First American location to walkthrough the system and map business processes to system configuration requirements. This meeting serves as the configuration requirements baseline meeting to begin setting up the system to support the implementation and eventual product launch.

 

6. HRIS Integration, Data Conversion, and/or Other Interface Specifications—Using the FAESC Interface Mapping document, the FAESC project team and the First American project team define and document the integration and/or conversion requirements which include: data transfer methods, security options, data file types, naming conventions, frequency of transfers, foundation data loads, updates, mappings, sample data files, and test data loads.

 

7. Configuration Requirements Signoff—Upon finalization and agreement of the configuration requirements between FAESC and First American, the FAESC Implementation Manager will begin the setup of the system configuration requirements. This step will also include the initiation of any technical setup specifications for interfaces/data migrations.

 

8. Configuration Setup—FAESC conducts the setup of the system configuration and involves First American at the appropriate points as needed to assist with the setup. First American is also responsible for system configurations as outlined in the Project Requirements Scope section below.

 

9. Setup of HRIS Integration, Data Conversion, and/or Other Interface—FAESC technical team develops, tests, and runs the scripts to accept and load data. First American technical project team develops scripts to extract data to pass to FAESC. FAESC technical project team loads data, troubleshoots, and re-run data loads until data is approved. Conversely, for any applicable outbound feeds from FAESC, FAESC develops scripts to extract data to pass to First American, who in turn loads data, troubleshoots, and re-run data loads until data is approved.

   First Advantage Approach

 

10. Site Administrator Training—The FAESC Implementation Manager will provide training to the First American identified Site Administrator(s) so that First American can participate in system configuration.

 

11. Quality Assurance Testing—FAESC will complete system testing on configurations related to recruiting workflow and applicable HRIS or other interface points.

 

12. Configuration & Interface (Integration and/or Data Conversion) Validation—First American project team will complete a validation of system configurations after FAESC completes its thorough system testing.

 

13. Instructor-Led Training—FAESC will conduct the specified training program as outlined in the Project Requirements Scope section below. Typically the First American Project Manager (or super-user) also attends these sessions to answer business process specific questions. FAESC will provide First American with standard User Guides. These deliverables serve as training manuals to accompany the onsite training for the HR Users (and Site Administrators) as well as distribution for managers; the user guides are Standard non-customized documents.

 

14. System Delivery—After completing testing and training, FAESC performs a full migration of the system (code, database, configurations) to the First American Production site. Upon completion, your FAESC Implementation Manager will provide supporting data regarding HMS system delivery. Information is provided to outline access to the production site and various cutover activities required by both FAESC and First American in preparation of the system go-live.

 

15. Final Production System Walkthrough—After system delivery, a final system walkthrough with the project team should be performed and any final clean-up items noted for your FAESC Implementation Manager.

 

16. Go-Live—FAESC will be on-call to support the First American launching of FAESC. Working with the First American team, any interfaces and/or final data conversions (if applicable) will be run. At this time, FAESC will transition the day-to-day First American activities from the Implementation Manager to the Client Support team.

 

17. Project Completion Activities—This checkpoint includes various tasks to close out the implementation related tasks. FAESC will provide a final status update to highlight any unresolved issues or items that need to be added to a project roadmap. Additionally, FAESC will send an online Implementation Feedback Survey’ to the First American project team requesting feedback on various aspects of the implementation process.

Estimated Project Schedule

FAESC expects to assign an Implementation Manager resource to the First American project within approximately one week from the signature of the Agreement and SOW and receipt of any payments due pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and/or SOW. First American resource availability permitting, we anticipate completing this implementation within approximately 75-90 calendar days from the Onsite Configuration Meeting.

   Effort, Fees, and Staffing

 

Effort, Fees and Staffing

 

First Advantage Resources

When staffing implementations, FAESC follows specific guidelines in staffing the appropriate, skill-sets and people to the project. This ensures that the project is supported with the appropriate resources throughout the lifecycle of the project. The staffing plan for this engagement includes the following roles:

 

   

Manager of Professional Services: The Manager of Professional Services will have overall responsibility for the project from a FAESC perspective. The Manager will provide guidance and assistance to the project team as needed and will serve as the liaison to other internal FAESC teams.

 

 

 

Implementation Manager: The Implementation Manager will serve as the project manager with day-to-day responsibility for the project from a FAESC perspective. An experienced professional in the recruitment technology implementation field, the Implementation Manager is dedicated to ensuring that configuration requirements and deadlines are met. During the implementation, the Implementation Manager is the central point-of-contact and has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring a successful project. The Implementation Manager also serves to offer advice and direction on configuration requirements and other information that will help your organization best utilize FAESC. Thus, the Implementation Manager will support and contribute to all aspects of the project and provide technical and business value quality assurance. As the project manager, the Implementation Manager is also responsible for managing the change control process and is the first point of contact for any issue resolution.

 

   

Support Specialist: The Support Specialist is part of the FAESC Client Support team and will be the First American main point of contact during the support phase after the initial launch. Although the majority of the responsibilities occur after the go-live date, this resource may be introduced early in the project lifecycle to understand the First American business processes, help understand the candidate application workflow, and to ensure that once live there is a seamless transition from implementation to ongoing support.

 

 

 

Software Engineer: A Software Engineer will be assigned from our Technology team. This role will serve to support the First American technical and HRIS team and FAESC engineering team with items such as HRIS interfaces, other 3rd party interfaces, data migrations, etc. The Software Engineer will ensure that interfaces to other systems and processes are accurately and efficiently reflected in FAESC.

 

   

Trainer: The Trainer works with the Implementation Manager and First American to develop and deliver user training.

   Effort, Fees and Staffing

 

The following table indicates the approximate level of effort to configure various components (features/functions) of the HMS system as listed in the above table.

 

Complexity

  

Definition

  

Approx. Hours
(Per Unit*)

Low    Requires minimal effort to configure or setup, mostly data entry.    ~ <0.25 Hours
Medium    Requires some effort to configure/setup because the data entry may be linked to another system function, there are multiple components for each function, or technical assistance is required.    ~ 0.5-2 Hours
High    Requires complex configuration because one function may be tied to multiple system components which require technical assistance to develop business logic.    ~ 8+ Hours

 

* Per Unit = Measured on a per entry basis for said system configuration

Examples:

Create one Pay Grade = <0.25 hours (Low)

Create one Pre-screening Questionnaire = ~2 hours (Medium)

Create one Branded External Job Board = ~4 hours (High)

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the aforementioned implementation process and site configuration requirements, the scope of this Implementation will include the items below. Note: If an integration or data migration is not explicitly listed then it is not included in the scope of this SOW.

Bi-directional Ultipro HRIS Integration

 

 

 

Requirements gathering, solution configuration, setup, testing, and installation of a bi-directional HRIS integration. This integration will be file-based using an XML, delimited flat file, or Microsoft Excel file that is sent to and/or retrieved from HTTPS on a scheduled basis for both the foundation and new hire data feed. If a real-time solution is required, this integration can utilize web services using SOAP with an XML file (HR-XML for inbound files only). The foundation data feed typically consists of job data (such as title, description, job code, etc.) and organizational data (users, contacts, divisions, departments, locations, etc.) while the new hire feed typically consists of applicant contact data, demographic data, and information about the job for which the applicant was hired.

HRIS Assumptions

The scope and fees for the bi-directional HRIS integration assumes:

 

   

A requirement that all input files will contain one unique identifier which is common to both systems (HMS and First American).

 

   

Require each integration feed to have a separate input file. This means the same input file cannot be shared for two or more integrations.

 

   

Each input file contains only mapped columns.

 

   

The process includes full file replacement.

 

   

Our fees do not include data massaging and clean-up.

 

First Advantage Hiring Management Systems   8


   Effort, Fees and Staffing

 

One-Time Brassring Applicant Data Conversion

 

   

Requirements gathering/data mapping, solution configuration, setup, testing, and installation of a one-time conversion of active candidates to include basic candidate information (ex. name, address, phone number), resumes, open requisitions, and applicant history to be imported into the HMS database from a single First American data source. This data conversion may include the following data sets: Hiring Managers, Jobs/Requisitions, Candidates, Applications (candidates attached to individual jobs/requisitions), and Candidate History.

Applicant Data Conversion Assumptions

The scope and fees for the resume conversion assumes:

 

   

FAESC is not responsible for data cleanup.

 

   

Resume attachments not inclusive of conversion, only fielded database field containing resume text blob.

 

 

 

FAESC will make all reasonable efforts to map and convert relevant recruiting data from 3rd party systems. However, not all data elements may be included in the conversion if there is no related or useful field to map to within HMS.

Cost

FAESC will staff this effort with an Implementation Manager to serve as the project lead/project manager in addition to part time resources as needed. The Services fees related to the delivery of the implementation described herein will be billed on a Fixed Bid basis.

Implementation – fixed bid cost of $89,500

Bi-directional HRIS Integration – fixed bid cost of $12,500

Applicant Data Conversion – fixed bid cost of $17,500

FAESC will staff this effort with the appropriate Trainer to lead and manage the FAESC training. The training services for this implementation total the following fixed bid amount which includes delivery of the training and access to the available online, printable and web-based curriculum:

Training

 

   

HR user training (18 hours) = $4,050

First American is responsible for configuring the system to create forms to gather the any data elements associated with Onboarding forms (e.g. new hire paperwork to be completed). If First American requires that any data elements collected in these online forms need to be exported to generate printable PDFs, then First American will seek an additional SOW (future—date TBD). This process will require a scoping call to determine future Onboarding requirements and will occur after the initial system delivery and go-live.

 

   

First American will provide both sample and full test files for any inclusive interfaces or data conversions during the configuration setup dates outlined in the project plan.

 

   

For any integrations or data conversions included in the scope of this effort, FAESC will conduct 3 test loads of data files/feeds to verify data format and transport as outlined in the project requirements.

 

   

For any integrations of data conversions included in the scope of this effort, FAESC will conduct 1 final production load of data files/feeds.

 

   

For any integrations or data conversions included in the scope of this effort, data from First American will be 95% certified and accurate (per project specifications) on the first conversion test file; data will be 100% certified and clean on the second conversion test file; data will be 100% certified and clean on the third conversion test file; data will be 100% certified and dean on the production conversion file.

 

   

No data segmentation requirements requested by First American; system will utilize core user and permission-based roles configurable by First American.

 

   

Any changes and/or modifications to these project assumptions are not included in our fees.

FAESC and First American will provide adequate and timely support to resolve all issues which are critical to the success of this project.

Change Control

FAESC will initiate change control procedures when deviations to the Project Scope (defined herein) are necessary and/or changes to the Agreement or this SOW are required. Changes will be managed using a change control form to assess any requests for necessity and impact on cost, project timeline or functionality. The process will entail:

1) The First American requestor will complete the change control form (see Appendix).

2) The First American and FAESC Implementation Manager will consult with the appropriate resources to approve or reject the change, and to consider the implications on project cost, timeline and functionality.

 

   

The change control form will be logged in a change control log.

 

   

The impact of the proposed change investigated.

The impact of not performing the change evaluated.

 

   

A response to the proposed change prepared.

 

   

Parties will reach agreement whether the change should be performed and obtain authorization sign-off of the change control form.

3) If the change is not approved:

 

   

The FAESC Implementation Manager and First American Project Lead will discuss and document the issue.

 

   

The proposed change will be re-examined if requested or withdrawn if it is agreed to be non-essential. In the latter case, the reasons will be documented on the change control form.

4) If the change is approved:

 

   

A purchase order will be created by the First American Project Lead.

 

   

Work will begin after the change control form and a corresponding work order have been signed.

 

   

The FAESC Implementation Manager and First American Project Lead will amend, project plans to reflect accepted changes.

 

   

Progress on the change controls will be reported at progress meetings.

 

   

The change control log will be updated with completion dates as occurred.

Note: Depending on the complexity of the change in scope, a new or amended SOW may be necessary in place of the aforementioned change control procedure.
