The Human Resources Department in Massachusetts is seeking proposals for a cloud-based applicant tracking and onboarding system. This system should offer comprehensive features to support HR processes, including tools for job posting approval and distribution via built-in or integrated services. Additional essential capabilities include candidate application upload, review, and tracking, as well as integrated candidate communication—such as the ability to send bulk communications.

The platform must facilitate hire approval tracking, generation and management of electronic offer letters, and completion of electronic contracts and payroll/onboarding paperwork. Reporting functionality is required to provide insights into posting and recruitment metrics. Technical requirements specify that the system must be mobile responsive for all users, WCAG 2.2 compliant for accessibility, and must deliver robust security and data protection. Vendors should offer direct customer service and technical assistance to both agency staff and job applicants, as well as clearly outline system implementation processes.
