6. Description of Project and Relevance to this Service Area (include scope, size, cost, etc.)
Through a standard agreement with the State of California Department of Human Resources (Cal HR), CPS
HR operates the Merit System Services program which directly administers, or oversees compliance with,
personnel programs for county social services and child support services programs. Cal HR and CPS HR
work collaboratively and in close partnership to deliver services to our joint clients. MSS currently serves
approximately 62,000 employees in county social services and 7,800 in county child support services
departments throughout Californias 58 counties. Twenty-five counties are Interagency Merit System (IMS)
counties for whom MSS provides direct personnel services such as recruitment and selection, examination
services, position classification, seniority calculation and consulting in compliance with LAPS, federal merit
principles, and county specific rules. Over the last five years, the annual recruitment statistics for the program
have varied widely based upon economic conditions and the supply/demand for labor; the low end of the
annual recruitment range is approximately 400 recruitments and the high end of the range is approximately
1,000. CPS HRs ability to manage the financial and staffing resources of this program reflect the
scalability of our approach to providing these services.
Within MSS, for the IMS county recruitments, CPS HR consultants work with departmental subject matter
experts (SMEs) in those counties to develop recruitment and examination plans, and prepare and post job
bulletins, including customized bulletins for specialized positions. Applications are filed online, and our
consultants screen the applications, develop examinations, and assist the departments with exam
administration. CPS HR then compiles candidate scores and presents the department with a list of eligible
candidates. Our automated systems, and our internal procedures and processes are all compliant with the
merit principles which serve as the foundation for sound and equitable human resource practices. We
encourage you to visit our Merit System Services website at www.mss.ca.gov so you may assess our
capabilities in meeting the recruitment and selection needs of a variety of clients and jobs within local
government. Budget: $1.8M per two-year contract.
