Vendor’s Peopleclick Manual
i
1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the District Program Manager Peopleclick Manual is to provide an outline of the Program
Manager’s view of the Peopleclick tool.
ITSA is a contract between the District of Columbia (District) and OST to provide IT staff augmentation.
1.2 Definitions
The following terms are used consistently throughout the manual.
The District is the customer that requires IT staff augmentation.
OST is the Managed Service Provider that manages the IT staff augmentation process between the
District and vendors.
Peopleclick is the partner of OST that provides the Candidate Request Application, a Vendor
Management System.
A Subcontractor is a vendor that provides IT staff augmentation services. Certified Business
Enterprise (CBE) vendors have priority for filling District requests over non-CBE vendors, and must
receive at least 95% of the dollars spent each year on staff augmentation services under this
contract.
Candidates are people who may be submitted by Subcontractors to fill a request.
Resources are Candidates who are engaged to fill a request (also called Engaged Candidate).
Requirements are requests for IT staff augmentation that are entered into the Peopleclick tool and
released to Subcontractors.
1.3 Public Information and Privacy Notice
All data stored in the Peopleclick tool is available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act. It will
be retained in the tool for the term of the contract. Program Managers shall have no expectation of privacy
or confidentiality for data entered into the tool.
1.4 Notational Convention
The following notational conventions will be used throughout the document:
The first instance of an acronym will appear in italic bold.
The OST ITSA project team will be referred to as the “OST team” throughout the document.
The ITSA project will be referred to as the “project” throughout the document.
2
2 Peopleclick Tool
2.1 Logging In
The District will use Peopleclick to manage the ITSA process. This guide has been developed specifically to
assist you in submitting your candidate to the DC GOV ITSA requirement.
Your organization will access the application at the following URL:
https://vms.peopleclick.com
Or they may launch the application from the ITSA Portal URL:
https://itsa.ostglobal.com
Your specific login information, initial passwords and unique organization ID will be supplied to you separate
from this guide by the ITSA Project Team.
2.2 Application Management
Upon execution of the Subcontractor Agreement with the Prime Contractor, a Peopleclick vendor workbook
is completed to initiate setup in the application.
Peopleclick will create up to two users, one of which must be an “admin” user authority, to establish the
vendor’s Peopleclick organization. The “admin” user may create as many vendor users as needed. There is no
limit on the number of vendor users to be created by the “admin”.
New Users: To add “internal” (non-candidate) users to Peopleclick, the admin user should click on:
3
Search, and then select Users:
It is always good practice to search for a user before adding, in case they already exist. If the user you are
adding is replacing someone that is no longer in your organization, search for the person being replaced, and
update their record with the new user’s information. This practice allows Peopleclick to maintain all the
associations the previous person held for the replacement.
Below is sample internal user record, whether adding or updating a user.
4
5
Please fill in the selections illustrated below.
Determine the user’s VMS Authority Level based on the access needed by the user:
VMS User
Authority
Description
Admin
Admin users can change configuration information for their organization. They have the
ability to make additions and changes within the application, such as resetting other users’
passwords, adding users, changing settings, and running report. Admin users can access and
edit every page of the application.
Approve
Approve authority users can access all requirements, candidates and engagements, as well as
timesheets for candidates where they are the Vendor Rep or Contact, but are unable to edit
the configuration settings. A limited number of reports are available for Approve level users
to run.
Create
Create users can view all openings and submit candidates; however they are limited to
viewing only candidates where they are the Vendor Rep or Contact. A limited number of
reports are available for Create level users to run.
Update
Update users can access requirements, however they cannot submit candidates.
View
View users can access requirements, however they cannot submit candidates.
Time Entry
All contractors are set as Time Entry users. Please note, time will be entered into PASS, the
District’s e-Procurement application, and imported to Peopleclick.
To reset a user’s password, simply search for their user record, click on the name to view their record, then
on Change User Password on the left menu. You have two options in changing the password.
Type in a chosen password to both password field, then click Update
Click Reset Password and the system will generate a password and notify the user of the new
password via email. Please note, this option will not work if the user does not have a valid email
address associated to their user record.
If you choose option 1, be sure to notify the user of their new password. With both options, the user will be
challenged upon the next login to change their password.

2.3 Reviewing Requirements
Peopleclick will send vendor internal users (non-candidates) an email notification once a District Program
Manager has released a request for a Resource. Follow the link provided to enter your credentials and then
view the requirement detail that outlines the position details (description, skills, location, etc.).

The Technology Table is located in Appendix A.
In Requirement Detail, take note of the dates. The No New Submittals After date is the response deadline.

Peopleclick will not allow you to submit a candidate with higher rate.

Please pay special attention to the field labeled Level of Urgency, as it refers to the response deadline
needed for your best candidate submission. Please take the time in the response deadline to find your best
candidate, as each vendor is limited to only one candidate submission per opening. Again, this date is

PO.
15
Contractors will enter their time in PASS, the District’s e-Procurement system, by Monday noon of each week
for the previous week’s work. District Program Managers will approve the time in PASS, and then the time
will be exported to Peopleclick for invoicing by the ITSA Project Team. Delays in time entry will result in
payment delays. Time is imported weekly, however the Prime Contractor will pay in 4 week periods (13
times per year).
Please refer to the Subcontractor Vendor Agreement for further invoicing and payment information.
2.7 Managing Engaged Contractors
Delivered Reports: Peopleclick provides several reports to help vendors manage their Candidates and

Delivered Reports icon in the upper left corner of the application.
16
The following reports can be requested (several have date prompts, etc.) and will be emailed to the email
address in your user record.
17
The 4140s Vendor Reconciliation Report with Sales Tax is available for reconciliation of payment based on
the Peopleclick Invoice Number. This number will be provided weekly via a Peopleclick notification from the
ITSA Project Team. You can use this number to generate an invoice for the Prime Contractor. You can also use
this number to reconcile your payments from the Prime Contractor, as they will be invoicing DC Gov, and
paying Vendors on a set schedule that includes 4 weeks (13 invoices a year) of PASS Time Imports. Each PASS
Time Import will generate an Invoice/BEPA (Billing Extract Process Automation) ID. The PASS Time Import
weekending dates, and corresponding Peopleclick Invoice/BEPA ID will be published on the ITSA Portal for
your convenience.
The ITSA Project Team will contact the vendor contact with any issues, extensions, rate changes or
disengagements. Please direct all questions or concerns to the ITSA Project Team.
