<br />IL What Sets Colin Baenziger & Associates Apart <br /> <br />Since 1996, Colin Baenziger & Associates (CB&A) has developed an extensive municipal <br />practice. The key element is executive search and our first client was the City of Lauderdale <br />Lakes, FL, in 1998. Briefly, we believe that the City would be wise to select us because: <br /> <br />Experience and Approach <br /> <br />· We recruit nationally, but our recruiters focus on specific regions. As a result, we are <br />extremely knowledgeable of these areas and it shows in our success. <br /> <br />· Our lead recruiter is Colin Baenziger. He has served as a City Manager and an elected <br />official for a community of 22,000. He can thus relate to both appointed and elected <br />officials and speaks their language. Tom Andrews is the former county manager for <br />Fulton County, GA, and Ann Arundel County, MD. Dave Collier has served as a city <br />and county manager in Florida, Kansas and Michigan. Ron Stock has served as a City <br />Manager and City Attorney. Merv Timberlake is the former Finance Director of <br />Blacksburg, VA, and Boca Raton, FL. <br /> <br />· CB&A knows many of the country's professional managers personally. We have an <br />extraordinary talent for determining who fits well in which situation and who does not. <br /> <br />· We tailor our approach to the community. Once we fully understand the elected body, <br />the community and the issues, we aggressively seek the candidates who are right for you. <br /> <br />· We can move quickly. Utilizing a true executive search approach, as we did in <br />Manalapan, we can have a short list of candidates within two to four weeks. <br /> <br />· The caliber of our work is better. Because we have not conducted hundreds of searches <br />and we depend on word of mouth advertising, our reputation is critical to us. <br /> <br />· We continue to work with you after the position is filled. If issues arise six or twelve <br />months later between the employee and employer, we will assist the parties in working <br />through them at no additional charge. <br /> <br />· We are less costly, and not because we do less. In fact, we do much more than our <br />competitors. We have focused our efforts on minimizing our overhead. We simply do <br />not have the expenses other firms do, and we can pass the savings on to you. <br /> <br />· We are very adept at working with the electronic and print media. Should the City wish, <br />we are very comfortable serving as its media spokesperson for the search. <br /> <br />· Finally, although we move quickly, we do not rush the process. We carefully evaluate <br />every potential candidate, scrutinize background information, and make sound <br />recommendations to the client. <br /> <br />-8- <br />
