I I III. Search MethodologylWork Plan The following search methodology has been refined over the past 10 years until is it is virtually foolproof and has been used in all of our searches. We can also modify it to integrate your ideas into the process. Our goal is to provide you with the opportunity to obtain the information you need to make the right decision. Phase I: Information Gathering Task One: Needs Assessment An important part of the recruiter's work is selling the community to the very best candidates (including those that are not actively looking for the next job) while also providing an accurate portrayal of the environment. In order to do this CB&A must first determine the needs of the client and the characteristics of the ideal candidate. To do so, we: · Compile background information from the jurisdiction's website and other sources, · Interview the appropriate governmental officials. Our goal is to develop a strong sense of your community, its expectations, its challenges and its leadership, · Determine the characteristics of the ideal candidate These will likely include experience, longevity, education, personality, demeanor, and achievements as well as other items the elected officials and stakeholders consider important), and · Determine a reasonable compensation package. We also want to finalize the timeline for the recruitment so that candidates can mark their calendars well in advance and will be available when the City conducts its interviews. If the City wishes, we will incorporate meetings with members of the community to gather their insights. These can be very valuable as they provide additional points of view and a better understanding of the elements of the community. In a sense, they help us develop an understanding of the community's tapestry. Phase II: Recruitment Task Two: Develop Recruitment Materials CB&A will next develop a comprehensive recruitment profile. It will be a well-written, substantive synopsis of what we have learned and presented in an attractive but not glitzy manner. We will provide a draft for your review and comment. Your suggestions will be incorporated, and the final recruitment profile will be used in our recruiting efforts. Samples of our work can be found on our firm's website under the "Active Recruitments" tab. More elaborate promotional materials can also be found at: httf)://www.cb-asso.comls r.html. -11-
