PROJECT SUMMARY-
We recommend a five-step process as follows:
0 Develop job qualifications and requirements for the position—the recruitment profile.
Identify and recruit qualified candidates.
Evaluate prospective candidates.
Make recommendations, help in selection and facilitate employment.
Establish evaluation criteria and follow-up.
Each step of this process is described below.
A. the Rkq ltment Pr ye
We will meet with the Mayor nor and City Council members individually and coixecbvely and with staff if the City
Council wishes)to learn the City{s needs,focus and requirements such as experience,education and training
as well as preferred management and personal traits. In developing the recruitment profile,we will spend
a oonsiderable amount of time at the beginning of the process in Fort Worth to gather additlenal 1nformation
about the City and to ascertain, the unique challenges of the job and the general environment within which
the position functions.
Once we have wined the necessary information,we will prepare a draft recruitment profile and review Stith
the City Council to arrive at a general agreement regarding the specifications for the position. The final profile
will include information abcwt the Dallas-Fort Worth 1 etroPlex region, the City of Fort Worth, the City
government, the new City Auditor position, major issues to be faced, the position and the selection criteria
established.
B. IdenW Qualffied Can dlda es
We will first review our database to find those candidates whom we may already know and/or already have
on file who may meet your specifications. Although the above process is valuable, we will rely most heavily
on our own contacts in related fields and on our own n experience. In other words,through networking, we will
conduct a professional search for the best-qualified candidates and invite therm to apply for the position. In
this effort,we utilize appropriate professional organizations.,our established contacts, and our knowledge of
quality jurisdictions and their employees.
We will prepare and place advertisements in professional publications. We will acknowledge a all resumes
received and thoroughly screen all potential candidates.
C. Evaluate Precfre Candidates
Preliminary Screening and Progress Report
Criteria for the preliminary screening will be contained in the approved recruitment profile. They may include
such items as education, technical knowledge, experience, accomplishments, management style, personal
traits,etc. screening of candidates against those criteria will be based on data contained in the resume and
other data provided by the candidates and on our knowledge of the organizations in which they work. At this
stager each must meet the minimum qualifications specified in the recruitment prole.
We request that all candidates provide us,in writing,substantial information about their accomplishments and
their management style and philosophy. This information is verified arid, at the City's option, may be further
tested by having the finalists respond to a supplemental questionnaire and/or complete management and
leadership style inventories. We interpret these instruments for the City as well.
We will meet with the City Council to provide a progress report on a number of semifinalist candidates.These
individuals will be top prospects who clearly meet the Cit s specifications for the position. With guidance from
Prepared far the CITY of FORT WORTH, TEX4 by Slavin Management Consultants
the city Council, we will narrow the semifinalist candidate group on the basis of refined criteria. During this
meeting we will determine city's expectations relafive to intervie r questions that we will write as well as the
candidate rating and scoring processes which will be included in our final report.
D. SelegLon and EmploVmen t
!n-depth Screening and Final Report
At this point:we will interview those semifinalist candidates whom the City has the greatest interest in. Proper
"fit"is as important as technical ability. vie assess both. In order to better assess candidates'management
style and interpersonal characteristics,we personally interview each in his or her present work environment.
We will closely examine each candidate's experience,qualifications, achievements, management style and
interpersonal skills in view of the selection criteria and our professional expertise in evaluating the quality of
such qualifications, skills and achievements.
We conduct in-depth background checks on those individuals who continue to demonstrate their overall
suitability for the position.i ncluded are detailed and a ctensive reference checks which cover a minimum period
of tern years- In conducting these, it is our practice to speak directly to individuals who are now or have been
in positions to evaluate the candidate's job performance. We ask each candidate to provide us with a lame
number of references. We then network these references to other persons who know the candidate. In this
way, we thoroughly evaluate each candidate. These references and evaluations are combined to provide
frank and objective appraisals of the top candidates.
As part of our evaluation process we conduct credit checks and verify undergraduate and graduate college
degrees.We also conduct criminal history,civil court records and driving record checks. AttheCiysoption,
we can arrange for assessment centers and/or psychological or similar testing of the candidates. These
optional items will result in extra cost.
We wili then meet with the Mayor and City council to present a group of well-qualified finalist candidates for
interviews in Fort Worth. These final candidates will not be ranked because, at this point, they will all be
qualified and it will then be a matter of chemistry that should produce the final selection decision.
Our final report will be presented in a meeting with the Mayor and City Council. This written report is a
comprehensive document. It contains our candidate recommendations, details about the search, interview
Ups, interview questions, candidate evaluation forms and information about legal ors. illegal inquiries. The
report also includes the candidate interview schedule as well as our recommendations relative to timing,
sequencing, location, setting, format, and conduct of interviews. The report contains comprehensive
information about each recommended candidate. This includes educational and experience information, an
evaluation of the candidate's a perience relative to the criteria established by the City,a su mmary of reference
comments and a statement of accomplishments and management style prepared by the candidate. Present
compensation is also provided for each recommended candidate.
We will provide information about treads in employment, employment contracts and agreements, relocation
expenses,perquisites,appropriate roles for spouses,receptions,etc. We arrange schedules for top candidate
interviews with the City and we will coordinate the entire process.
We will properly handle any and all media relations. Unless otherwise directed, it is our standard practice to
tell all",media that we are working on behalf of the City of t=ort forth and that any public statement should
come from the City directly. Under no conditions will we release information to the media unless specifically
directed by the City to do so.
W e will notffy all unsuccessful candidates of the final decision reached. Finally, will continue to work for the
City until a suitable candidate is recruited and hired by the City.
