SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR RECRUITMENT
1875 PROCESS
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the City's hiring process to recruit for the newly created
Environmental Services Director position. Human Resources (HR) is committed to hiring talented and
diverse individuals and desires a workforce that reflects the community we serve. The City's recruitment
efforts seek to be inclusive so that all individuals have equal employment opportunities. The City's goal is to
conduct an extensive and nationwide search for the organization's next strategic individual to lead the
Environmental Services department.
Recruitment Process
The HR department sought proposals from multiple executive recruitment firms to conduct the search for
the Environmental Services Director. HR extended the opportunity to ten (10) executive recruitment firms
and received six (6) proposals. Following the initial review, the HR department submitted all proposals to
the respective Assistant City Manager for review and consideration. In partnership with HR, the City selected

Now through December 2023, the City and CPS HR Consulting will discuss the overall recruitment strategy,
ideal candidate qualities, key departmental projects and initiatives, advertisement sources, including the job
