Overall, the City continues to attract applicants from all demographic backgrounds. Actions have been taken to improve recruitment and retention of employees such as, but not limited to, increasing the minimum entry wage, conducting market studies to improve pay competitiveness, providing hiring incentives and extending other benefits like paid maternity and parental leave. In closing, there continues to be a focus on removing bias from the hiring process by the use of diverse panels, including in many cases, others outside of the hiring department to be a part of the interview process. The candidate pools, as well as the results of each recruitment, are always reviewed by Human Resources. The City will continue in its efforts to find the best candidates for each position through a competitive process, hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of the community, and remove bias from the selection process.
