. . . Ms. Cynthia Young City of Arden Hills March 3. 2003 Page3 3600 Reference Check After you choose your finalists we will conduct thorough 360' reference checks respecting the fact that a recruited candidate may be interviewing with us confidentially and cannot risk having their current employer becoming aware of their interest in the City of Arden Hills City Administrator position. We coined the phrase '3600' because we endeavor to contact subordinates, peers, supervisors, and other individuals that may know the candidate from various perspectives. The reference checks will be benchmarked against the initial survey results and the position profile that we developed together at the beginning of the search to assure that we are on target. Additionally, we can contract an outside service to verify academic credentials, past employment records, driving records, education, credit standing, and potential legal findings. Outside Testing The final candidate may be evaluated further by an independent outside assessment organization to test the candidate against your position profile and make comparisons to others in the city administration field. The assessment organization can also analyze the candidate's interpersonal management style to validate or challenge the opinions you formed during your interview process. The Offer With your guidance we will prepare and present an offer and negotiate any points of difference on your behalf. We are accustomed to dealing with family issues arising from ajob change: spouse's career, children in school, real estate, etc. We will assist in every way to ensure a smooth transition from the candidate's current position to the City Administrator position with the City of Arden Hills. Follow-Up After the hire, we will remain "on call" to assist you if new issues develop after the candidate has started. We have a 95% success rate vs. an industry average of 77%. Timetable Searches of this kind typically take 60 to 90 days depending on your availability to schedule meetings and interviews. We feel certain that qualified candidates can be presented within 30 days of commencing the search.
