<br />3 <br /> <br />Depending on the position and its key stakeholders, PDI has <br />convened panels of direct reports, employee representatives, <br />and community representatives. <br /> <br />Finalist Assessment <br /> <br />After the decision makers have chosen finalists, PDI utilizes a variety <br />of methods to gain additional information regarding the candidates' <br />capabilities. This combination provides decision makers with a higher <br />degree of security and confidence regarding their choice. The goal of <br />selection is "no surprises." <br /> <br />The most powerful of these is PDI's management assessment process. <br />Individuals come to one ofPDI's 13 U.S. offices and participate in a <br />full day of interviews, tests and inventories, and simulations designed <br />to reveal information regarding their managerial capabilities, <br />interpersonal style, problem-solving ability, etc. <br /> <br />In addition, PDI is prepared to conduct additional inquiries to obtain <br />external information regarding the candidate. These include: <br /> <br />. Press searches <br />. Primary and secondary reference checking <br />. Background investigation <br /> <br />All of this information is then forwarded to the decision makers, <br />enabling them to make more confident, informed choices. <br /> <br />Hiring Negotiations <br /> <br />PDI is prepared to negotiate with the chosen candidate regarding <br />conditions of employment, contract, etc. Through communication <br />with the hiring authority and the candidate, PDI can help facilitate a <br />working relationship that meets the needs of all parties. <br /> <br />Six-Month Performance Review <br /> <br />As part ofPDI's responsibility, we would engineer a six-month <br />performance review of the new City Administrator, which includes <br />the following components: <br /> <br />. Input from City Council/Town Board <br /> <br />. Input from key staff <br /> <br />. Summary and collation of results <br /> <br />. Presentation ofresults to the City and City Administrator <br /> <br />This process allows for early "course corrections" if needed, helping <br />to ensure success for the individual and the City. <br /> <br />Copyright cg 2007 Per::;onnel Decisions International <br />All Rights Reserved <br /> <br />11/21/2007 <br />
