The fee for the full search process is $24,000, payable at the completion of the search. This all-inclusive fee covers professional services and all expenses including consultant's travel, advertising, personality index, intellectual profile, background checks on all finalists, etc. We do, however, acknowledge that different communities have different needs. Therefore, we would be open to discussing options for adjusting the scope of work if needed/desired. If the City chooses to offer a travel stipend or reimbursement for expenses of the candidates, that cost is handled directly between the City and the candidates. DDA HR would be available to provide input and guidance on this item. Full -Service Search Only- If the course of the full -service search process is followed as put forth in this proposal and no candidate is selected, we will repeat the recruitment once at no additional professional fee. The City will only be responsible for paying an expense charge of $5,000. Recruiting local government leaders, such as City Administrators, can be particularly challenging these days due to several factors including demographic shifts, the perception and attractiveness of public sector jobs, compensation and benefits, the political and organizational environment, skills and experience mismatch, changing workforce expectations, and geographic and lifestyle factors. To account for this, DDA HR has guarantees in place to reassure you that we are committed to your satisfaction and confidence in our ability to find the right candidate. Our goal has never changed — do the best job that we can and provide you the best possible candidates. Full -Service Search Only- If a full -service search and scope of work, as laid out in this proposal, is performed and the newly hired City Administrator leaves the organization for any reason within the first 24 months of employment, DDA HR will conduct one additional search without charging professional service fees. The City will only be responsible for paying an expense charge of $5,000.
