The simple DDA HR online application process will be used. This system enables us to efficiently manage applicant flow, and corresponding reference information, and allows us to communicate with each applicant quickly and effectively. We are known for our communication with both the applicant and our client which engages and informs both parties of each step. Additionally, our system also allows us to access, review, and evaluate thousands of prior applicants who may not be actively seeking a job but who may be open to the "right opportunity." Deliverables: ■ Advertising outreach begins with posting on identified websites and social media platforms. ■ Direct contact through established professional networks. ■ We utilize our database of identified prospective candidates to contact via email or phone call. STEP 4: INITIAL SCREENING AND REVIEW DDA HR will complete a comprehensive analysis of every application received and determine approximately 8- 12 semifinalists based on job related criteria and desired attributes to complete a video interview. Our clients have most notably been pleased with the video interview component of our process. Video interviews allow our clients to gain additional insight on the candidate's education, experience, personality, as well as their ability to think on their feet, all of which has been said to help lay the foundation for the final interview process. Access to, and viewing of, this information is as simple as clicking on a link from the individual client's laptop, phone, or smart device in a location and at a time that is convenient for them. Candidate confidentiality when the Council is deliberating is maintained by assigning and referring to each semifinalist candidate as a number. Each semifinalist would also complete an information disclosure (any personal or professional incidents that could be viewed as reflecting negatively on job performance, qualifications, ethics, or other factors) and a Work Personality Index Select (assesses the personal characteristics and tendencies that influences an individual's job performance). For more information about the Work Personality Index Select, see Addendum B. About one week prior to selecting finalists for interviews, the information disclosure, video interview, personality index, cover letter, and resume from each of the semifinalists will be made available to the Council for viewing. This will allow you ample time to comprehensively review candidates prior to determining who to bring in for final interviews. Upon reviewing this introductory material, DDA HR will then assist the Council in selecting its finalists for final interviews. After the Council selects finalists, those not selected as finalists will be notified by DDA HR. Candidates are considered public once they are chosen as a finalist Deliverables: ■ List of approximately 8-12 semifinalists with cover letter, resume, and video interview. ■ Results of Work Personality Index Select. ■ Results of information disclosure. ■ Confirm interview schedule and logistics. ■ DDA HR will contact candidates not selected as finalists. STEP 5: SELECTION After the Council selects finalists, DDA HR will complete comprehensive background screenings including criminal history, civil court history, verification of education, driver's license review, credit check, and other items. Along with background checking all finalists, DDA HR will conduct character references with current and/or former employers to get a good understanding of each candidate's role and responsibilities, performance and strengths, leadership and management style, communication and interpersonal skills, community engagement, areas for improvement, and overall fit. In addition, DDA HR will administer an Intellect Profile which measures CITY OF CENTERVILLE I City Administrator Recruitment
