ExecutiveSearch | 7 <br /> <br />A successful search has a thorough definition and agreement by <br />the Mayor and City Council on each aspect of the position. <br />During this initial phase, our consultants will meet collectively <br />and individually with the Mayo r and City Council members, <br />Department Directors and Managers, and key staff to learn <br />more about your goals and objectives.Critical factors to be <br />determined include position respons ibility and authority; reporting <br />relationships; educational and experience requirements; personal <br />and leadership qualities; and management style. We will <br />carefully review your expectations and provide industry tested <br />feedback. We will discuss pay expectations, the available talent <br />pool, organization fit, and others that come up during the profile <br />formation. <br />Anorganizational review andCity Manager search should be a <br />coordinated process whose elements happen together. The <br />information from the organizati onal review /assessment is <br />essential for the successful recruitment of the new City Manager. <br />The same analysis becomes the foundation for a plan of action for <br />the new City Manager once they start. <br />We will pay considerable attention to establishing organizational <br />goals and priorities for the position. The identification of <br />priorities serves a two-fold purpose: it assists the hiring authority <br />in developing a consensus on what is important for the <br />organization and it alerts poten tial candidates to the important <br />issues of the organization. <br />After drafting the Profile, we will meet with the Mayor and City <br />Council as a group to discuss the critical specifications of the <br />position. A great deal of emphasis placed on the agreement of <br />this analysis. Without this information, it is difficult to determine <br />how potential candidates will affect the City’s plans and <br />organizational team. The final Position Profile, after approval by <br />the Mayor and City Council, becomes the document against <br />which we evaluate prospective candidates. <br />Establishing and <br />Evaluating Expectations <br />Organizational study <br />Coordinated with <br />Manager Search <br />Position Profile – <br />Recruiting Brochure
