We also maintain open and professional communication with the applicants to keep them informed about the status of the search and their candidacy for the position and to track developments in their job search activities. Cost to include this step in the process: $1,500 5.Applicant Screening —Applicant screening is based on position requirements and hiring criteria established by the City in the position description and position profile. Once we have identified the top candidates, we ask them to complete a questionnaire that addresses their professional and personal qualities so we can assess their fit with the characteristics identified in the position profile. Along with substantive information provided in the answers to the questions, we evaluate the candidates’ writing and comprehension skills. Once that is complete, we conduct telephone screening interviews with the top candidates to expand upon each candidate’s background and experience, particularly in those areas important to the City. We determine the candidate’s level of interest and motivation for seeking the position. We identify the candidate’s management and leadership style and learn about their personal experiences and professional expectations for the position. 6.List of Top Candidates —We meet with the City Council to present the written candidate reports and a list of the top candidates. Each candidate report includes a summary of the screening interview and relevant information from an Internet search and the candidate’s resume and completed questionnaire. The City Council selects the candidates who will be invited to interview. In a professional and respectful manner, Springsted informs all applicants of their status in the selection process, in particular those that are not moving forward to the interview stage. 7.Reference Checks — We contact references and provide a thorough reference outline for each candidate participating in the interviews. It is our practice to contact at least four references per candidate: an elected official, a professional peer, a direct report and a community member. We believe that a more comprehensive reference profile can be compiled if we seek input from a representative of each of these areas. Cost to include steps five through seven in the process: $6,000 8.Background Check, Employment Offer and Goals — We retain Richard Setter and Associates to perform a thorough background records check, which includes state and national criminal and civil history, driver’s license review, educational verification, a credit check and a review of social media activity. The timing is coordinated with the hiring decision and is typically completed prior to making an offer to a candidate. To date, there has not been an ethical issue with any Springsted placement. We will assist the City Council in developing an employment offer and, if requested, present the compensation package to the successful candidate in accordance with direction received by the Council.
