A solid and effective advertising strategy will help to ensure that the City conducts an open recruitment. Waters-Oldani is committed to making sure that the City of Paris meets its commitment to ensure against discrimination in employment practices on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, gender or religion. TASK II - RECRUITMENT STRATEGY AND IDENTIFICATION OF QUALITY CANDIDATES Once the profile for the new City Manager has been established, Waters-Oldani will implement the campaign to address prospective candidates on a national, regional, in-state and local basis (as determined). Using the information provided by the profile developed in Task I, Waters-Oldani will seek to identify individuals who would be outstanding candidates for City Manager for the City of Paris. Often, potentially well-qualified candidates are not actively seeking new employment and will not necessarily respond to an advertisement. However, if a potential candidate is presented with the opportunity directly and in the proper manner, he or she may apply. We take pride in our ability to locate quality candidates across the nation based on our professional contacts and relationships. In addition, Waters-Oldani will send direct informational mailings to key associations and municipal organizations throughout the nation. During this assignment, we will use our knowledge of local government to identify and contact individuals who may be candidates or who may know of potential candidates. Waters-Oldani has reliable contacts from coast to coast. We will contact individuals identified as potential candidates to discuss the career opportunity presented by the City. The objective of this effort will be to identify highly qualified individuals, and then to interest these potential candidates in submitting a resume for the City's consideration. Waters-Oldani Executive Recruitment keeps appropriate records to ensure compliance with legal requirements throughout the recruitment process. We have established networks with minority and female leaders throughout the nation and are proud of our record of placement of qualified minority and female candidates. Waters-Oldani Executive Recruitment has adopted a corporate policy of equal employment opportunity and will not participate in any recruitment effort where these principles are not followed. Organizations such as the City of Arlington and the City of PIano, Texas; the City of Oakland, California; and various departments of the City of Seattle have exclusively used our services in finding diverse candidate pools as we have been able to produce significant results for them. Our record of combined successful placements of candidates from affected classes from our public sector recruitments is in excess of 40%. In addition, we are charter members ofNFBPA and their Business Advisory Committee and the Hispanic Network. (GJ 2007-The Waters Consulting Group, Inc.
