('" RalphAndersen ... & Associates Sample Search Work Plan This section describes the steps that would be used in this search for the new City Manager for the City of Paris. Each search is individualized to meet the specific needs of the organization. Pre-Search Planning - Review Project Management Approach The search consultant will meet with the Acting City Manager, Human Resources staff and oth- ers as appropriate to discuss the project management for the search. The discussion will include a review of the work plan, confirmation of timing and communication methods, e.g., the point of contact for the consultant during the search. Task 1 - Develop Position Profile The position profile for the City Manager is the guide for the entire search process. The devel- opment of the profile includes the collection of technical information and recruitment criteria. Technical Information Mr. Rohre will meet with the City Council, Acting City Manager, Human Resources Di- rector and other key staff as may be necessary. The purpose of these meetings is to gain an understanding of the experience and professional background requirements desired in the City Manager. These meetings will also help the search consultant gain an under- standing of the work environment and the issues facing the City of Paris and its munici- pal culture. Recruitment Criteria The recruitment criteria are those personal and professional characteristics, experiences and credentials desired in the City Manager. The criteria should reflect the goals and pri- orities of the City of Paris. The search consultant will facilitate the identification and ar- ticulation of those criteria, including the review of previously utilized search profiles. Subsequent to the development and adoption of the candidate profile, the technical in- formation and recruitment criteria will be documented in an information brochure pre- pared by the search consultant. The brochure will be reviewed by the City in draft format, revised as appropriate and published for use throughout the search. S c r ,.
