Sample Search Work Plan Page 2 Compensation The Consultant will provide the City Council and staff information concerning compen- sation of City Managers in benchmark communities and make a recommendation con- cerning a compensation range and employment parameters for the new City Manager of Paris. Task 2 - Outreach and Recruiting This task is among the most important of the entire search. It is the focus of the activities of the search consultant and includes specific outreach and recruiting activities briefly described below. Outreach An accelerated outreach and advertising campaign will be developed, It will include the placement of ads in publications such as ICMA Newsletter, TML Classifieds On-Line, other state munieipal league newsletters, Public Sector Jobs Available and other profes- sional publications. Specific Internet sites related to government will be used, including Careers In Government and the web sites of national and state associations, as a method of extending the specific outreach in a short period of time. Additionally, the advertisement and the full text of the position profile (the recruitment brochure) will be placed on Ralph Andersen & Associates' home page on the World Wide Web (Internet), which is accessed by a large number of qualified candidates. This method of outreach to potential applicants provides a confidential source that is moni- tored by many key level executives on an on-going basis. Candidate Identification Ralph Andersen & Associates will use their extensive contacts to focus the recruiting ef- fort. In making these contacts, the search consultant will target those individuals who meet the criteria set by the City. Each of the candidates identified through the recruiting efforts will be sent an information brochure. Candidates will also be contacted directly to discuss the position and to solicit their interest in being considered. Both the outreach and recruiting activities will result in applications and resumes from in- terested candidates. As they are received, resumes will be acknowledged and candidates will be advised of the general timing of the search process. The following tasks involve the actual selection process, once all resumes have been received. Candidate Diversity Ralph Andersen & Associates has an exemplary record of including women and minority candidates in candidate pools and in the placement of diverse candidates. A full listing of such placements is included as an appendix. We fully understand the importance of pub- lic organizations reflecting the communities they serve.
