<br />Sample Search Work Plan <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Task 3 - Identify Potential Candidates <br /> <br />This task will be conducted following the application closing date. It includes the following spe- <br />cific activities: <br /> <br />Screening <br /> <br />All of the applications will be carefully reviewed. Those that meet the recruitment criteria <br />and minimum qualifications will be identified and subject to a more detailed evaluation, <br />This evaluation will include consideration of such factors as professional experience and <br />size and complexity of the candidate's current organization as compared to the candidate <br />profile. <br /> <br />Preliminary Reference Review <br /> <br />The search consultant will conduct preliminary reference reviews for those candidates <br />identified as the most quaJified as a result of the screening process. Direct contact will be <br />made with references to learn more about the candidates' experience, past perfonnance <br />and management style. <br /> <br />Conduct Interviews <br /> <br />The search consultant will conduct interviews with the top group of candidates (approxi- <br />mately eight to ten) identified through the screening and preliminary reference review <br />processes. The interviews are extensive and designed to gain additional infonnation about <br />the candidates' experience, management style and "fit" with the recruitment criteria. <br /> <br />The screening portion of the candidate evaluation process typically reduces a field of ap- <br />plicants to approximately eight (8) to ten (10) individuals. Those individuals will be re- <br />viewed with the City Council and staff prior to proceeding with the individual interviews. <br /> <br />Task 4 -Background Investigations <br /> <br />After completing Task 3, the search consultant will conduct background investigations. Verifica- <br />tions will be made on the top candidates and will include education verifications, Department of <br />Motor Vehicle check, wants and warrants, news databases, civil and criminal litigation search <br />and credit check. Detailed reference calls will be made both to listed and non-listed references. <br />The reference calls will be based on specific search criteria derived ITom the search profile. The <br />results ofthese verifications will be discussed with the City Council at the appropriate time. <br /> <br />Task 5 - Face-to-Face Interviews <br /> <br />If opted by the City, the consultant will conduct face-to-face interviews with candidates during <br />the screening and background check phase of the search. The consultant will review the locations <br />of the candidates with the City and receive approval for such travel in advance. <br />
