(PT!). We invite you to visit our web site at www.pargroupltd.comforadditional information on The PAR Group and its consulting staff. Tailored Search Process Our executive search process is highly professional and personalized. We will assist Paris Officials from commencement to conclusion of the assignment, until a completely acceptable Candidate is appointed to the position. We handle all of the administrative details of the entire recruitment process, so City Officials can limit their involvement to the significant, decision-making aspects of the selection process, thus mininùzing interruption of attention to other on-going concerns and responsibilities. Our initial effort in assisting the City of Paris would be to develop a Recruitment Profile that sets forth detailed qualifications for the position under recruitment, reflecting both current and longer range organizational expectations relating to the position. The Profile serves as a key instrument for recruiting and screening Candidates in accordance with the unique needs identified as particularly desirable forthe position. Our executive search process would be as follows, subject to mutually agreed upon modification: 1. Interview appropriate City elected and appointed Officials, Department Heads, and key Staff, all toward achieving clarity and consensus concerning the specific nature of duties, responsibilities and expectations of the position. Interview data will be used to prepare a Recruitment Profile for approval by City Officials (Sample Recruitment Profile enclosed), During our on-site interview activities we devote significant effort to become knowledgeable and familiar with the municipal organization, community institutions and leadership, gain a sense of the city as a place to live and work, understand intergovernmental activities/ relationships, take note of cultural and socioeconomic diversity, and other efforts, all to clearly understand and be able to straightforwardly present prospective Candidates (and their families) with information having an important bearing on their decision to consider the Paris position. If desired, we shall be pleased to conduct focus group sessions, comprised of community leadership and citizenry, in an expanded effort to determine input and feedback from such persons for inclusion in the draft Profile prepared for review, amendment, and ultimate approval; this service/ assistance would be provided for an additional fee. 2. Conduct an intensive independent professional search and recruitment effort, utilizing an extensive local, regional and national contact network, seeking out qualified Candidates who may not otherwise have an interest in your recruitment. 3. Place announcements in appropriate professional publications and on the internet to provide maximum exposure of the position's career opportunity and to ensure an open recruitment process. 4. Process all applications received from recruitment and announcement efforts, including timely acknowledgments of receipt of application and status of recruitment information to all Applicants, on behalf of the City. .
