SECTION. II METHODOLOGY & TECHNICAL APPROACH WCG will then prepare a list of those preliminary candidates appearing to have the desired qualifications for consideration by the City. This preliminary group of candidates will form the pool for subsequent steps in the process. wce; will meet with the City Council to discuss the preliminary pool of candidates prior to moving forward. The second part of the screening process will involve conducting interviews with the potential finalists, The purpose of these conversations will be to gather additional information about the candidates' background and experiences, Since resumes are only brief summaries of a candidate's qualifications, these interviews are a key part of the process in identifying a [mal group of candidates for the City to interview. Our in-depth interview includes a dlOrough question and answer format lasting approximately one hour per candidate and resulting in a written report. (An example may be found in the Appendix Section of this proposaL) Each interview session begins with our customized background questions and progresses into position specific job-related questions, These questions are developed as a direct result of our interviews with City Council Members and dIe resulting Profile. After completion of the interviews, wce; will prepare a preliminary rcport of candidates to the City Council describing the potential finalists in greater detail. A meeting will be scheduled with the City Council to discuss the next step in the process as well as the group of initial candidates for which a detailed background investigation and reference checking process will be conducted.
