THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS •
Bob Murray & Associates' unique and client oriented approach to executive search will
ensure that the City of Rosemead has quality candidates from which to select the new City
Manager. Outlined below are the key steps in our recruitment process.
STEP 1 DEVELOPING THE CANDIDATE PROFILE
Our understanding of the City of Rosemead's needs will be key to a successful search. %
We will work with the Mayor and City Council, as well as other key stakeholders, to
learn as much as possible about the organization's expectations for a new City ij
Manager. We want to learn the values and culture of the organization, as well as to
understand the current issues, challenges and opportunities that face the City of
Rosemead. We also want to know the Mayor and City Council's expectations
regarding the knowledge, skills and abilities sought in the ideal candidate and will
work with the City to identify expectations regarding education and experience.
Additionally, we want to discuss expectations regarding compensation and other
items necessary to complete the successful appointment of the ideal candidate.
The profile we develop together at this stage will drive recruitment efforts.
STEP 2 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AND RECRUITMENT BROCHURE
After gaining an understanding of the Cini of Rosemead's needs, we will design
an effective advertising campaign appropriate for the City Manager recruitment.
We will focus on professional journals that are specifically suited to the City-
Manager search. We will also develop a professional recruitment brochure on
the Mayor and City Council's behalf that will discuss the community,
organization, position and compensation in detail. Once completed, we will
mail the profile to an extensive audience, making them aware of the exciting
opportunity with the City of Rosemead.
STEP 3 RECRUITING CANDIDATES
•
After cross-referencing the profile of the ideal candidate with our database and
contacts in the field, we will conduct an aggressive outreach effort, including
making personal calls to prospective applicants, designed to identify and recruit
outstanding candidates. We recognize that the best candidate is often not looking �j
for a new job and this is the person we actively seek to convince To become a
candidate Aggressively marketing the City Manager position to prospective
candidates will be essential to the success of the search.
STEP 4 SCREENING CANDIDATES

received. We will use the criteria established in our initial meetings as a basis upon which to
narrow the field of candidates.

motivation for applying for the position and make an assessment of his/her knowledge,
skills and abilities. We will devote specific attention to establishing the likelihood of the %

recommended candidate. Various sources will be consulted including Lexis-

detailed inquiries we may need to make at this time.

and personal interviews with candidates, we will recommend a Whited number j
of candidates for your further consideration. We will prepare a detailed written

public record searches. We will make specific recommendations, but the final
determination of those to be considered will be up to you.
STEP 8 FINAL INTERVIEWS

process that objectively assesses the qualifications of each candidate. We will
adopt an approach that fits your needs, whether it is a traditional interview, 'I

suggested interview questions and rating forms and will be present at the
interview/assessment center to facilitate the process. Our expertise lies in
facilitating the discussion that can bring about a consensus regarding the final

subjects of detailed, confidential reference checks. In order to gain an accurate and honest
appraisal of the candidates' strengths and weaknesses, we will talk candidly with people /
who have direct knowledge of their work and management style. We will ask candidates /
to forward the names of their supervisors, subordinates and peers for the past several
years. Additionally, we make a point of speaking confidentially to individuals who we
know have insight into a candidate's abilities, but who may not he on their preferred
list of contacts. At this stage in the recruitment we will also verify candidates'degrees.

your representative during this process. We know what other organizations have
done to put deals together with great candidates and will be available to advise
you regarding current approaches to difficult issues such as housing and
relocation. We will represent your interests and advise you regarding salary,
benefits and employment agreements with the goal of putting together a deal
that results in the appointment of your chosen candidate. Most often we can
turn a very difficult aspect of the recruitment into one that is viewed positively
by both you and the candidate.

updates on the status of the search. We will also take care of all administrative
