Proposal to the City of Santa Ana <br />Executive Recruitment Services far City Manager <br />Phase 111- Selection <br />Task 1 - Design Selection Process <br />Based on the results of the meeting conducted in Phase I, CPS HR will design a draft selection <br />process. CPS HR will meet with the City to review this process and discuss the City's preferred <br />approach in assessing the final candidates. The selection process will typically include an in-depth <br />interview with each candidate, but may also include other selection assessments such as an oral <br />presentation, preparation of written materials, and/or problem -solving exercises. <br />Task 2 - Administer Selection Process <br />CPS HR will coordinate all aspects of the selection process <br />for the City. This includes preparing appropriate <br />materials such as interview questions, evaluation <br />manuals, and other assessment exercises; facilitating the <br />Interviews; assisting the City with deliberation of the <br />results; and contacting both the successful and <br />unsuccessful candidates. <br />Task 3 —Final Preparation for Appointment <br />Following the completion of the selection process, CPS HR will be available to complete the <br />following components: <br />IN Arrange Follow-up Interviews/Final Assessment Process: Should the City wish to arrange <br />follow-up interviews and/or conduct a final assessment in order to make a selection, CPS <br />HR will coordinate this effort. <br />IN Conduct In -Depth Reference Checks: The in-depth reference checks are a comprehensive <br />360 evaluation process whereby we speak with current and previous supervisors, peers, <br />and direct reports. (It is our policy to not contact current supervisors until a job offer Is <br />made contingent upon that reference being successfully completed so as not to <br />jeopardize the candidates' current employment situation.) The candidates are requested <br />to provide a minimum of six references sources. CPS HR is able to ascertain significant, <br />detailed information from reference sources due to our assurance and commitment to <br />each individual that their comments will remain confidential, which leads to a willingness <br />to have an open and candid discussion, resulting in the best appointment for the City. A <br />written (anonymous) summary of the reference checks is provided to the City. <br />M Conduct Background Checks: We will arrange for a background records check of a <br />candidate's driving record, criminal and civil court, credit history, education, newspaper <br />article publishings, and other sensitive items. Should any negative or questionable <br />content appear during these checks, CPS HR will have a thorough discussion with the <br />finalist(s) and will present a full picture of the situation to the City for further review. <br />CPS HR .::,_..CONSULTING Page 17 <br />
