Common use of The Search Process Clause in Contracts

The Search Process. A standard search process takes 12- to 14-weeks to conduct, and the candidates would most likely begin employment with the agency four weeks later (16- to 18-weeks in total or approximately four- to five-months). While we will customize the search and project schedule to fit the specific interests and needs of the City of Westlake Village and it will be necessary to work around the upcoming 2020 holiday season, the search process typically includes the following steps: We will request a conference call with you and/or the appropriate City staff person(s) to discuss the process, listen to specific desires and expectations, and respond to any questions or concerns. We will discuss expected parameters of the search, the search timeline, and schedule future meeting dates. During this phase of the process, we will also discuss and determine with the City Manager the extent of involvement of other individuals in the search process. In this phase of the process, we will also discuss with the City Manager the finalist interview process and the various components to be considered. Furthermore, during this phase, we will request information relating to compensation and benefits, organization charts, and budget data. In addition, we will request high-resolution photos to be used in an attractive brochure to market the opportunity. ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will provide recommendations on best practices. Please note that decisions on the extent of involvement of others as well as additional components to the finalist interview process will impact the search, search timeline, and ultimately the cost of the recruitment process. Development of Candidate Profile (on-site or virtual meeting #1) – This step provides for the development of the Candidate Profile that will serve as a guide in the identification of potential candidates, outreach and recruitment efforts, screening and selection of your next Planning Development Director. The Candidate Profile includes information relating to the City of Westlake Village; current and future issues and opportunities; expectations, goals, and objectives leading to the success of the new Planning Development Director; and the background and experience, leadership style, skills and abilities, and personality traits of the ideal candidate. Your Recruiter, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, will develop this profile following individual conversations with the City Manager, as well as individual or group discussions with the City’s leadership team and other individuals identified in the initial conference call (see Project Organization above). Again, these discussions may include other individuals or community stakeholders as requested by the City Manager. Based on our experience, we recommend a group meeting with the executive staff team. While our proposal includes up to 2 days to develop the Candidate Profile, we are currently conducting a majority of outreach meetings via Zoom or telephonically due to COVID-19. A draft of the Candidate Profile will be provided to our point of contact for review. We ask that all revisions and corrections be provided to us in a timely manner in order to maintain the agreed- upon search timeline. Our marketing and design professional will then prepare an attractive marketing brochure incorporating the Candidate Profile. Upon completing the Candidate Profile, the brochure will be distributed to up to 500 identified industry professionals, posted on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ website, and provided to the City for posting. Advertisements will be placed in the appropriate industry publications and websites, and our firm will assume responsibility for presenting your opportunity in an accurate and professional manner.
