<br />Available, and other professional publications. The Consultant will make use of specific Internet <br />sites related to government, including Careers In Government, as a method of extending the <br />outreach in a short period of time. <br /> <br />Additionally, the advertisement and the full text of the recruitment brochure will be placed on the <br />Consultant's home page on the Internet for access by candidates. <br /> <br />Candidate Identification <br /> <br />The Consultant will use its extensive contacts to focus the recruiting effort. In making these <br />contacts, the Consultant will target those individuals who meet the criteria set by the City Council. <br />The Consultant will send a recruitment brochure to each of the candidates identified through the <br />recruiting efforts. The Consultant will contact candidates directly to discuss the position and to <br />solicit their interest in being considered. <br /> <br />Both the outreach and recruiting activities will result in applications and resumes from interested <br />candidates. As they are received, the Consultant will acknowledge resumes, and will advise <br />candidates of the general timing of the search process. <br /> <br />Task 4 - Candidate Evaluation <br /> <br />This task will be conducted following the application closing date, once all resumes have been received. It <br />includes the following specific activities: <br /> <br />Screening <br /> <br />The Consultant will carefully review all of the applications, and will identify those that meet the <br />candidate profile, for a more detailed evaluation. The detailed evaluation will include <br />consideration of such factors as qualifications and professional experience as compared to the <br />candidate profile, and the size, characteristics and complexity of the candidate's current <br />organization and community as compared to the City organization and the San Marcos community. <br /> <br />Preliminary Reference Review <br /> <br />The Consultant will conduct preliminary reference reviews for those candidates identified as the <br />most qualified as a result of the screening process. Direct contact will be made with references to <br />learn more about the candidates' experience, past performance, and management style. The <br />screening and preliminary reference review portion of the candidate evaluation process is expected <br />to reduce the field of applicants to approximately eight to ten individuals. <br /> <br />Conduct Interviews <br /> <br />The Consultant will conduct interviews with the top group of candidates (approximately eight to <br />ten) identified through the screening and preliminary reference review processes. The interviews <br />will be extensive and designed to gain additional information about the candidates' experience, <br />management style, and "fit" with the recruitment criteria and the City organization and San <br />Marcos community. <br /> <br />2 <br />
