Our extensive experience in providing executive recruitment services <br />to cities, counties and other public-sector organizations in Minnesota and throughout the region will be <br />beneficial for this recruitment and allow us to find the ideal candidate for the City of Little Canada. <br /> <br />We know that you have options for using other recruitment firms. However, we believe that our approach <br />sets us apart from our competitors in the following unique ways: <br />• If selected as an option, our web-based survey can be used to determine the key community-wide <br />issues and priorities that are essential considerations for the City and the selection committee to <br />consider. This survey is completed by the City’s employees, community leaders and citizens and <br />would alter the estimated duration of the project timeline. The results of the survey will provide <br />the City Council with important feedback for development of the profile for the ideal candidate; <br />• Management/Leadership Style Assessment Analysis completed by the candidates to determine if a <br />candidate’s management style matches the approved management/leadership style profile for the <br />ideal candidate; <br />• Video candidate interviews through a proprietary system will be made available to the Mayor and <br />City Council to assist in the selection process; and <br />• Utilization of a proprietary online application system exclusively licensed to Springsted | Waters <br />(S|W) to facilitate talent management. The system has been designed by S|W to customize <br />applicant flow and tracking. It allows ease of communication with applicants and the ability to <br />conduct database inquiries for candidates based on characteristics important to the City such as <br />geographic location and specific experience, expertise and qualifications.
