City of Little Canada, MN. Proposal to Provide Executive Recruitment Services. 4 To prepare the recruitment brochure, the Recruitment Project Team Leader will come on site to meet with the Mayor, City Council and designated staff to discuss the required background, professional experience and management and leadership characteristics for your City Administrator position. We meet individually (or collectively depending upon your preference) with the Mayor and City Council to broaden our understanding of the position’s leadership and management requirements, current issues, strategic priorities and to identify expectations for the City Administrator. [See example of a recruitment brochure in Appendix I.] The Recruitment Project Team will also work with the City of Little Canada to develop an advertising and marketing strategy to notify potential candidates about the vacancy and conduct an open recruitment that encourages applications from a talented and diverse pool of candidates. Our Team will place ads in appropriate professional publications, websites and local print media, if required. Additionally, S|W has a highly-accessed website that has a special location attracting many potential candidates to upload their resumes. The aggressive advertising and marketing campaign for top talent will include national, state, regional and local elements as determined during our initial meetings with the City’s representatives. Our customized mailing list, selected from our extensive database and contacts collected at appropriate public- sector conferences, will be utilized to further promote the position.

However, if a potential candidate is presented with the opportunity directly and in the proper manner, he or she may apply. We take pride in our ability to locate highly qualified candidates across the nation based on the professional contacts and relationships we have developed and maintained over many years.
