City of Mounds View Page Four Review Resumes and Screen Candidates Numerous prospects will be screened against the Position Profile. From these individuals we will compile a broad list of prospects for the job. An initial confidential telephone contact will be made to promising candidates to determine their suitability and interest. After our research and sourcing is completed, several qualified candidates emerge for evaluation and comparison. Thorough, intensive, one-on-one interviews will be conducted with the leading candidates by our staff. Our in-depth evaluation and appraisal techniques will cover issues such as work experience, education, professional development and achievement, career objectives, accomplishments, suitability, and specific interest in the City of Mounds View position. Progress Report Following the screening and evaluation, we will prepare a Progress Report which will provide information on 10-12 candidates who have been judged to meet or exceed the requirements of the position. This Progress Report will provide specific information on the individual's educational and work history; accomplishments and growth potential; strengths and possible limitations. We will personally deliver and review these reports with the City Council. On the basis of this review, 4-6 candidates will be selected for further consideration. At this time we will propose a schedule for interviewing the candidates. PHASE III Background Checks Prior to the interviews, we will investigate the backgrounds of the most promising candidates through discreet telephone and personal reference checks. We will talk with peers and former associates of these prime candidates. It is our practice to speak directly with individuals who are, or have been, in positions to evaluate the candidates' job performance. We will verify the finalist candidates' credentials through an educational, criminal, and credit check. Assessment (optional) The Brimeyer Group has the authorization and the ability to administer an assessment tool entitled "The DiSC Behavioral Management System" designed to assist individuals in understanding their style and to assess the environment in which they operate most effectively. The finalist candidates will be provided with a questionnaire from which an extensive computer report is generated. The report is very specific and covers the following areas: 1. Internal motivation 2. Self-management strategies 3. Identification and management of conflict
