2. Understanding and approach City of Hugo, Minnesota Page | 6 Project milestone Deliverables Timeline Execution of recruitment strategy and candidate outreach − Online data collection and profile development − Development of interactive, searchable applicant database for recruitment of the Finance Director − Baker Tilly performs direct outreach to prospective candidates identified in the recruitment strategy − Utilization of extensive applicant database to identify applications and review applicant pool for competencies/demographics 4-5 weeks Task III. Screening of applicants and recommendation of semi-finalists In Task III the project team, under the direction of Sharon Klumpp and Patty Heminover, will screen the candidates against the criteria within the position and candidate profile and develop a list of semi-finalists for recommendation to the City Administrator. We will then narrow the list to a group of 10-12 semifinalists for review and select finalists on the basis of written candidate questionnaires, early due diligence information, consultant phone interviews and recorded, one-way video interviews. Another unique aspect of our recruitment process is our use of online recorded interviews for the screening process. Responses are timed and questions are not provided in advance. This tool allows our t eam to develop a more comprehensive understanding of each candidate’s ability to “think on their feet,” as well as their personal and professional demeanor. Our team will provide an online link for the City Administrator and designated City staff, as well as others who have input into the hiring decision, allowing them to review and later discuss the recorded responses. This provides your organization with additional candidate assessment tools that can be customized to fit the unique needs of the City of Hugo. Throughout the process, you will have access to our Master Applicant List (MAL), which will provide pertinent data for each applicant.
