Final interview process Upon completion of Task IV, we will work with the City Administrator and/or his designee to develop the final interview process, including the use of virtual platforms as requested. We customize the final interview process according to the needs and functions of the position and according to your preference, instructions, and directives to include steps that are important to you, our client. As such, the final interview process may include meetings with the department heads and technical experts, as requested by the City. In advance of the interviews, we will provide documentation on each of the finalists which will provide the highlights of their leadership/management profile (Gap Analysis) as well as a summary of the results of the reference checks, background checks and academic verifications. In addition, the Final Report will include guidelines for interviewing the candidates, suggested interview questions and a candidate assessment process for your interview panel(s). The project team co-leaders will be available during the final interview process to answer questions about the candidates and, if requested, assist with the final evaluation of the candidates. In addition, we will assist you with the development of a compensation package and related employment considerations and assist with the negotiation of an employment agreement.
