Recruitment Procedures, Improvements, and Recommendations The Human Resource Department has been proactively reviewing, assessing and implementing strategies to improve recruitment and selection processes such as:
• When relevant, advertising examination process timelines on the job posting for applicant transparency and advance planning.
• Human Resources, in collaboration with the hiring Departments, conduct promotional recruitments when an internal qualified employee pool is available to assist and support retention efforts.
• Increased advertising efforts have been made by the Human Resources Department to help increase recruitment visibility and attract a higher qualified applicant pool. Specifically, Human Resources staff utilizes social media advertising such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X. In addition to social media advertising, the City’s employment opportunities are advertised on Government Jobs, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter, at no added cost and help increase visibility and outreach.
• Human Resources staff is continually open to collaborating with hiring departments to review and consider new or specialized advertising options to assist in the recruitment process.
