Communication and customer service is a priority, as the Bob Hall & Associates team will stay in touch with the City throughout the recruitment keeping them up to date. In the meeting, the search criteria will be determined to help aid the Bob Hall & Associates team in narrowing the search to appropriate candidates based on the specific goals and qualities of the organization.
Outreach and Recruiting
Outreach
Outreach begins with the creation of a job announcement and brochure that will be advertised for the public to see on platforms such as California Police Chiefs Association, PORAC, Public CEO, IACP, GovernmentJobs.com and in Western City magazine. Position-specific job boards will be used as appropriate. We will also utilize social media engagement on LinkedIn, networking with top industry leaders throughout the nation, and personal outreach.
Candidate Identification
Following the creation of the job announcement and advertisement of the position, the Bob Hall & Associates team will actively seek out qualified candidates by tapping into the network of talented prospects both local to California and across the country.

Screening

Initial Research and Interviews
Research will be conducted on top candidates in the form of Internet searches and other public profiles to ensure prospects’ values, experiences, and history match the criteria established by the organization. Following research, preliminary interviews will be conducted via phone, video-conferencing, or face-to-face, depending on candidates’ location.
Selection and Presentation of Top Candidates
Bob Hall & Associates will manage the selected finalist candidates. Top candidates will be presented to the City for consideration to determine which candidates will be interviewed. City will be provided with detailed description of work history and other important information about each candidate prior to selection and scheduling of interviews.
Negotiations
The Bob Hall & Associates team is willing and able to support the City in the negotiation process of the selected candidate’s compensation package.
