THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Bob Murray & Associates’ recruiters are specialists in finding positive placements and providing security and fairness to candidates and clients while ensuring the integrity of the search process. Outlined below are the steps in our proven recruitment process, refined through our 34+ years of experience in executive recruiting.
STEP 1 DEVELOP THE CANDIDATE PROFILE
Our understanding of the City of Lomita’s needs will be key to a successful search.
Yasmin Beers, Stacey Stevenson, or Mike Ishii will meet virtually with the City Manager to learn as much as possible about the ideal candidate for the Public Works Director position. We want to become familiar with the values and culture of the organization, as well as to understand the current and future issues, challenges, and opportunities in the City of Lomita.
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will review and help define the City’s wish-list regarding the ideal candidate’s personality, management style, knowledge, skills, and abilities and will work with the City to identify expectations regarding education and experience. The City Manager and Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will discuss compensation, benefits, and other key information necessary to ensure that outstanding candidates are attracted to this opportunity. The profile we develop together at this stage will drive subsequent recruitment efforts.
STEP 2 DESIGN/DISTRIBUTE BROCHURE AND ADVERTISEMENTS
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii and your dedicated Recruitment Coordinator will use the candidate profile developed with the City of Lomita to create a professional recruitment brochure, with the assistance of our professional graphic designer. The four-page, full-color brochure will describe the community, organization, position, ideal candidate, and compensation and will include pictures provided by the City of Lomita that you feel best represent your organization and your community.
Upon your approval, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will send the brochure by email (and postal mail if desired) to a targeted audience, personally inviting potential candidates to apply for the Public Works Director position. We will also place the recruitment brochure on our website, which attracts over 11,000 unique hits weekly and is a trusted resource for candidates seeking executive and professional positions. Two sample brochures are included in this proposal package for your reference.
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will also design an effective advertising campaign appropriate for the Public Works Director recruitment. Our broadest outreach comes through our active social media involvement on LinkedIn as well as our monthly newsletter where upcoming and current positions are featured. Sources such as Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Lomita Page 3 Western City Magazine, PublicCEO, and the Careers in Government website will be used to reach an extensive local government audience, while position-specific postings will be chosen to attract candidates who have built their careers in and are committed to the Public Works Director field.
Suggested Public Works Director-specific advertising sources for the City of Lomita’s search include:
American Public Works Association (National and California chapter) National League of Cities
League of Women in Government
California City News
Society of Women Engineers
Bob Murray & Associates does not typically place ads with job aggregators or general job posting sites such as CareerBuilder, Monster, or Indeed, as we have found that the broad reach of these sites does not necessarily lead to quality candidates for executive and professional positions.
Reaching Diverse Candidates
Bob Murray & Associates, a woman- and minority-owned business, is proud of its commitment to attracting and placing diverse candidates. Nearly 50% of our last 100 placements were women; Hispanic placements 25%; African American placements 13%; Asian placements 21%; and Native American placements at 1%. Not only do we place advertisements with websites designed to attract minority and female candidates, but our President, Valerie Phillips, is a member herself of many diversity-focused organizations including the Local Government Hispanic Network, the League of Women in Government, the Professional Women’s Network, Mexican Professionals, and Women Leading Government. She networks frequently with fellow members to gain insight into which potential candidates are leaders in their field.
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will seek to reach candidates in communities and organizations with demographic profiles and populations served like that of the City of Lomita, to maximize the potential for individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences to be considered for the Public Works Director position.
STEP 3 RECRUIT CANDIDATES
The strongest candidates are often those who are successful and content in their current positions and need to be sold on a new opportunity. Our extensive network of contacts, developed through over 2,100 successful placements, is a primary source for identifying and obtaining referrals for these candidates. Our in-house database of 40,000 current and former executive and professional candidates is a valuable resource that can only Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Lomita Page 4 be built over time—time that we have invested into perfecting our process for finding the right candidates for our clients. Our aggressive outreach efforts are focused on phone calls to personally invite potential applicants, answer questions, and allay any reservations, and these efforts are essential to the success of the Public Works Director recruitment.
STEP 4 SCREEN CANDIDATES
Following the closing date for the recruitment, Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will screen all resumes we have received, using the criteria established in the candidate profile as a basis upon which to narrow the field of candidates. Internal candidates receive sensitive consideration, and Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will discuss with the City Manager how the City of Lomita wishes to proceed with these candidates.
STEP 5 CONDUCT PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will personally interview the top 10 to 15 candidates from the resume screening, with the goal of determining which candidates have the greatest potential to succeed in your organization. To reduce travel-related expenses to our clients and increase efficiency in the search process, these interviews are typically conducted via Zoom, Teams, or other convenient videoconferencing applications.
STEP 6 SEARCH PUBLIC RECORDS
Under the direction of Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii, your dedicated Recruitment Coordinator will conduct a review of published print and online articles for each recommended candidate. Sources include Lexis-Nexis™, Google, social media, and our contacts in the field. This will alert Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii to any further detailed inquiries we may need to make before our recommendations are finalized.
STEP 7 MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our findings during the preliminary interview process, Ms. Beers, Ms.
Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will meet with the City Manager virtually to share the complete applicant list and recommend a limited number of candidates for your further consideration. Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will make specific recommendations and will help facilitate discussions regarding the candidate pool, but the final determination of interviewees will be up to you.
We typically recommend 6-8 candidates that we feel best match your expectations and prepare a detailed report on each candidate. This virtual “Recommended Finalist” eBook is provided to each member of the decision-making body and includes:
Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Lomita Page 5 Candidate list with Recommended Finalists identified in Group 1 and Group 2 (primary and secondary recommendations), as well as Internal candidates Summary of experience and education for each Recommended Finalist candidate
Complete cover letter and resume for each Recommended Finalist candidate List of Other Applicants (those who did not meet minimum qualifications or were otherwise unsuitable, based on our screening process)
Bob Murray & Associates maintains all search records for a period of seven (7) years following each recruitment, and we are happy to forward cover letters and resumes for each applicant by postal mail or email as soon as the recruitment closes to new applications.
STEP 8 FACILITATE PANEL INTERVIEWS
Our years of experience will be invaluable as we help you develop an interview process that objectively assesses the qualifications of each candidate. We will work with the City of Lomita to craft and implement an interview approach that fits your needs. This may include panel and/or individual interviews by the City Manager; employee interview panels; writing and presentation samples; or other specialized process elements Ms.
Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii helps the City of Lomita to design.
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will be present on-site during the panel interviews to facilitate as necessary during the process and to guide discussion to consensus regarding final candidates. Bound interview books will be provided for each interview panel member containing:
Recruitment brochure with candidate profile
Interview schedule
Suggested interview questions
Experience summary, cover letter, resume, and rating form for each candidate
Ranking forms for use during the panel interview process We will work closely with your staff to coordinate and schedule interviews. Our goal is to ensure that each candidate has a positive experience, as the way the entire process is conducted will influence the final candidates’ perception of your organization.
STEP 9 CONDUCT BACKGROUND AND REFERENCE CHECKS
Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii and your Recruitment Coordinator will conduct detailed reference checks for up to two (2) final candidates. To gain an accurate and honest appraisal of the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses, we will talk candidly with people who have direct knowledge of their work and management style. In addition to Bob Murray & Associates Proposal for the City of Lomita Page 6 gaining a 360-degree view of candidates from the perspective of their supervisors, subordinates and peers for the past several years, we will make a point of speaking confidentially to individuals who may have further insight into a candidate’s abilities but who may not be on their preferred list of contacts.
Your Recruitment Coordinator will work with the final two (2) candidates and our professional backgrounding firm, HireRight, to conduct credit, civil litigation, and motor vehicle record checks and verify candidates’ degrees.
STEP 10 ASSIST IN NEGOTIATIONS
We recognize the critical importance of successful negotiations and can serve as your representative during this process. Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii knows what other organizations have done to put deals together with great candidates and what the current market is like for Public Works Director positions in organizations like the City of Lomita’s. Ms. Beers, Ms. Stevenson, or Mr. Ishii will be available to advise you regarding current approaches to difficult issues, such as housing and relocation. We will represent your interests and advise the chosen candidate and you regarding salary, benefits, and employment agreements, with the goal of putting together a deal that results in the appointment of your chosen candidate. With our proven experience and vested interest in a positive outcome, we can turn a very difficult aspect of the recruitment into one that is straightforward and agreeable for all parties involved.
COMPLETE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE

Throughout the recruitment, in time intervals that suit the City of Lomita, we will provide you with updates on the status of the search and attend to all administrative details on your behalf.
