, � . . - Mr. Charles L. Phillips Page Two We believe one of the primary reasons for our success in the public sector has been our thorough approach to conducting a search assignment and the realization that each organization is unique. We have developed a process which emphasizes the development of a recruiting specification as a criti- cal component of the search and one which provides for open, candid discus- sion between our firm and the client to ensure we have a full understanding of the dynamics of the organization prior to evaluating and presenting candidates. Our process is specifically designed to serve the openness required in the public sector and yet preserve the confidentiality of the candidates to the maximum extent possible. RECENT LAW ENFORCEMENT SEARCHES: Jensen-Oldani & Associates has conducted several searches in the public safety field during the past three years. Recent searches which demon- strate our capability in recruiting include: * Director, Fire Protective Services - State of Washington * Director, Clark Regional Communications Agency (EMS) - Clark County, Washington * Fire Chief - Boise, Idaho * Police Chief - Little Rock, Arkansas * Police Chief - Austin, Texas * Police Chief - College Station, Texas * Police Chief - Midland, Texas * Police Chief - Plano, Texas * Police Chief - Bellevue, Washington * Sheriff-Director of Public Safety - King County, Seattle, Washington * Director, Adult Detention - King County, Seattle, Washington As indicated on the enclosed listin of ublic sector assi nments our firm 9 P 9 � has demonstrated experience in recruitments at executive levels throughout the nation. ROLE OF THE SEARCH FIRM: Jensen-Oldani & Associates has developed a philosophy of public sector search which is centered around the concept of expert technical assistance. The client plays an active and ongoing role in the search process, and is the final authority in the evaluation and selection of candidates. We utilize our experience in executive search, our knowledge of the market- place, and our skills in recruiting and evaluation of candidates to ensure the best possible pool of candidates is identified for each position; how- ever, we feel it is imperative that the client have maximum input through- out the entire process, not just the beginning or the end and we have designed our process around that concept.
