. w � � ' Mr. �Charles L. Phillips Page. Fi ve After we have interviewed each semi-final candidate, we condense the candidate list to five to six finalists and conduct thorough references on their backgrounds, abilities, and management styles. At this time we also verify academic and professional credentials of the final candi- dates. * RECOMMENDATION OF FINALISTS TO CLIENT: At the conclusion of our inter- views and after conducting sufficient references to confirm our find- ings , we would meet with the City Manager or other representatives of the City of Decatur to recommend final candidates. The recommendation meeting can be conducted in person or by telephone depending on the wishes of the client. After discussion, if the client agrees with our recommendations, Jensen-Oldani & Associates will provide detailed written evaluations of the candidates which address issues identified in the recruiting specification. In this report, we include confidential reference summaries which focus on job-related issues. A sample of a typical candidate evaluation, reference reports and aca- demic verification have been included as an enclosure to this letter. * CLIENT INTERVIEWS AND SELECTION PROCESS: Each client has a unique interview and selection process. These could include individual inter- views, panel interviews, use of selection committees or assessment centers, psychological testing or a combination of selection components. We would work closely with the City of Decatur at the start of the search to design the process which will be used for final selection interviews and during this phase of the search will play a major coordi- nating role. We participate in final interviews as either an observer or active panel member at the request of the client and are available to answer questions and assist in final selection and evaluations. Although negotiations with the selected candidate are the responsibility of the City of Decatur, we can help to establish the framework of nego- tiations by clearly identifying issues and requirements of the employ- ment relationship. If requested, Jensen-Oldani & Associates will become an active participant in negotiations. Jensen-Oldani & Associates is also responsible for notification of all unsuccessful applicants at each stage of the process. GUARANTEE: Our record of success in public sector searches is such that we are confi- dent in assuring our clients that should the selected candidate be termi - nated for cause or resign within one year, we would conduct a replacement search at no charge other than di rect, pre-approved expenses provi ded the City of Decatur requests such a process in writing within 45 days of the resignation.
