Clallam County schedules first-round HR director interviews; staff refining applicant matrix
Summary
The county will hold first-round interviews for the HR director position at the end of the week. Commissioners and staff discussed applicant screening, adding supplemental questions and clarifying the advertised 32-hour workweek to applicants.
County staff updated the Board of Commissioners that first-round interviews for the HR director position are scheduled for the end of the week and that staff are refining the applicant screening process.
"We have HR director interviews first round, at the end of this week. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday," a county official said. Staff reported working with HR to create a formalized matrix that lists the job-spec requirements and supplemental questions to screen candidates more efficiently; they also noted some applicants may not realize the role is a 32-hour-per-week position.
The nut graf: Staff said the application portal (NeoGov) attaches the job description to the application but that some applicants appear to have missed the 32-hour-per-week detail; staff plan to include a supplemental question to confirm applicants understand the hours and are still interested.
Staff said they expect the applicant pool to be narrowed and will return details to the board after interviews.
