Council hires search firm to lead administrator recruitment
Summary
McCormick County Council approved engaging a professional recruitment firm to manage the search for a new county administrator, citing the firm’s experience placing local government administrators and planned citizen input during the finalist stage.
McCormick County Council voted to retain a recruitment firm to assist in the search for a new county administrator.
Council discussed difficulties in recruiting county administrators and said the selected vendor (identified in the meeting materials and referenced as an experienced county executive search firm) will handle outreach, application review and initial screening. The firm will present recommended candidates to council; the council said finalists will participate in local meet‑and‑greets and public interviews to allow citizen input before a final selection.
Councilors said the firm comes with positive references from other counties and the South Carolina Association of Counties. The motion to retain the firm passed by voice vote; council did not disclose contract dollar figures in the meeting minutes recorded in the transcript. Staff will return with a contract and timeline for the recruitment process.
