Sheldon City told some early applicants may be out-of-state; pool size varies by community
Summary
The consultant said candidate pools vary by community and wage; in one active search he had three qualified applicants all from out of state, while other recent recruitments produced 9–24 applicants depending on community size.
Council members asked about the candidate pool and where applicants commonly come from. The Presenter said it depends on the community and the wage range, and that in a current recruitment he had three early, well‑qualified candidates who were all from out of state.
He said smaller communities often see 9–12 applicants while some larger jurisdictions attract about two dozen candidates, and recommended targeted outreach to similar municipalities and national professional sites to broaden the pool.
