Clear Career Professionals offers lower‑cost 12‑week search, emphasizes candidate outreach and recorded interviews
Summary
Clear Career Professionals pitched a small‑team model promising national outreach, weekly candidate engagement and recorded semifinalist interviews; the firm quoted an all‑in fee of $22,000 and said it typically aims for a 12‑week schedule from contract to finalist identification.
Michael, who identified himself as a co‑founder and the lead recruiter, presented Clear Career Professionals’ approach to the council and described a recruitment model built around retired municipal professionals, active outreach and media promotion.
Michael said the firm combines targeted phone outreach to roughly 200 city managers with social media, podcasts and direct invitations. He described recorded 30‑minute interviews of semifinalists that the council can review, three to four finalists for on‑site interviews, and an inclusive fee structure. "Our total net cost for this repair is $22,000 all in," Michael said, adding that travel and survey costs were included in the price.
During Q&A he said the typical timeframe to bring finalists was about 12 weeks and that background checks and deep dives into social media are done at different phases depending on client preference. Michael emphasized candidate relationship management — weekly calls and direct responsiveness — and said his firm aims to be accessible to council and staff during the process.
