Personnel committee to launch headhunter RFP for city manager search
Summary
The Charles Town personnel committee approved posting a request for proposals to hire a headhunting firm to assist the city manager search, targeting an electronic posting on the 12th and paper notice on the 13th, with review the week of March 31.
The Charles Town personnel committee agreed on a plan to issue a request for proposals to hire a recruiting/headhunting firm to support the city manager search. Chair (S3) opened the special personnel meeting by confirming the search is the single agenda item and that the committee had already received three applicants, then turned the discussion to Cindy (S4) to review an RFP draft.
Cindy told the group she had contacted firms to learn about services and costs and said, "It's about $35,000." Members debated how long to leave the solicitation open (two to three weeks) and the publication channels: Cindy proposed posting electronically on the 12th and in the paper on the 13th. The committee agreed to convene a personnel special meeting on March 31 to review proposals and expect to make an award or recommendation to council in early April.
The committee tasked the personnel subgroup to conduct the RFP review and recommend a firm to the full council; if the personnel committee could not reach consensus, the recommendation would be forwarded to council for final approval. Cindy agreed to circulate the materials and vendor information to committee members once the RFP is published.
