A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued to solicit responses from interested firms to perform executive search services in the recruitment of various management positions on an as-needed basis.
The firms were asked to demonstrate to the City the qualifications, competence, and capability to identify, screen, and recruit. The selected firms will utilize their experience and knowledge of executive searches to translate the City’s needs into a detailed recruiting profile of the position and environment, and then to encompass a nationwide search.
The evaluation committee evaluated and ranked the written proposals based on the following criteria: 30 Points - Qualifications and experience, 25 Points - Rates and expenses, 30 Points - Methodology, including technical approach and understanding of the scope of work, and 15 Points - References.
The following firms submitted proposals and were rated according to the above criteria;
