I. WBCP CAPABILITIES
Recruiting Services You Can Rely On.
WBCP provides a comprehensive recruiting package using recruitment best
practices, integrated marketing and communications strategies and
established connections and resources, to target specific audiences, bring in
ideal candidates and strengthen your employer of choice brand.
RECRUITMENT STRATEGY
The executive search strategy that follows describes four phases of WBCP's
recruitment process.
PHASE
Client & Stakeholder Interviews
It is highly recommended that Client and/or Search Committee, and other
stakeholders identified by the Client, be involved in the initial and final phases
of this recruitment. These are critical phases with regards to obtaining a clear
sense of the priorities for this recruitment and the selection of the ideal
candidate.
WBCP will meet with various stakeholders as warranted by the Client and the
level of the position in the organization. These meetings will allow WBCP an
opportunity to gather information, gain knowledge about the organization,
community and unique aspects of the recruitment to design the ideal
candidate profile, marketing materials, and marketing plan.
Feedback Outcome / Timeline Development
Following the Client/stakeholder meetings, WBCP will develop a detailed
timeline for the recruitment, which will be customized for this recruitment after
Phase I. The timeline and ad plan will be reviewed and approved by the Client
prior to execution.
O
WBCP
Creative Development
Immediately following the Client feedback activities, WBCP will draft the
competencies for the recruitment and recruitment brochure copy for the
Client's review. This information will summarize what was learned from Client
related interviews.
PHASE II
Marketing Strategy and Implementation
WBCP will execute a customized marketing plan, which could include the
following and will be customized based on information gathered in Phase I:
Online Advertising — Including associations, public sector and diversity job
boards targeted to our ideal candidate. Specifically for this recruitment we will
also consider public works specific job boards and lists.
i= -Direct Mail Advertising — including WBCP's current database of potential
applicants, public sector lists, and current information technology networks.
Head Hunting
WBCP will contact individuals targeted and generate new contacts through
referrals made by respected sources. WBCP is also a Linkedln Recruiter and
has access to over 107 million Linkedln users in the US; 350 million users
globally. WBCP will access potential Linkedln candidates via detailed search
options to identify ideal background, geographic location, technical expertise
and experience.
Hours
WBCP invests the necessary time to generate outstanding candidates, and
deliver excellent customer service, and will not limit our time to specific hours
on this project.
O Z
WBCP
Communication with Clien'
Depending upon the wishes of the Client, WBCP can provide regular updates
on the progress of the search. While some clients prefer not to hear from us
until the recruitment is closed, other clients desire weekly e-mail or phone call
updates. We tailor our communications in accordance with individual client
needs.
PHASE III
Resume Assessment
WBCP will review resumes as they are received, a final detailed review of
each resume and any supplemental documentation submitted will be
conducted immediately following the closing date of the recruitment. Those
candidates determined to be the most highly qualified will be selected for a
screening interview.
Screening Interviews
WBCP does not restrict the number of candidates to be screened. Rather, we
interview every candidate who meets our Client's criteria and frequently this
group amounts to 15 - 20 candidates, or on average 20% of the applicant
pool.
Report to Cliei
Following the completion of the screening interviews, WBCP will develop a
report of our recommended short list candidates. This report will include:
resumes, cover letters and a one-page profile summary of candidate's
professional history, including a brief overview of WBCP's assessment and the
results of their phone interview.
To determine candidates we will invite to interview, WBCP will meet with the
selection committee/hiring authority. In this meeting we will review the results
of the recruitment, discuss recommended candidates, determine which
candidates will be invited to interview, and review the recruitment plan for the
final stages of the selection process.
O 3
WBCP
Communication with Candidates
Throughout the entire recruitment, WBCP will take responsibility for
communicating with the applicants/candidates during each phase of the
search process. In addition, the Client should refer any inquiries from
potential or existing applicants directly to WBCP during the engagement.
PHASE IV
Jon Process
WBCP will design and administer an appropriate final selection process based
on the needs of the Client. WBCP will facilitate the invitation and coordination
of these meetings/interviews.
WBCP provides additional assessment tools/recommendations such as
interview questions, writing and presentation exercises, problem solving
scenarios, etc. We will tailor assessments to best meet the Client's needs.
WBCP will facilitate interviews and panel deliberation.
Background & References
Following the interviews and the Client's top candidate(s) selection, WBCP will
assist the Client with facilitating a thorough background and reference check.
A typical approach includes a review of federal, state and local criminal
background check and academic verification by a licensed background
agency. Reference checks are conducted over the phone by a WBCP senior
consultant and a final report is provided to the Client.
Negotiations
Once the client reviews and is comfortable with the findings in the reports,
WBCP is available to assist with negotiations on compensation, benefits, start
date and other transition details.
