City of Elk River • Page Four Assessment (No additional fee) The Brimeyer Group has the authorization and the ability to administer an assessment tool entitled "The DiSC Behavioral Management System" designed to assist individuals in understanding their style and to assess the environment in which they operate most effectively. The finalist candidates will be provided with a questionnaire from which an extensive computer report is generated. The report is very specific and covers the following areas: 1. Internal motivation 2. Self-management strategies 3. Identification and management of conflict The City will learn insights into the strengths, weaknesses, and likelihood of success for each final candidate before hiring and how to best manage and work effectively with each candidate. The above assessment is available at the option of the City. Client Interview and Selection Process • The interview schedule will allow the candidates to get acquainted with the community and community leaders and visit with the staff on an informal basis. We culminate the process with individual and group interviews. Prior to the interviews we will provide the interviewers with some helpful material on interviewing techniques and will discuss the proposed procedures to be used in the selection process including an evaluation form and a list of questions for possible use by the interviewers. Extensive material including background and reference checks will be provided on each candidate prior to the interview. If possible, all interviews will be scheduled within a period of one to two days depending upon the desire of the City. A consultant will be present at each interview. Selection After the interviews we will meet with the City Administrator and Councilmembers to review the individual ratings and assist in determining the top candidate. The consultant will assist in this process to the extent requested by the City. We take responsibility for notifying all unsuccessful candidates at each stage of the process. Negotiating Compensation Package The Brimeyer Group, Inc., will take great care that the City of Elk River secures an acceptance from the most desired individual. We will recommend a compensation package calculated to attract the finalist and will participate in the final negotiations. If any concerns arise in the • final hour, by working as a third-party intermediary we can resolve important details of the offer which may have significant bearing on its final acceptance or rejection.
