STEP 4: INITIAL SCREENING AND REVIEW DDA will complete a comprehensive analysis of every application received and determine approximately 10-12 semifinalists based on job related criteria to complete a video interview. Our clients have most notably been pleased with the video interview component of our process. Video interviews allow our clients to determine whether they see the candidate as a good prospect for a final interview and gain additional insight on the candidate's education, experience, personality, as well as their ability to think on their feet, all of which has been said to help lay the foundation for the final interview process. Access to, and viewing of, this information is as simple as clicking on a link from the individual client's laptop, phone, or smart device in a location and at a time that is convenient for them. Candidates are considered public once they are chosen as a finalist. Each semifinalist would also complete an information disclosure and a work -related personality index. About one week prior to selecting finalists for interviews, the information disclosure, video interview, personality index, cover letter, and resume from each of the semifinalists will be made available to the City for viewing. This will allow the City ample time to comprehensively review candidates prior to determining who to bring in the for the final interviews. Upon reviewing this introductory material, DDA will then assist the City in selecting its finalists for final interviews. After the City selects finalists, those not selected as finalists will be notified by DDA. Deliverables: ■ List of approximately 8-12 semifinalists with cover letter, resume, and video interview ■ Results of personality assessment ■ Results of information disclosure that provides insight about conduct that could be viewed as impacting one's ability to perform the requirements of this leadership role ■ Confirm interview schedule and logistics ■ DDA will contact those not selected STEP 5: SELECTION After the finalists are selected, DDA will complete comprehensive background screenings including criminal history, civil court history, verification of education, driver's license review, credit check, and other items. Along with background checking all finalists, DDA will conduct character references with current and former supervisors to discuss various work responsibilities, projects, initiatives, leadership style, personality characteristics, etc. Please note that the law enforcement specific background process will be needed on the selected candidate. In addition, DDA will administer an intellectual profile measuring verbal reasoning, mathematical and logical reasoning, and overall mental aptitude. Approximately one week prior to the final interview process, the Council will have access to each of the candidate's application materials, video interview, background check results, reference information, information disclosure, a work personality report, and an intellectual profile on each person. Early in the search process, Pat will discuss interview possibilities including leadership staff participation or virtual and/or in -person options for community involvement through a meet and greet event or interview panel, stakeholder interviews, individual and/or full Council panel interviews, a community tour, lunch with organization leadership, or other functions. Prior to interviews, Pat will prepare questions and then facilitate all interviews and other activities the Council determines appropriate. Our goal is to make the process smooth and painless so the Council can focus all its energy on finding the right person for the job and minimize staff disruptions to ensure the organization can focus on the tasks at hand.
