Please see the attached proposal to assist the City of Elk <br />River with recruitment of its next Police Chief. Review and let me know if you have any questions. I know that law <br />enforcement has a more rigorous background and psychological assessment and DDA Human Resources, Inc. would not <br />be able to complete that part of the hiring process. If I recall correctly, that is typically done through the County Sheriff's <br />Office. We would be happy to help coordinate that with the County if that is the process. Please note the timeline is <br />pending the availability of your council members and typically gets finalized at the time of approving the Profile. <br />DDA, Human Resources has a very thorough process which includes meeting individually with the Council members and <br />staff to identify the desired qualities and preferred background experience, advertising through numerous venues and <br />reaching out personally to individuals through Linkedln, phone calls and a -mails to identify individuals with a background <br />matching your ideal candidate. Once applications are in DDA, Human Resources provides the Council with quality <br />information on each candidate at each stage of the recruitment process as the Council narrows the applicants to those <br />deemed to be the best fit for the City. Throughout this process, we keep the City Council informed of candidates and <br />what the next step is and adhere to a tight timeline so that you can count on having a successor as soon as possible to <br />take advantage of possible overlap with the outgoing Finance Director. <br />We are so confident in our process, which has been tweaked and re-evaluated multiple times, that we offer a two-year <br />assurance that the candidate selected through our process will remain with the City at least two years otherwise we will <br />gladly return and conduct another recruitment with only the additional advertising and testing expenses incurred by the <br />City. <br />Please let me know if there is anything I can do to explain or better inform you and others about our trusted recruitment <br />process. Thank you for considering DDA Human Resources, Inc. to assist in this very important recruitment <br />process. Have a great Friday and when convenient, please send me an e-mail to confirm that you received this <br />proposal. Have a great weekend! <br />Paeeld 44P4 <br />Management Consultant <br />DDA Human Resources, Inc. <br />A David Drown Associates Company <br />3620 Northome Avenue <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />Cell: 612 385-7162 <br />Phone: 612-920-3320 x116 <br />pat@daviddrown.com <br />www.daviddrown.com <br />Page 312 of 430 <br />
