Dear Randi Perry:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your request for proposal for Executive Recruitment services for the posi-
tion of Mayor’s Communications Director for the City of San José (“City”). We are most interested in assisting the City
with the effort for this critical opening, which occupies a key leadership position. K&A Recruiting is committed to provid-
ing exceptional service and placements of the highest quality. Based on our experience filling the Mayor’s Communica-
tions Director for the City in 2015, I feel that we are well-qualifed to perform the recruitment for this search.

We have successfully placed numerous executives and managers with cities, counties, public agencies, JPAs, and
non-profit organizations throughout our 35-year history. To accomplish this, we develop customized recruitment proj-
ects around the unique requirements of each position.

We have made a positive difference for many public agencies and their respective workplaces throughout California,
and have forged strong, authentic relationships with the individuals affected, including staff and executives. To increase
awareness of this opportunity, we will tactfully reach into our internal network, with a focus on prospects relevant to the
Mayor’s Communications Director position.

Through the advantage of our innovative approach and exploitation of technology, K&A Recruiting attracts top-tier can-
didates from diverse backgrounds, merging a progressive recruiting style with traditional public-sector values. Contem-
porary applications and software give our recruiters a real-time advantage through wide-spread, active management of
the market. We have created a strategy to target diversity reflective of your community to enable stronger, more diverse
candidate pools than before.

Our 35-year-old history serving public agencies ensures that we stay true to our roots and makes for a highly effective
process in combination with our innovative approach and emphasis on diversity. By investing in technology, we also in-
crease collaboration and transparency, which gives your team peace of mind when deciding whom to hire.

As Chief Executive Officer of the firm, I would be Co-Project Director for the recruitment together with our Recruitment
Manager, Richard O’Donnell, and our team of seasoned recruiters. You can reach me at (510) 658-5633, and my email

the same telephone number here in Berkeley. Our fax number is (510) 652-5633.

We look forward to the opportunity to provide professional services to the City of San José.
