Executive Recruitment Proposal
County of San Bernardino

WORK PLAN, TECHNICAL APPROACH, and DELIVERABLES

Following are our detailed work plan, technical approach, and deliverables to be completed for this
executive-level recruitment for the County of San Bernardino (“County”):

Phase 1: Kick-off, Brochure Design, and Advertising

Deliverable 1. Ideal Candidate Profile Developed by Meeting with Key Decision Makers

The identification of the desired profile of the ideal job candidate for an executive level position is crucial for
a successful search process. We will meet with the Board of Supervisors if desired, the Human Resources
Director, and other representatives to discuss and refine the County’s needs and resulting position
requirements for the Director of Public Works position. We recommend also partnering with other leaders
associated with the Public Works department and the County, to gain an understanding of what they are
looking for in the position, and to develop an ideal candidate profile.
The goal of this phase of the recruitment is to identify and/or develop:

 The various organizational needs, priorities, vision, mission, goals, strengths, challenges,
opportunities, dynamics, culture, and staff of the County;
 Position competency requirements, i.e., knowledge, skills, and abilities;
 Ideal candidate’s skills, experiences, and characteristic profile;
 Personal and professional attributes required of and priorities for the new Director of
Public Works;
 Conditions and challenges in achieving the priorities identified above;
 Scope of community input and participation in the process;
 Type of working relationship County leadership desires with the new incumbent;
 Concerns and issues regarding the recruitment and the Director of Public Works
position;
 Advertising strategies in conjunction with a national outreach;
 Geographic strategies;
 Compensation levels; and
 Completion timetable.

Working closely with key stakeholders, K&A assists in identifying the specific needs of the County and the
key competencies and characteristics of the “ideal candidate.” We will obtain an understanding of the
County’s and its constituents’ goals and priorities.

Deliverable 2. Brochure Design

In collaboration with the County and working closely with our professional design team, a visually
appealing and mobile friendly recruitment brochure will be designed. The brochure will create excitement
around the Director of Public Works opportunity by highlighting strengths and challenges, upcoming
projects, goals, culture, extracurricular activities associated with the region, and additional pertinent
factors.
