Phase 3:Interview Process
Digital Applicant Materials Binder
Phase 3: Presentation of Candidates and Facilitation of Inter-
view Process
Deliverable 7. Presentation of Recommended Candidates
When the screening process is complete, we will prepare K&A Recruiting’s Applicant
Materials Binder, which contains candidate recommendations, visually rich reports,
and a summary of the candidate pool and pipeline.
Our team will submit for review precise written analysis of the applicant pool and
recommendations of between six (6) and twelve (12) candidates to consider for on-
site interviews. Our recommendations will include all relevant documents submitted
by the applicants, such as application forms, cover letters, résumés, and any addi-
tional information the applicants have provided.
We base our assessment on both the candidate’s qualifications and the knowledge of
the agency’s requirements, preferences, and culture.
Deliverable 8. Coordination of, and Participation in, Applicant Interviews
Working with the City, K&A Recruiting will develop a set of critical questions that
will help analyze the candidates’ qualifications and management/work style. We will
then assemble on-site interview binders for each panelist. We will facilitate com-
munication with the interviewing panel so that all parties are well-prepared for the
On-Site Interview Binders Interviews interviews. Our firm will provide oversight during the interview process and guide a
focused discussion among interview panel members after the interviews to identify
the most qualified candidates for final consideration.
Interview questions will be designed to elicit information, not only about each can-
didate’s technical skills and experience but also their leadership skills, adaptability,
political astuteness, self-awareness, and other important aspects of the ideal candi-
date profile.
Deliverable 9. Final Interviews: Coordination of Final Interview Process
The interview panel will often narrow the field of candidates to two or three finalists
who are asked back for a second and final interview. The second round may include
meeting other City staff, touring facilities and offices, and spending more time with
the Mayor and City Council, the H.R. Director and other key individuals or stakehold-
ers.
