RECRUITMENT PROPOSAL RECRUITMENT PROPOSAL
Koff & Associates (“K&A”) is an experienced public-sector consulting firm that has been assisting
Introduction cities, counties, special districts, educational institutions, courts, and other public agencies with

their executive and staff level recruitment needs and other human resources needs for thirty-five
(35) years. K&A Recruiting, as a subsidiary of Koff & Associates, is well qualified to support you
with your executive search efforts because of our extensive experience recruiting throughout the
State of California in the public sector. We have successfully placed numerous executives and
managers with cities, counties, public agencies, JPAs, and non-profit organizations, and are confi-
dent we can accomplish a successful placement for the City of Palos Verdes Estates.

To guide successful placements, we build recruitment projects around the unique needs of each
position, including tapping into our internal network to spread the word and grow the candidate
pool. For over 35 years, we have been facilitating recruiting projects and providing a wide variety
of other human resources services of the utmost quality. We have made a real tangible differ-
ence for many hundreds of public agencies and their respective workplaces throughout California
and as a result have forged strong, authentic relationships with countless agency employees.

K&A Recruiting is an emergent leader. By combining our extensive internal network and three
decades of recruiting experience with a forward-thinking and modern recruiting philosophy we
are exploiting an opportunity for advancement in the market. Recruiting firms in the public sector
have not kept pace with modern trends.

K&A Recruiting’s utilization of modern, professional recruiting software and techniques expands
the candidate pool for a given recruitment beyond the status quo the public sector has come to
expect, resulting in a stronger slate of recommended candidates, and ultimately a stronger place-
ment. Additionally, by using digital and visually friendly binders, we provide transparency into our
process, which holds our firm to a high-level of integrity, ups the level of collaboration, and gives
your team detail to feel confident when deciding whom to hire.

Our empathetic understanding of client cultures and individual candidate plight ensures that we
stay true to our public sector roots, and makes for a highly effective balance.

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