Executive Search
PMC International offers a
comprehensive Executive Search service. We realize that selecting a police
chief or police director is one of the most important responsibilities an
administrator must face. As a firm that utilizes former law enforcement
executives we understand current policing and community needs, and the
issues agencies face today. During the executive search we will: 1) Study your needs and that of your constituents, 2) Advertise and recruit qualified candidates, 3) Assess and verify qualifications of prospective
candidates, 4) Select the most qualified
candidates, and, 5) Provide follow-up service in
your final selection phase and transition.
We offer one of the most comprehensive approaches
to law enforcement executive search because of our extensive experience in the
law enforcement profession. We use comprehensive measurement and profiling
tools to ensure quality selection. We have the knowledge and experience to
generate a pool of highly qualified candidates.
Our firm’s executive search philosophy
embraces a professional process of integrity, trust, and respect toward all
individuals involved and a complete commitment toward meeting the expressed
needs and desires of our client. Keeping both our client and prospective
candidates informed on the status of the search on a regular basis is also
an important part of our process. We provide assistance in the critical
final interview and selection phases of the recruitment. Our process was
developed and refined over the years to meet the special, and often unique,
needs and circumstances facing local governments.
Our executive search process is highly
professional and personalized. We assist our clients from beginning to end,
until a completely acceptable candidate is appointed to the position. We
handle all of the administrative details of the entire recruitment process,
so officials can limit their involvement to the significant,
decision-making aspects of the selection process, thus minimizing
interruption of attention to other important on-going concerns and responsibilities.
 We assist a client in developing
a Recruitment Profile that sets forth detailed qualifications for the
position, reflecting both current and longer range organizational
expectations relating to the position. The Profile serves as a key
instrument for recruiting and screening candidates in accordance with the
unique needs identified for the position.
Our
executive search process generally includes the following tasks:
v
Interview elected and appointed officials and appropriate staff,
to ascertain detailed information concerning the specific duties,
responsibilities and expectations of the position. During our on-site
interview we will devote considerable time and effort to become
knowledgeable and familiar with the client’s organization, community
institutions and leadership, gain a sense of the community as a place to
live and work, understand intergovernmental relationships, take note of
cultural and socioeconomic diversity, and other efforts, all to understand
and be able to present prospective candidates (and their families) with
information about the position.
v
Conduct an intensive independent professional search and
recruitment effort, utilizing a local, regional and national network, seeking out qualified candidates.
v
Placement of announcements in appropriate professional publications and on the
internet to provide maximum exposure of the position’s career
opportunity and to ensure an open recruitment process.

credentials with the specific criteria qualifications stated in the

for interview, to include criminal court, credit, and motor vehicle records
checks and print media searches.
v

Interview Panel, developing a process which will ensure that the same
questions are asked of each candidate and that each interview is thoroughly
and consistently evaluated.

location.
