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.

v             Process all applications received, including timely acknowledgments of receipt of application and status of recruitment information to all applicants, on behalf of the client.

v             Screen all applications received, matching all applicants’ credentials with the specific criteria qualifications stated in the Recruitment Profile.

v             Interview prospective final candidates and conduct background inquiries and reference checks with current and past employers and verification of claimed educational achievement.

v             Present a report to the client on applications received for the position, including résumés and background information on those individuals considered to be most qualified and best suited for the position.

v             Arrange additional background inquiries of candidates selected for interview, to include criminal court, credit, and motor vehicle records checks and print media searches.

v             Prepare interview questions and procedures for use by the client’s 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.

v             Coordinate candidates’ travel arrangements to the interview location.

v             Notify all applicants of the final appointment action by the client, including professional background information on the successful candidate.
