Experts in Emotional Intelligence to Develop Individuals and Organizations 9 <br />STEPS IN THE RECRUITMENT, <br />SCREENING, AND SELECTION <br />PROCESS <br /> <br /> <br />PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED STEPS <br /> <br /> <br />TIMELINE <br />Step 6: Conduct skill-based exercises <br />to evaluate the (up to 5) finalists <br />• Recruit assessors to evaluate <br />the candidates (Assessors can <br />be identified and approved by <br />the Commissioners) <br />• Analyze EQI in-depth and <br />correlate results with those of <br />the skill-based exercises <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1) The exercises should enable the County to <br />assess each candidate's strengths and <br />weaknesses and determine which candidates <br />have the skills to fill the position. Skills-based <br />exercises elicit skills that are not observable <br />in an interview. The exercises will be valid, <br />reliable, and unbiased. <br />2) The rating criteria will be premised on the job <br />analysis and designed using objective, <br />behavioral-based rating criteria. <br />3) The types of assessors recruited depend upon <br />the types of exercises the candidates would <br />perform. Assessors might include local <br />government executives in similar positions. <br />4) Assessors must complete a Statement of <br />Confidentiality. Moreover, no single assessor <br />will know the overall outcome of the process. <br />That information is provided to the <br />Commissioners only. <br />5) We will train assessors on how to apply <br />behavioral-based rating systems when rating <br />candidates. <br />6) We will send the candidates preparatory <br />information and provide them with a <br />comprehensive orientation session (virtually) <br />in advance of the process. <br />Days 60-61 <br />(The afternoon of <br />Day 61) <br /> <br />Step 7: Facilitate the debrief with the <br />Commissioners. <br /> <br />1) Each team of assessors will meet with the <br />BOCC to share their feedback on the <br />candidates in their respective exercise. <br />2) Provides expertise to the Commissioners in <br />making your evaluations and hiring decision. <br />3) Correlate the results of the skills-based <br />exercises with those of the EQi. <br />Day 61 <br />Step 8: Facilitate (in-person) final <br />interviews and a presentation <br />designed specifically for the position <br />with the final 3-4 candidates <br />1) We would help the Committee design <br />interview questions specific for the position <br />and based on the performance of the <br />candidates in Step 6. (Other firms will only <br />offer you stock interview questions.) <br />2) We will also include a presentation based on <br />actual challenges facing the next Orange <br />County Tax Administrator. We will prepare <br />candidates and the Committee for the <br />presentation. <br />By Day 70 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: DE8441AA-E59C-82BA-8112-C2D52F2C60C1
