RAFTELIS 9 Proposed Scope of Work THE FOLLOWING PROVIDES A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF OUR WORK PLAN FOR YOUR TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR RECRUITMENT. Activity 1 – Develop Candidate Profile We will begin by developing a clear picture of your ideal Transportation Director. We will conduct a kick-off meeting with the County Manager and the Human Resources Director to discuss the overall recruitment process and timeline. We will then conduct up to four additional meetings with the community stakeholders and department directors to understand everyone’s unique perspectives on the desired skills and experiences the next Transportation Director should possess. During this process of engagement, we will discuss not just the technical skills needed for the position but also what makes the right organizational fit in terms of traits and experiences. Fees for additional optional internal and external stakeholder engagement activities offered by Raftelis are outlined in the Cost section of this proposal. Based on the information gathered in our meetings, we will develop a recruitment plan that focuses on the Carolinas and extends across the country. We will prepare a position profile unique to the County. The profile will outline your organization’s needs, strategic opportunities, and the personal and professional characteristics of the successful candidate. This profile drives the recruitment. It focuses our efforts on the most capable candidates and helps us encourage them to pursue the position. Our team of professional graphic designers will create a recruitment brochure that includes the position profile and information about the organization and the broader community. In developing the candidate profile, we will work with the County to eliminate potential barriers for underrepresented groups wherever possible to ensure an equitable and inclusive recruitment process. We will also develop first-year organizational goals for the successful candidate. These goals will ensure that the applicants know what is expected of them, that the County has clearly identified objectives for the new Transportation Director, and that the successful candidate can hit the ground running with an actionable work plan. Once drafted, we will review the recruitment plan, brochure, and first-year goals with the County Manager and the Human Resources Director. Modifications will be made as necessary before recruitment begins.
