SCOPE OF SERVICES/THE SEARCH PROCESS
Our assignments follow our well-defined six-step process:
1. DEVELOP A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING AND ASSESSMENT OF THE CLIENT
This involves meetings with the City Manager, the interim CFO and other key staff and
other stakeholders, including possibly the outside audit firm and Financial Advisor. During
theses conversation we will seek to ascertain the strengths and limitations of the Finance
Department, its current culture and personality, and key priorities and desired skill set for
the next CFO. Also, during this phase, a review of organizational structures, backgrounds
of executives, official and unofficial lines of authority and responsibility, will be conducted.
The status of potential internal candidates will also be reviewed. Perceptions about the
organization's stature and attractiveness to potential candidates are crucial to developing a
good organizational profile. Advantages and negative factors regarding the organization,
which may aid or hinder recruitment, will be thoroughly assessed.
This initial phase becomes the foundation for developing a strong partnership and effective
working relationship between the client organization and The Hawkins Company.

2. DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE POSITION
In discussions with the City Manager and various stakeholders, personal and professional
attributes for the position are established. After all the stakeholder engagements are
completed, we will review the current job description, provide recommendations for
changes as well as use any additional materials as appropriate and develop a recruitment
profile that includes a clear description of the recruitment criteria, which will serve as a
profile for the ideal candidate. This profile is prepared by The Hawkins Company, from
information provided by officials who have key relationships with the position to be filled. It
is imperative that this position profile consists of realistic requirements and experience
levels, because it is the standard against which potential candidates are recruited and
evaluated. We will work with City's leadership team to develop an outreach strategy
(advertisements, postings, and mailings) to ensure that the opening is well publicized and
that interested individuals are able to apply. During this phase, we will also finalize the
recruitment work plan and timeline.
3. DEVELOP SEARCH STRATEGY AIMED AT ATTRACTING THE MOST QUALIFIED
CANDIDATES
Since individuals with the desired qualities are not usually actively looking to make a
change, they must be recruited. An effective strategy is crucial to a successful recruitment,
and The Hawkins Company works closely with the client in developing a regional search
strategy. We will work with the City Manager and other staff to identify appropriate sources
of candidates to target and establish organizations as sources of candidates as well as
geographical preferences.
During this phase, the objective is to accumulate a strong pool of candidates. The Hawkins
Company will use various candidate solicitation methods, including direct sourcing based
upon industry research that includes social media, internet searches, contacts with key
professional leaders in the field, peer to peer referrals, our candidate data bank, and
contacts with appropriate professional associations. We will also solicit candidate
recommendations from appropriate city staff.
4. CANDIDATE RECRUITMENT AND SCREENING
In addition to the formal job postings and advertising with local and regional professional
finance organizations, journals, professional and industry publications and mailings, The
Hawkins Company uses a private sector-direct sourcing approach in locating candidates
who meet the position specifications and have established patterns of accomplishments
and success. Potential candidates and sources of candidates, identified through the above
method, are actively recruited to become candidates, and/or solicited as referral sources.
We will review and acknowledge in writing all resumes received. Once the candidate pool is
established, all qualified candidates, both internal and external, will be evaluated based on
the job requirements for the position. Reports are prepared and reviewed with the client to
select the most appropriate candidates for further consideration.

5. EVALUATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINAL CANDIDATES
During this phase, the top 6-10 candidates are presented to the City Manager for additional
consideration. The Hawkins Company conducts in-depth interviews, usually in person, to
ascertain a comprehensive understanding of each selected potential semi-final candidate's
strengths and limitations, and to determine their overall suitability as a member of the
client's management team. The goal is to formulate a comprehensive understanding of their
background, i.e., qualifications, pertinent accomplishments, experience, ability to meet
special needs of the position and their interest in being considered.
In addition, we conduct 360-degree references on each final candidate. We do not merely
rely on the candidate's reference list, but we seek independent references based on our
review of their credentials and our independent knowledge of the position and profession.
We also conduct thorough internet searches, and background investigations. Degrees are
verified and certifications are checked. Also, we will include our recommendations to the
City Manager.
The Hawkins Company works closely with the City Manager and the semi-final candidates
to arrange, schedule and facilitate interviews with the top 4-6 semi-final candidates. We
assist with coordination of semi-final candidate interviews including assisting with
developing interview questions, scheduling candidate interviews, briefing the interview
panel and facilitating the interview process. Additional selection processes such as
assessment centers and/or psychological evaluations are available options.
Upon completion of the semi-final interview process, the selection panel recommends the
top 2-3 candidates to the City Manager. Professional appraisals and reference checks will
form the basis for each selected final candidate's report.
While the hiring decision is always the client's, we are prepared to assist with negotiations
relative to terms and conditions of employment.
6. CANDIDATE AND CLIENT FOLLOW-UP
After the executive is hired, The Hawkins Company meets with the client to evaluate the
overall executive recruiting strategy. Our strengths and the level of client satisfaction are
assessed, along with those areas needing improvement. In addition, we periodically
communicate with the hired executive to identify any areas of concern and to ensure a
lasting relationship.
Throughout the search process, The Hawkins Company maintains a close client-consultant
working relationship which includes periodic progress reports usually bi-weekly.
The Hawkins Company operates under Equal Opportunity Employment, Americans with
Disabilities, and Affirmative Action guidelines in conducting executive search assignments.
