BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Lodi is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced consulting and recruiting firms interested in providing comprehensive recruitment services for a variety of positions. These positions could include, but are not limited to, executive-level roles, department head-level positions, mid-management roles, and hard-to-fill positions.
As part of our ongoing workforce planning efforts, the City anticipates future vacancies in these positions due to retirements, employee resignations, internal promotions, and other organizational needs. The selected firm(s) will be expected to demonstrate a strong track record in public sector recruitment, offer strategic sourcing strategies, and assist in attracting highly qualified candidates.
The term of the contract will be for one year with the ability to extend for two (2) one-year terms. The City Council will interview the recruiting firms that submit proposals and will make the selection in early September.
STRATEGIC VISION:
All
FISCAL IMPACT:
The number of recruitments is not certain at this time. Recruitment expenses will be covered by existing appropriations made available by the vacancy.
