GovHR treats each executive recruitment as a transparent partnership with our client. We believe in
engaging with stakeholders early in each recruitment process to fully understand the challenges and
opportunities inherent in the position. Understanding the organizational culture is critical to a successful

Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Recruitments
GovHR has a long-standing commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in all of our recruitment and
selection processes. Since our firm's inception we have supported, with our time and financial resources,
organizations that advance women and other underrepresented minorities in local government. These
include the National Forum for Black Public Administrators, the Local Government Hispanic Network, The
League of Women in Government and CivicPride.
GovHR Team Members have moderated and spoken on DEI initiatives at the International City and
County Management Association conference and state conferences in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
North Carolina. Our employees and consultants have undergone Implicit Bias Training and we are
frequent speakers on incorporating DEI values into recruitment and selection processes. We have a list of
DEI resources on the front page of our website (https://www.govhrusa.com/diversity-equity-and-
inclusion-resources/) that can be accessed by anyone who visits our website.
GovHR has formally partnered with the National Forum for Black Public Administrators' consulting arm,
i4x, in several recruitment and selection processes throughout the country including Toledo, OH, Fort
Collins, CO, Ann Arbor, MI, Oakland, MI and Arlington, TX. Our partnership reflects our mutual
commitment to advancing DEI values and increasing the diversity of local government leaders at the
highest levels of local government organizations.

Recruiting During the Great Resignation
The GovHR team is aware of the lasting impact that the Great Resignation has had on nearly all local
government positions. Data shows annual quit rates have been at record highs the past two years.
Additionally, there is a growing trend of public workers accelerating retirement plans, a drastic change
from when workers were postponing retirement.
Our team of consultants work diligently to ensure the success of each recruitment and will be transparent
upfront and throughout the process regarding any obstacles or delays they anticipate. Despite these
challenging times, we have still seen a tremendous amount of success in our recruitments largely due to
our consultants’ outreach methods and our team’s marketing strategies.
GOVHR’S RECOMMENDATIONS TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN TOP TALENT
R esponsive: Roll out the Welcome Mat! Candidates may struggle with relocating for a new position as
well as be concerned about the “fit” with a new team. It is important to include costs for your top
candidate(s) to travel to your location for the final interview process. Our team will work with you to
create a welcoming, informative experience for both you and the candidate(s).
Encouraging: Employee development is a must-have in today’s market. Candidates appreciate their
employer investing in them as much as they are investing themselves in the job. Consider “up and coming”
candidates who may lack one or two preferred skills and assign a mentor or invest in a course to encourage
their professional development. A mentor/training program will also help establish a peer-to-peer
connection and make them feel more comfortable about the transition to a new job.
Competitive: Our team will guide you in offering a competitive market rate compensation and
competitive benefits package attractive to today’s candidates. Competitive employers must include
relocation expenses and should consider signing bonuses and temporary housing.
R esourceful: Review your job description – do you need public sector experience? Are the years’
experience you list essential, or can that be preferred? Consider a more resourceful approach when
reviewing candidates’ experience. Carefully consider requirements such as CPA, Professional Engineer and
others that will limit your talent pool – consider using the word “ideally” or “preferably.”
Understanding: These past few years have, without a doubt, changed the work environment. Competitive
employers have recognized this and are offering flexible/hybrid/remote work options. Those positions
that offer this type of flexibility consistently receive a better candidate response rate.
Innovative: Think about what is unique and attractive about your community and organization and
highlight that in your recruitment efforts. Talk about organizational culture and what your values are with
respect to your employees. GovHR will assist you in being as innovative as possible in your outreach.
Transparent: Some states now mandate listing salary ranges in any job advertisements or postings. More
and more companies are now showing at least a salary range in their postings to promote pay
transparency and equity. Post the salary range you will use for hiring – it is public information if we make
it too difficult for candidates to find out the salary, they will move on to the next opportunity.
