At the Animal Advisory Committee meeting last night, two representatives from the City’s HR department were there to explain the process for hiring a new shelter director.
Right now, they are hiring an executive recruiter. Once the recruiter is hired, they will have a public forum to get community input on the kind of shelter director we want. They will then write a “profile” for the position and will start recruiting nationally.
The recruiter and the City will conduct interviews, check references, etc. and narrow the candidate list down to a few candidates.
They will then host another public forum with the candidates and give the public a chance to ask questions and give input.
After that, they will make an offer to one of the candidates. They hope to have the director position filled in early fall.
We will let you know when we get more information.
