The Meyner Center can be of invaluable assistance to a municipality in providing independent and unbiased, professional guidance in choosing both the procedure for recruiting your new manager, police chief, or other department head and in the ultimate selection of the best candidate available. 

Our services offered include any or all of the following:

  • Meeting with the elected board (either alone or with a search committee) to assist them in defining the responsibilities of the position, setting the expected salary and benefit expense, establishing the recruitment and appointment procedure, identifying the media for publication of the advertisement, and scheduling the interview process
  • Preparing and mailing the position advertisement in the approved newspapers and/or  professional publications
  • Reviewing (either alone or with a search committee) the resumes received, checking references, and recommending a pre-approved number of candidates that the municipality would interview
  • Preparing a list of interview questions, and if the elected board chooses, participating in the interviews
  • Assisting the municipality in negotiating the terms of employment with the chosen candidate
