The recruitment and selection process involves a variety of steps and activities that must be performed in a timely and orderly manner. Because the hiring decision is so important to the organization and the community, a city may wish to request project assistance from MTAS.
MTAS can help in a variety of ways ranging from coordinating the total process to performing a single task. We can, for example, assist in the preparation of the job design profile, the job description or the job advertisement. We also can administer the pre-interview questionnaire or contact references on behalf of your city.
In short, the scope of MTAS’ services in the recruitment and selection of management and professional employees can be tailored to the needs and preferences of each city. MTAS also can arrange an assessment center.
