Background
In 2008 Executive Diversity Services (EDS) conducted a follow up organization assessment for the
City of Kent EDS made 7 strategic recommendations to further the Diversity and Inclusion efforts
at the city. Among them was a recommendation to develop of a comprehensive recruitment
strategy that is inclusive which would include review of all recruitment, interview, and hiring
practices as well as reviewing the selection and preparation of all interview panels and procedures.
Recent data from the 2010 Census shows a significant increase in the percentages of minority and
immigrant populations residing in the City of Kent. As a result, EDS has been asked to identify the
steps and costs to develop the comprehensive recruitment strategy outlined in the 2008
assessment report.
PROCESS
In order to fully understand the recruitment challenges faced by the City of Kent it is critical to begin
with a thorough analysis of past and existing recruitment practices that may have influence on the
city's ability to attract talent for position openings. The review will consist of both internal practices
and external factors that may help identify best practices for inclusive recruitment.
Step 1 - Review of Materials
EDS will examine past and current recruitment strategies and processes for identification of any
barriers to inclusion and/or patterns that might have had a negative impact on the perception of
hiring at the City of Kent. EDS will also identify factors that are inclusive in the current strategy and
promote an open and inclusive environment for hiring Materials review will include testing, review
of a significant sampling of job descriptions to ensure that the minimum education and experience
requirements do not create an artificial barrier to employment, interview questions and preparation
of interview teams.
Step 2—Input from Key Staff
EDS will meet with key staff and leaders as determined by Employee Services to gain insight into
the current process and strategies for recruitment This should include interviews with the key or
pertinent staff of each department or division that recruits for positions in their respective areas.
Step 3— Benchmarking
EDS will examine past and current recruitment strategies of similar organizations in King County
and other public sector agencies to identify"Best Practices"that may be duplicated by the City of
Kent
Step 4—Strategy Development
After all data is collected and analyzed, EDS will develop a Comprehensive Inclusive Recruitment
Strategy that will include a multiple step process to assist the City of Kent achieve it's recruitment
goals
