Outlined below are the key steps in our recruitment process. STEP 1 DEVELOPING THE CANDIDATE PROFILE Our understanding of the Poudre Fire Authority's needs will be kev to a successful search.

We also want to know the Members of the Boards' expectations regarding the knowledge, skills and abilities sought in the ideal candidate and will work with the Authority to identify expectations regarding education and experience. Additionally, we want to discuss expectations regarding compensation and other items necessary to complete the successful appointment of the ideal candidate. We will utilize input from the Fire Authority and from the Community Stakeholder candidate profile survey to develop a comprehensive description of your ideal candidate that will drive subsequent recruitment efforts. STEP 2 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AND RECRUITMENT BROCHURE After gaining an understanding of the Poudre Fire Authority's needs, we will design an effective advertising campaign appropriate for the Fire Chief recruitment.
