Per Rodney’s suggestion during our last board meeting… that it may be of benefit to use TDL services to find, test and interview a future employee for the position of administrative support\/business manager, here is what Marylee found out:<\/p>\n
TDL charges $1700 to find and place an employee. They agree to replace the person free of charge if they leave in the first year. – They may or may not already have this person in their data base – if not – they do the looking and pull from several resources. They do all the recruiting, they screen, test, check all the references, and do background checks as appropriate – then provide the agency with 1-3 candidates to choose from. Essentially – we just are meeting with folks to see whose personality we jive with. She said, this still takes some time to get a person in place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’ve discussed this with Marylee, and I feel pretty strongly that this person is extremely important. It needs to be a qualified person, self motivated, intuitive, detail oriented, and someone that has enough independence to be a strong supporting role and not suck a lot of management time. Employees like this are hard to find, but the fit needs to be right. In order that we can proceed with this prior to our next board meeting, I wanted to open the discussion here for comment, and propose that we go forward with authorizing the $1700 expense to initiate this process. I have worked on a job description with Marylee, which can be found at the link below if you want to read it. I’d like to resolve this in a few days so please state here any concerns or questions, and\/or whether you approve with proceeding.<\/p>\n
