Summary of Request:
The Human Resources Department, in collaboration with the Executive Office, has implemented a Strategic Hiring Process to support intentional workforce planning. This framework is designed to ensure requests to fill current or upcoming vacancies are aligned with departmental goals, legal mandates, funding sources, and organizational priorities.
To streamline and maintain consistency, Human Resources will present a standing monthly agenda item to the Board of Supervisors that includes all department and office requests for funding and filling vacant and/or new positions. Each request will include a justification outlining the necessity of the position, legal or regulatory mandates, and the proposed funding source(s). Department Heads and Elected Officials requesting positions will speak on behalf of their specific request(s) to ensure transparency and accountability.
The Strategic Hiring Process (attachment A) consists of six phases: job analysis and design, workforce planning, approval to hire (via Board agenda), recruitment, onboarding, and evaluation. By using this approach, departments can better assess their staffing needs, document justification, and present a comprehensive case for recruitment.
