In April of 2014, the County Administrator’s Office created the Recruitment Opportunities Work Group consisting of representatives from the Human Resources Department, the Office of the County Counsel, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Office. The Work Group successfully researched and developed more robust and engaging outreach and recruitment strategies to underrepresented groups within the community. The goal is to promote equal employment opportunities, diversity and cultural competency within our workforce to qualified applicants who reside in the communities that we serve.
Referral Update:
In January 2015, the County's Outreach plan was rolled out to the department heads and it was well received. In February 2015, the Work Group rolled the plan out to the departmental Administrative Services Officers and the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinators to develop and implement their individual departmental plans.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT and RECEIVE the County's departmental strategic outreach and recruitment plans as recommended by the EEO Officer.
