I have received good feedback about last week's interview with Michael Boese, MPA of Clear Career Professionals on the City Manager Unfiltered Podcast.
You can listen to that episode here.
It was my first installment of the "Recruiter Series" where I sit down and interview public sector recruiters to learn more about their process. I want you to better understand each firm's recruitment process so you can be a stronger candidate.
If you have any questions for a recruiter -- please leave me a voice message at this link and I will play it on a future podcast episode.
