Executive Director Search Services

The government authority located in Tumwater, Washington is seeking a vendor to provide executive director search services. The agency needs to recruit a new leader for the library district and requires a sole point of contact to manage the recruitment in full, including all candidate communications and application materials. The selected vendor will work with the search committee to amend the job description to fit the desired leadership profile based on board and stakeholder input. The scope of work requires the vendor to develop a comprehensive plan of action and a tentative timeline with defined milestones.

Additionally, the vendor must present the finalized job description to the full board for final approval prior to advertising the role. The agency requires the vendor to advertise the role broadly through both library and public sector professional networks. The vendor must also conduct active, direct outreach to prospective candidates, specifically targeting individuals who fit the needs of the library district even if they did not directly apply. All performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the services. The provided source materials do not contain specific evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
