Executive Recruitment Services

Clatsop County needs a qualified executive recruitment firm to manage a nationwide recruitment, candidate assessment, and selection process for a new County Manager. The requested scope includes developing a recruitment timeline, salary survey, market analysis, candidate profile, and recruitment brochure. The selected consultant must also execute outreach, screen applicants, perform comprehensive background checks, assist with contract negotiations, and conduct debriefs. Eligibility is limited to USA-based organizations authorized to do business in the State of Oregon. Proposals must be submitted digitally via email to [email protected] by November 8, 2026, while written questions are due by October 30, 2026. Submittals must contain a signed transmittal letter, firm profile, assigned team resumes, past performance, methodology, replacement warranty terms, and a fixed-fee cost proposal. The buyer plans to award the contract on December 9, 2026. Evaluation criteria weight firm qualifications at 25%, methodology at 25%, consultant experience at 20%, past performance at 15%, and cost proposal value at 15%. Applicants must submit proposals using their own pricing structures, as the county did not disclose a fixed budget.
