RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Recruitment and Referral incentive program to advance the recruitment and retention efforts of the City.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Recruitment Incentive Program:
The purpose of the Recruitment Incentive Program is to provide an extra incentive to attract high quality candidates in positions that have been traditionally difficult to fill and/or experienced high turnover. The program can bridge the gap between the salary that the applicant is seeking and the proposed offer and gives an added incentive to candidates. It will also save the City from incurring annual/structural costs associated with higher salaries.
