City Manager RTRs & Job Board Newsletter (3/17/2024)

This week's upcoming podcast interview is with recruiter Michael Boese, MPA of Clear Career Professionals .

I am going to do a series of interviews with public sector recruiters so that candidates have a better understanding of each firm's process and approach.

If you have any questions you would like to direct towards a specific recruiting firm or any general questions about the recruitment process, please send me a message or an email.

One more thing -- assistant and deputy city manager RTRs simply do not get as much news coverage as city and county managers, obviously.

If you know of any assistant or deputy city manager RTRs, please feel free to message those to me so that I can include them in the list.

And here are this week's list of RTRs...
