- Selection of Executive Search Firm for 2024 Chief Administrative Officer Recruitment - 2024-174.pdf
A short procedural report for the council sub-committee handling the hiring of Guelph's next Chief Administrative Officer, the city's top staff position. It explains that firms invited to bid on leading the search submitted quotes and expressions of interest, and that these were reviewed privately at the April 17, 2024 closed meeting. Any motions to pick a search firm would follow that discussion. Costs would come from the Human Resources budget.
