title
Request for discussion and possible action to engage Korn Ferry to conduct a market analysis for the Public Defender role and determine competitive salary recommendations based on certain market percentiles.
end
Background and Discussion:
In preparation for the expressed retirement of the Public Defender, HRRM Talent Acquisition has been directed to begin the job search process for viable candidates for the role. The process includes a market analysis of the role to determine a competitive and fair compensation offer.
Expected Impact:
The market analysis, if approved by Commissioners Court, will assess the relative magnitude of the role based on knowledge, problem-solving and accountability. Additionally, it will compare this role to executive roles of similar size, scope, and responsibilities to determine recommended competitive salaries in the 25th and 50th percentiles of the market.
Alternative Options:
While Commissioners Court may decline to authorize a data-driven market analysis of the Public Defender role, it may impede the timely sourcing of qualified talented applicants.
