At the Cook County Board Special Meeting on February 3, the commissioners were informed by their DDA Human Resources, Inc. consultant, who attracts, screens, and presents applicants, that he received and reviewed 41 applications for the County Administrator position.
The consultant narrowed the applicants to 12 top candidates. As of the February 3rd meeting, two had withdrawn themselves from consideration, leaving 10.
The commissioners that afternoon received packets of information that included a work personality index, resume, and the video interview the consultant had with each candidate. The board members were asked to review all the material on each of the ten applicants before the next regular meeting on February 11 and rank their preference for up to five for moving forward in the interviewing and hiring process. That meeting begins at 8:30 am in the Commissioners Room of the Cook County Courthouse in Grand Marais.
