until Contractor has obtained written authorization and acknowledgement by County for such additional services in
accordance with County’s internal policies. Accordingly, no course of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor
verbal change orders, express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Services, and no claim that
County has been unjustly enriched by any additional services, whether or not there is in fact any such unjust
enrichment, shall be the basis of any increase in the compensation payable hereunder. In the event that written
authorization and acknowledgment by County for such additional services is not timely executed and issued in strict
accordance with this Agreement, Contractor’s rights with respect to such additional services shall be deemed waived
and such failure shall result in non-payment for such additional services or work performed.

performed, who performed each task and such other detail as County may request.

reasonably determines that any payment made by County to Contractor was improper because the Services for
which payment was made were not performed as set forth in this Agreement, then upon written notice of such
determination and request for reimbursement from County, Contractor shall forthwith return such payment(s) to
County. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, unexpended funds advanced by County, if any, shall
forthwith be returned to County.
c. County will not withhold any taxes from monies paid to the Contractor hereunder and Contractor
agrees to be solely responsible for the accurate reporting and payment of any taxes related to payments made
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Sec. 20).
6. Subcontractors. Contractor acknowledges that County has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the

HR Assist Executive Search Services
Eagle County, CO
Director of Aviation
Background
ADK Consulting & Executive Search (ADK) is pleased to offer its HR Assist executive search and consulting
services to Eagle County, CO for a new Director of Aviation at Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE).
Why HR Assist?
Our clients are our reason for our existence. When our clients express a need, we listen. That is why we
developed HR Assist. We wanted to respond to those airports that fit into at least one of the following
categories:
• A Human Resources department that has dedicated recruiters who are used to doing various
elements of a search such as initial and final interviews in their normal course of business, but do
not have the broad base referral network or resources to recruit passive candidates for high level
airport recruitments. In other words, broad spectrum outreach. That is what we do!
• An “HR Department of One” that is everything to everybody and does not have the time to add a
unique and/or critically important search to their already busy schedule.
• Airports, or their governing bodies, that do not have a budget for a full-service search but
understand the need and have a desire to develop a quality candidate pool.
• A Human Resources department of any size that is understaffed to handle various recruitment and
screening processes at the high level that we do at ADK.
Our Search Process
We collaborate with and successfully work with you to advise, guide, and otherwise assist as needed to
help fill your pending vacancy. We believe that every position at the airport is important and deserves to
be filled by the best candidate possible, because talented employees are the future of the airport. ADK
starts by working closely with you to gain a thorough understanding of the Position and the ideal skills
sought for a successful hire. Our goal is to find the best possible fit for the airport and achieve a long-term
successful placement.

Work Scope
Phase 1: Search Startup and Candidate Pool Development
1.1 Position Profile and Understanding of the Position
We will conference with Client to help develop the Position Profile (job specification, guidelines,
qualifications, experience, and ideal candidate traits for an ideal cultural fit). We will develop the
overall parameters of the position. We will collectively determine the profile of what you are looking
for in your new hire, express your priorities for the position, and define the exceptional qualities that
you want to see in your new hire. We call these our “hot buttons” conversations. ADK will submit the
Position Profile as part of the brochure development process.
1.2 Marketing and Outreach
Recruitment Brochure
The development of a comprehensive and outstanding recruitment brochure is synonymous with
ADK. It allows interested candidates to learn about the community, the airport, and the Position
Profile discussed above that establishes what is being sought in your ideal candidate. It also provides
potential applicants the necessary information to submit for the position. We invite you to visit our
website at ADK Current Searches for examples of our recruitment brochures. A link to the brochure
will be provided for posting on Client’s website.
ADK Network and Direct Sourcing
ADK retains staff who are aviation industry specialists for a reason. We are widely known throughout
the U.S., have personal knowledge of the available talent in the industry, and know what the typical
requirements are for the positions we are retained to help fill. Our Team collaborates to create a list
of candidates who could be a good fit for our client. We also create a list of organizations that most
likely will generate candidates who would have the background for this position.
We use our direct outreach process to actively recruit qualified and diverse candidates for this
position. Our knowledge of the industry and nationwide outreach also allows purposeful involvement
of women and minority candidates in our selection pool.
Many of the most talented candidates we have placed come from our direct sourcing and targeted
outreach to industry professionals through personal and direct telephone contacts as well as our
industry leading e-newsletter. We electronically contact nearly 20,000 aviation professionals
announcing our searches through this widely read medium.
Our role is to make this position known to a wide universe of potential applicants and to cultivate an
interest in the vacancy. The quality and diversity of the final list of candidates is totally dependent on
the qualifications of the initial candidate pool; hence, the amount of time we spend on candidate pool
development is critical to the success of our search process.
DocuSign Envelope ID: E4D46F02-091F-42BA-8E35-7DE50DC4AF9B

Advertisement
We will post recruiting ads with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), Airports
Council North America (ACI-NA), AMAC, LinkedIn, regional AAAE associations, and other mediums as
determined necessary and appropriate in consultation with the Client, including the Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA). Ads attract people who are typically looking for a move and
sometimes these ads reach potentially good candidates by word of mouth through this process.
Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
Candidates submit directly online through our secure applicant tracking system, iCIMS, that is used
by companies such as Amazon and Microsoft. Our thorough screening process moves through various
phases where our Project Manager and ADK team advance the best fit candidates to next steps
explained in Phase 2 Screening below. Top candidates and their screening materials are shared with
our client through client’s confidential iCIMS link.
Phase 2: Screening
ADK uses a variety of tools to assesses all candidates, internal and external. Through vetted screening,
we determine the closest match to background and experience that is relevant to the position.
Through the following screening phases, we assess background and skill sets, level of enthusiasm for
the position, cultural and personality fit, reputation, and leadership style.
2.1 Communication
We strongly believe that communication with our clients and candidates is essential to a successful
search. Throughout the search, we communicate with our clients and candidates so that we all have
the same shared expectations.
2.2 Résumé Review
Utilizing our targeted ADK analysis, we review the candidates’ cover letters and résumés in depth. We
create our ADK Talent Tracker, which is a detailed overview of all of the candidates for comparison
and matching them against the expectations developed in the startup phase.
2.3 Questionnaire
Selected candidates will be asked to respond to targeted questions. These supplemental responses
give us additional insight into the candidates, how they think, an example of their written
communication skills, and more information than is typically found in a résumé.
2.4 Assessment
ADK is certified in a variety of professional behavior assessments. Assessments have been shown to
be effective tools for determining likely behavioral traits, motivations and leadership style.
Assessments may give an indication of a person’s predictability for success or lead to areas to explore
further. ADK is trained in the interpretation of assessments. These assessments are not provided to
clients because they can be misinterpreted without professional training. ADK uses assessments as
one tool in the toolbox to help determined best fit for the position and should not be over-weighted
in the overall analysis.

2.5 Video Recordings
We record a 10 - 12 minute candidate self-directed video interview snippet and provide that interview
snippet to the Client for review to gain insight into the person’s presence and demeanor.
2.6 ADK Deliverables
Deliverables are available for review via our ATS where candidate submittal, responses to the initial
questionnaires, essay questionnaires, and video interviews are available for review in one convenient
location.
2.7 Consultation
We will provide our recommendations for candidates to move forward via the our ATS Confidential
Client Link. After the client reviews the materials, we will conference with you to discuss the
candidates and concur on top candidates to move forward in the process. ADK will notify all
candidates that the information has been forwarded to our client and they can expect to be contacted
by Client regarding next steps. Those not moving forward will be sent respectful regrets by ADK.
ADK has completed its screening role in the HR Assist process. At this point, Client continues
with the search process through completion of Phase 4.
Phase 3: Client Screening
3.1 Interviews and Reference Checks
Client will perform initial telephone or video interviews with the candidates you select as well as
reference checks.
3.2 Other Client Responsibilities
Client is responsible to develop your own final list of candidates as a result of your evaluation of the
materials supplied by ADK and the results of your interviews and reference checks. At this time, we
recommend that you notify candidates of their status. Upon request, and for no additional charge,
ADK will be available to discuss the results of the screening processes with Client to assist in
determining the candidates you wish to invite to finals.
Phase 4: Client Final Interviews and Selection
4.1 Background / Social Media Checks
Background checks and social/media checks are an important part of a search process. We recommend
that you perform these checks on the final list.
4.2 Final Interviews and Negotiations
Client will conduct final interviews, conduct negotiations with the selected candidate, and notify the
remaining candidates of their status.

Timeline
Upon execution of a Notice to Proceed, and after the first consultation between Client and ADK in Section

search schedule does have variables, including the time required to acquire information necessary to
develop a recruitment brochure with your assistance, the process for Client to confirm and approve the
recommended candidates, the establishment of the final interview dates, and the actual interview process
itself. Holidays, vacations, and aviation conference schedules need to be considered as well.
A potential timetable is shown below. If additional flexibility is required, ADK will work with Client to
develop appropriate changes.
Phase 1: ADK Brochure Development, Posting & Candidate Pool Development 4-5 weeks
Phase 2: ADK Screening 2-2.5 weeks
Phase 3: Client Screening TBD
Phase 4: Final Interviews: Notification / travel planning and interviews TBD

candidates to reconsider their application.
