The meeting of the search committee began at 7:10 pm at the church.
Committee Attendees: Von Oliver, Laura Bratcher, Allison Steineker, and Rob Saxton. No guests were present at the meeting.
The committee discussed the following:
- Our job opening has now been posted at four of the six Bible Colleges on our initial marketing list. Follow up efforts are underway for the two remaining colleges.
- As of today, the Search Team has received several resumes for the Senior Minister position.
- The team scores each and every resume using a standardized scoring matrix.
- The anticipated process for advancing lead candidates will be:
a. Resume screen
b. Application and written questionnaire
c. Phone interview
d. In person interview
(Not all candidates will advance through each of these steps. Candidates can fall out at any step. Only the strongest candidates would move beyond these steps.)
- Rob will draft an employment application and written questionnaire, based on discussion in the meeting this evening, for the team to review. The final version of each will be sent to those candidates who have a strong resume. We are in the process of sending out questionnaires this week. The candidates will be asked to complete these documents and return them to the search team within one week of receipt.
- Von will begin work to draft interview questions that can be used on phone interviews and in person interviews later in the process.
- The search team will continue to access its email box on the RVCC website to score and review resumes on an on-going basis, as the resumes are received.
The meeting ended at 8:40 p.m. The next committee meeting will be held at the church on Monday, August 16th at 7:00 pm.
