What if an interim professional has an interest in the placement position? If the City would like to extend an offer of permanent employment to the interim professional, how does that work?

Most of SGR’s candidate pool consists of retirees, who generally do not have an interest in accepting a permanent position. On some occasions, however, once an interim begins an assignment, it rekindles their desire for public service, and they would consider a permanent position.

For organization mangers affected by a transition, interim assignments are more of a “try before you buy” scenario. If there is a mutual interest at the end of an assignment, the city would express, in writing, their intent to terminate the contract, pay a placement fee, and the interim professional would become a part of their organization.
