EDC Head Hunt Not Cheap: The city as contracted with a 'head hunter' firm to try and attract and secure someone to fill the lead position on the yet to be formed Economic Development Corporation. The exact cost of the search is unknown as it is based on the salary which comes with the position. The head hunters charge 28% of the successful candidate salary, so if the position offers $100,000 the head hunter fee is $28,000. It is unlikely anyone truly qualified would earn less than $200,000 so, that finders fee could grow to $56,000 to conduct a successful executive search. This is not the kind of position you are likely to fill by running a help wanted in the local paper, hence the seemingly costly search to fill the position. The actual hiring will be done by a committee established by the Economic Development Commission, of which Mayor Ruttan is head.
