Funding for this Contract is included in the Health Services

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONSIBACKGROUND:
In order to recruit qualified individuals for its vacant
positions, particularly in the area of direct patient care, the
Health Services Department places advertisements in such media as
newspapers and professional journals. In the past, the
recruitment effort has been carried out, on an as needed basis,
by employees in the Department's Personnel Office and the cost
paid through the County's Purchasing Department.
In an effort to streamline the recruitment function and to take
advantage of cost savings made possible by group rates, the
Department is recommending approval of Contract #23-162 with
Garcia Advertising and Communications. This Contractor will
develop recruitment ads and arrange for their placement in
appropriate newspapers and professional journals at lower rates
than the Department can obtain on its own.
