TS Assists Indian Wells with Recruitment Effort
“Tripepi Smith changed my worldview on the hunt for talent,” Kevin McCarthy, finance director at the 
City of Indian Wells, said of his work with the firm to find a new assistant finance director to add to his team.
Kevin’s agency, City of Indian Wells, tapped Tripepi Smith to broaden its reach about the job opening. After designing a series of graphics and writing a compelling job description, the team distributed the message in local government newsletters, publications and job boards. Tripepi Smith also curated digital placements on LinkedIn and Facebook over several weeks.
“Tripepi Smith translated our need for an assistant finance director into a compelling call for talent–it was amazing,” Kevin continued. “They found us the perfect person for our organization, and she has made a huge difference to the City of Indian Wells.”
Principal Ryder Todd Smith conceived of the outreach plan and received help executing on it from Junior Business Analyst Saara Lampwalla.
“Job boards have made the job posting game a commodity service. To stand out, public agencies need to go the extra mile to demonstrate the impact of a position and the opportunity is offers to potential candidates. Compelling graphics, a well-written story and proper story distribution are all important to connect with local government talent,” commented Ryder Todd Smith, president of Tripepi Smith.
The City later went on to engage Tripepi Smith for ongoing communications support, spanning social media, design/layout for its newsletter, an audit of its communications, video production and infographic design.
