HSVPOA Board sent out a “Board Blast” to Property Owners regarding the hiring process for the General Manager position on January 28, 2021. This is what they said:
“The HSV POA Board of Directors has extended a tentative offer for an interim General Manager. The individual would remain in that position while the Board seeks qualified candidates for a permanent General Manager. The name of the interim General Manager will be released when the hiring process has been completed.
“Moving forward, below are the steps that the Board, guided by HSV POA Human Resources, will follow in the recruiting and hiring process. These steps are carefully defined by HSV POA Human Resources guidelines and policies, as well as state and federal laws.
- The existing General Manager job description has been updated and approved by the Board.
- In compliance with HSV POA policy, the General Manager position will be posted internally for a period of 5 days, for any interested internal POA staff members. “Internal” refers to current POA staff.
- After the General Manager position has been posted internally and internal candidates evaluated, the Board retains the option to seek additional candidates via a third-party executive recruiting firm to be identified, if warranted.
- The executive recruiting firm/HR will present the top three candidates to the board for consideration.
- The interview process with the Board will commence.
- The Board of Directors will select first and second choice candidates, and the executive recruiting firm/HR will begin negotiations with the first-choice candidate.”

A recruiter does not know the uniqueness of the Village. I doubt that new management staff have a good handle of our uniqueness. Please let our residents know what it Will cost to use an executive recruiting firm. My career has been HR.

Why don’t we wait until the new board is seated before choosing a permanent new general manager. The current board is hamstrung due to having five openings on a seven member board. The new board will be the ones who will have to work with the new GM. That only stands to reason.
Whoever is going to work with the new GM should have the opportunity to select them.

Wait for all the board to be put together before you hire a new GM. It is not right for the few true board we have left to approve a new GM, let the people of the Village speak first by casting their votes for new board members then you will have a true board that was voted on by the people, less complaints that way!

It’s just common sense that the candidates for the new GM position be scrutinized by the newly elected BOD. It’s obvious by most anyone who has experience in recruiting for such a critical position that the newly elected BOD Members have an opportunity to provide input.
I ask the BOD to postpone the hiring of our new GM until the newly elected BOD Members are seated.
Thank you.

The big-salaries scheme is not working for whatever reason. How about hiring the interim general manager on a short-term basis at a suitable hourly wage. If he or she shows signs of doing a good job a more traditional contract can be offered. No more pigs in a poke.

These people are showing their incompetence again and again and again.
No hurry.
Wait for the new board members.
No one who does any research at all will want this job.
No one.
