The City of Neodesha is partnering with a private company to help recruit qualified applicants to fill city positions.

At yesterday's meeting, the city commission approved a contract with the company NEOGOV to help recruit and screen candidates. Commissioners acknowledged the challenges the city has faced in hiring positions such as linemen and fire/EMS operators. City Administrator Eddy Truelove says the company will advertise positions to a national audience and save time in screening applicants.

In other business, commissioners scheduled a special call meeting for this Friday for the unexpired term of Commissioner Nichol. Several letters of interest have been received to fill the position.
