City Manager and City Administrator Executive Search Services
At EverStrive Solutions, we help local governments build the leadership teams they need to thrive.
Our executive search services for city managers and city administrators are designed by former municipal executives who understand the demands and nuances of public sector leadership. We don’t just fill vacancies - we help shape the future of your community.
What We Offer
Community-Led Process: We start by listening - through stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and council conversations - to ensure we understand your community’s unique needs.
Streamlined Search: Our efficient process typically delivers a final candidate for council consideration within 12–14 weeks, minimizing disruptions and keeping your organization moving forward.
