New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
Would love to get your advice (or referral) on best way to find an experienced super, whose duties will overlap with those of a porter. We are a 75-unit, new-construction, non-union condo. We have a staff of 5 total (1 full-time live-in super, 3 full-time doormen, 1 part-time porter). Many of the super's responsibilities overlap with the duties of the porter, so it's challenging to sell this position as a true super, as many candidates we've seen are more managers of a staff, rather than get-your-hands-dirty, working supers. Also, we have a 1-bedroom apartment to offer the super, so the option to have a family live on the premises is limited. It would be very helpful if you could share any tactics for finding some good candidates.

Also, you can contact the Superintendent's Technical Association to see if they have any members who would be interested in interviewing. (http://www.superstechnicalassociation.org/)
