You might want to be more detailed as to what your offering. Also as to what the duties of the newly hired super are or what he/she should expect. I worked as a Non-union super for many years with no problems. Now that I am union, there is a difference. Not so much as to having the union behind you because in all honesty with or without the union if they want you out your leaving. But being part of the union has a lot of perks such as the great medical, pension and of course the educational courses that are for FREE. So if your a non-union building there's a lot that needs to be considered. You also don't want to hire someone who's going to work for a short period just to get the experience under his/her belt or to update their resume and move on to bigger and better things. In my experience and my opinion you should want to hire someone who's going or to make a long term commitment to the building. After all this person will be living with you having direct access to the residents apartments. So I personally wouldn't want a high turn over rate. Good Luck!!

Where are you placing your ads?

Is your managing agent involved in the process? Ours found us dozens of applicants, a handful of which we considered in a second round of interview, and three of which we seriously considered. (But then... ours is a union building.)

There's a website just for supers - have you advertised there?

Please let me know what kind of Superintendent you are in need of and I will ask our members, I am the Past-President of the Manhattan Resident Managers Club, Inc. and there is always someone looking for a position or knows of someone who is.

Good Luck

Mike

Our superintendent has quit, and we need to replace him with a Local 32BJ member. Our management company is sitting on their hands while the Board spreads out looking. You mentioned the NY Building Managers Association. May I ask their help as a Board member? Thank you for any leads.
Another question: we have a few resumes but I'd like to ask applicants to complete an application form which would have the same questions of all applicants, they'd need to date and sign it also. Is that common practice? Thanks again.

Can you e-mail me at jawitmolh@aol.com
