Liverpool Council wants to complete a search for new senior leaders by the spring.
In the aftermath of the damaging Caller Report, commissioners have been appointed to oversee the cash-strapped local authority, which has found it difficult to recruit senior staff. As a result, key posts like chief executive and chief finance officer are currently being filled by interim place holders Theresa Grant and Ian Duncan.
It was revealed on Wednesday the council is looking to appoint seven top director positions on salaries totalling almost £900,000. A new local authority report has set out when the new key staff could be in post at the Cunard Building.
