A major factor for our firm’s success is that every search is valued and given unique attention. We steadfastly resist conducting competing searches at the same time… clients should not feel that they are being given pools of candidates who have been spurned by other clients.

Our Principles and Philosophy

Your searches are important to us! We treat each of our assignments with special care and attention and never undertake directly similar searches at the same time to avoid any conflicts of interest. You can be sure we are presenting the best candidates available - not those rejected by other clients

Our Relationship

As facilitator of the search process, we view our relationship with you as a partnership. While we expect to enhance the pool of candidates and provide our best counsel throughout the process, we recognize that decisions regarding selection of short list and final candidates reside solely with you. We believe that our record of successfully completed searches reflects our ability to engender consensus through constructive interaction with the committees with which we have worked.

Our Commitment

Ours is not a commodity business, rather we are a national firm that only conducts searches in the higher education world and only at the highest levels. We undertake only those searches where we have significant experience and which we feel confident we can successfully complete for our clients.
