We rigorously assess each candidate’s competencies and fit, providing Potential Candidate reports with resumes, credentials, leadership philosophy, and recorded interviews.
We return to your community for in-person interviews and recruitment activities with both semifinalists and finalists, providing counsel to your search committee.

From the outset, Ms. Rossi demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and guided us through every stage of the process with remarkable insight. Her thoroughness in vetting candidates and her ability to facilitate meaningful conversations were invaluable to our final decision.
