Analysis of Institutional Needs

Each search begins with a pre-search study in which Academic Search spends extensive time on campus, researching the distinctive history, culture, strengths, and challenges of your institution. We listen carefully to key stakeholders--including trustees, faculty, students, staff, alumni, and community leaders.

 

Your consultant will work with the search committee to develop a position profile that includes:

  • A presentation of the institution’s distinctive strengths;
  • An analysis of the opportunities and priorities facing the institution, and
  • A description of the specific attributes and leadership characteristics sought in the successful candidate.

The search profile becomes a critical tool in the generation of candidates through individual recruitment, national distribution, and website posting at Academic Search.
