Academic Search offers executive search services to higher education institutions, associations, and related organizations. Since our inception, we have completed more than 2,600 executive searches, including more than 900 presidential searches. The value we bring to our partner institutions is recognized; 59% of our searches over the last five years have originated from existing or former partner institutions who re-engage our organization after an initial successful experience. We are proud to have been named to Hunt Scanlon’s list of top 40 most prominent executive search firms serving the higher education sector and top 50 recruiters across all industry sectors.
