Academic Search offers executive search services to higher education institutions, associations, and related organizations. Since our inception, we have completed more than 2,200 executive searches, including more than 685 presidential, vice presidential, and dean searches over the past five years. 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.
