Our Services

Leadership transitions can be both energizing and stressful times for institutional communities. We strive to guide leaders and institutions through these changes from the placement of the leader to support throughout the leadership life cycle.

  • Executive Search

    We were founded by higher education leaders as the first search practice dedicated to solely serving colleges and universities and related organizations. Our search process is both proven and adaptable, tailored specifically to the distinct requirements of each position. We listen to the important stakeholders’ voices to understand the needs for the role and conduct in-depth discussions with candidates, fostering engagement and alignment between the institution and potential appointee.

  • Transition and Onboarding

    Our support for leadership transitions goes beyond the placement of the leader. We also assist in creating strategic transition and onboarding plans to ensure smooth and successful transitions for newly appointed leaders. We work with the leader and the institution to develop a comprehensive and well-planned process for introducing and integrating the new leader to the campus and external community.

  • Executive Coaching

    Academic Search has long been committed to enhancing presidential and executive effectiveness and capacity through executive coaching. Our Executive Coaching Practice is designed to make strong leaders stronger. Our coaches serve as trusted companions and guides, committed to helping the executives with whom we work accomplish their leadership and institutional goals. This partnership is an invaluable investment in institutional vitality and well-being as much as it is an investment in the executive.
