Executive Search Services
Executive Search Services (ESS) is a consultant service dedicated to helping districts find the perfect match in a chief executive officer (CEO) or key administrator. ESS has been conducting searches since 1988 for districts ranging in size from 100 to 197,000-plus students.
Two types of searches are offered: an application-only search, in which ESS advertises the position, collects applications, and forwards them to the client, or a complete search, consisting of the following (as specified by the client):
- Planning the search process
- Establishing selection criteria
- Identifying candidates for interviews
- Preparing for interviews
- Assisting during deliberations and selection
- Assisting with the leadership transition (CEO search only)
- Awarding continuing education credit (CEO search only)
Our guarantee: Should a newly hired administrator leave the district within one year for any reason other than a family emergency, ESS will continue or reopen the search without an additional consulting fee. |
Our statewide consultant network provides an unparalleled resource in locating and screening quality applicants. This network and the Web-based application process give our searches national exposure. The application process also makes it easy for clients to compare candidates' qualifications.
TASB members receive a free, Web-based "post-your-own" listing option for CEO positions.
We can help with superintendent and administrative positions:
- Deputy or assistant superintendent
- Chief human resources officer
- Chief instruction/curriculum officer
- Chief financial officer
- Chief operationsofficer
- Campus principal
