Hiring the right talent is as critical to university planning as determining curriculum or raising endowment funds. In today’s competitive landscape, it is imperative to hire college and university leaders who bring with them an understanding of the complex academic environment and have the ability to inspire others to work together to enhance the effectiveness of their community.
Founded in 1999, the Higher Education practice serves institutions ranging from small, privately-held college and faith-based universities, to large, world renown schools. EFL Associates has successfully assisted clients in identifying and attracting top-notch academic officers for the positions of Chancellor, President, Provost, Deans, and significant administrative roles.
The most effective way to assemble a top leadership team is to partner with an outside management consultant who can lend expert advice and guidance. EFL Associates’ Higher Education Practice has grown to become one of the largest academic search practices in the country. Our consultants apply their years of higher education leadership experience to design collaborative search processes that suit the dynamics of each unique client.
We are accustomed to working collaboratively with our higher education clients to design processes that suit the dynamics, the goals, and the constraints of the project at hand. To assist with the dissemination and evaluation of candidate information, EFL Associates invested in and makes available to all clients, an electronic platform known as Consensus® Search Support System that allows Search Committee members instant access to all candidate information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This electronic platform provides candidates and Search Committee members access from any web browser worldwide in a secure, online environment. Search Committee members have the ability to collectively rank candidates from strongest to weakest before meeting to discuss candidates in person, saving valuable time as well as promoting more collaborative decisions.
