Higher education
can transform societies
Higher education has an important role in transforming societies through its ability to create opportunity for students and solve the most important challenges and questions of our time through its research.
Higher education recruitment for universities and colleges is a unique challenge and requires a customized sourcing strategy. The complex dynamics of university departments, search committees, the decentralized structure, and the appreciation for how funds are allocated are just a few of the unique hurdles facing higher education institutions when hiring talent.
As an experienced search partner
for universities, we do know...
- The way higher education institutions function at all organisational levels
- The need for attracting very specialized and skilled talents
- How to identify, contact and motivate high-level candidates internationally
- The procedures related to the use of selection committees as well as search committees
We have references for positions on all levels at university institutions.
Associate Professor
A university needed to find an associate professor within a narrow field of expertise.
An extensive international candidate search was performed, and relevant candidates motivated for the job.
The search created a great awareness for the position and the university. Many informants helped forward the open position in their own network within their specialized field.
Applications were received from candidates around the world. Some had heard about the position on second or third hand because of the awareness the search had created.
A selection committee was formed, and a candidate selected.
