Leadership Search With New Hire Coaching and Flat Fee
Mike Connor and Thom Greenlaw, two internationally known private school consultants, are delivering a custom and school-centered approach to search and placement services for private schools. With their decades of experience at and consulting for independent schools, Mike and Thom understand that schools are now managing higher turnover and market volatility, and hosting savvier customers, stakeholders, and candidates than ever before. This directly translates to the heightened demands placed on search services, particularly in the leadership roles at a school.
Cost-Effective Strategies
Connor Associates Leadership Search prioritizes service and breaks rank from the industry by basing fees on services rendered that do not include a percentage of salary. In addition, Connor Associates offers a discount for multiple searches undertaken by the same school.
Mentoring For The Placed Candidate
The Leadership Search service does not stop once a candidate has been hired. It continues with mentoring and support for the new hire to increase the likelihood of success for both school and candidate. “We believe new hires deserve an objective and experienced mentor starting in the first year a candidate is selected by the school,” says Thom. Mentoring by Connor Associates will also ensure that the new hire will transition effectively to the school’s leadership team.
