An Impressive 7-Week Turnaround For Candidate Placement!

We are delighted to announce Connor Associates’ impressive success with a recent candidate search and placement. Thom Greenlaw, Strategic Partner for Search Services, was asked to find a new CFO for a Boston Area School with a very short three-month turnaround. He not only met that goal, but exceeded it by sourcing three excellent candidates and helped the school to extend an offer in just 7 weeks. It can often take several months to conduct a search and place a leadership candidate.

We are in the second season of hiring and placement and we are here to help schools during this transition.
— Thom Greenlaw, Finance and Operations Strategic Partner

Connor Associates Offers Boutique and Personable Search Services

Thom Greenlaw is known to uniquely offer schools a boutique and personable experience that helps drive the results the schools seek. This personalization and  service is often only available at agencies or firms demanding a large percentage of candidate salary as part of the fee structure. Recently, one Connor Associates client called out Thom's staffing and recruiting talents: “Thom brings a wealth of expertise and experience to his engagements, both of which were helpful as he conducted an audit of our Business Office in advance of a planned leadership transition. I also appreciated having him as a thought partner as I considered different ways to staff the office and to follow up on action items from the audit. His insights provide a roadmap that will help our Business Office run better and smoothly throughout this critical period.”
