Occasionally, an institution needs an interim executive. It’s bound to happen to institutions every so often. From unforeseen medical leave to abrupt or unexpected departures, these situations can be unpredictable and end up leaving an empty seat within your academic institution.
You don’t want to make a hurried decision, you may have to wait until your next board meeting before you are able to execute a full search.
But in the meantime, you need someone.
This is where it makes sense to hire a search firm on a flat fee basis that will find you someone to fill the role until you can get a more long-term solution in place. A low-level search firm won’t be able to provide the caliber of talent needed for your institution, you need a top notch executive search firm that knows the market and understands your situation. Our firm will act with urgency to provide a comprehensive solution to your vacancy.
Missing someone from the top of your institution can be detrimental to long and short term initiatives, so when it’s time to find an interim executive, contact Cerberus Academic Search.
