An ISM Executive Search Service supports the most important hiring decision a school makes—and helps you plan the process.

What We Do

Our dual-pronged approach begins with a strategic assessment, followed by Search Committee training. The assessment provides a clear picture of the current strengths and challenges of your school, as well as a road map for turning the school you have into the school you want. The assessment includes finances, facilities, enrollment, development, marketing, and other areas crucial to the success of your school and new Head.

Then we’ll prepare you to choose the person who can get you there, including:

• Defining the characteristics of your ideal Head, given your strategic plan
• Developing effective advertisements and planning placement in appropriate publications and journals
• Communication with applicants
• Preliminary screening approaches
• Interviewing tactics
• Setting a time line for action, including identification of the role of each committee member
• Follow up—establishing the new Head’s “success story”

Benefit to You

You get the Head who is the best fit for your mission.
