Superintendent Search Service Overview
The selection process will proceed through several stages. Our
role will be to assist you
through those stages with a minimum of repetition or delay.
In outline form, the
process includes the following steps:
Development of criteria for selection
Formal advertising and informal contacts to
produce a list of applicants
Review of applications and selection of
candidates
Screening Criteria
Interview process
Selection of top candidates
Negotiation of terms of employment and
development of contract
Final selection and introduction to the
community
We offer a variety of search approaches designed to meet your
special needs. Our three
most popular approaches are:
 Traditional
Superintendent Search
This process is normally completed within four months and includes
traditional advertising / announcement methods.
Expedited
Superintendent Search
Recommended in circumstances where a Board wishes to complete this
responsibility as
quickly as possible. This process does not make use of the traditional
advertising/
announcement methods. The search can be completed as much as two (2) months
prior to the completion of the traditional search.
By
Invitation Only
In this process the Board meets with the Consultant to receive input on the
qualities which the Board believes are most essential in the make-up of the
new Superintendent. The Consultant brings to the Board a number of
candidate portfolios which the Board reviews and narrows to the number the
Board wishes to interview. The Board then interviews the finalists, narrows
the group further and may visit the communities of the finalists. The Board
then interviews the finalists and makes its selection.
All searches include the development of a research/Board-based
analysis of the role of the Superintendent.
