Harris Search Associates Announces Pilot Program AcademicSource

Harris Search Associates, an IIC Partners member firm, are piloting the following program – AcademicSource – a hybrid, strategic research, sourcing, and recruitment platform that unbundles some aspects of a comprehensive executive search.

This offering will include a clearly outlined process distinguished from their core search practice with defined deliverables and timelines. The platform is not a substitute for their comprehensive search process associated with the successful recruitment of Presidents, Provosts, Deans, and Vice Presidents, but will assist select institutions in a cost-effective manner to ensure that robust, diverse pools of intermediate level leadership and subject-matter expert candidates are actively recruited and initially vetted for institutional fit.

The platform will include the strategic research, sourcing and recruitment of target pools for specific positions on a defined project basis or may include an on-going retainer-based approach to develop pools of cluster hires.
