EXECUTIVE SEARCH vs. RECRUITMENT
Utilizing an executive search for presidential searches has been standard practice for a long time. In recent years, firms are using this process for positions of Director, Assistant Vice Presidents, Deans, etc. Bare-Bones Recruiting's experience is that what colleges, universities, and nonprofits want -- and need -- for these positions is intense recruitment. Not broad executive search services.
This is the need that Bare-Bones Recruiting looks to fill. We trust that the organization has the experience and expertise to write an advertisement, conduct interviews, and evaluate candidates.
Our focus is to recruit candidates that provide a strong and broad applicant pool. We spend our days on the phone calling to encourage the best matches to apply, broadly emailing to make candidates aware of the opening, working with professional organizations, and using our network to solicit nominations and referrals.
