The Most Important Decision a Board Ever Makes!!

You make many important decisions as a board member, but none more important than deciding the future of your school district.  Recruiting and selecting a new superintendent is the most important decision a Board of Education ever makes.

We don’t hire superintendents.  We provide a decision-making process that allows you as board members to focus your time and attention on selecting the best superintendent for your district.  Our mission is to provide your board a hassle-free superintendent search.  We will take care of all the drudgery, which will free you to concentrate on the decision-making process.

McPherson & Jacobson has designed a protocol which allows the board to concentrate on the most important aspect, the interview and selection of the successful candidate.  Simply stated, our team of consultants, working in conjunction with the board, will design a turnkey process that will culminate in the hiring of the most qualified candidate.

Recruiting Quality Candidates

The shortage of highly qualified candidates has hit epidemic proportions.  McPherson & Jacobson will help you identify and recruit top-quality candidates.  We work solely for Boards of Education.  We do not represent candidates.  However, once the board has decided the skills, qualities and characteristics the new superintendent should possess, we will actively recruit candidates who most closely meet your identified criteria.

McPherson & Jacobson has numerous consultants across the United States.
We are constantly on the lookout for quality administrators and follow their careers.  We maintain a database of quality administrators from which we will recruit on your behalf.

Screening Applicants

The consultants at McPherson & Jacobson are experts in recruiting and screening applicants.  When screening candidates we’ll "leave no stone unturned."  When we present final candidates to the board, we know more about them than they would like us to know.  Our reputation as professional recruiters allows us to get information about candidates quicker and in more depth than can individual board members.

Confidentially is of prime concern in our process.  To attract top candidates, we treat all applications with the utmost confidentiality.  Our goal is to help secure the best possible educational leader for every district we represent and to assure the fair and ethical treatment of every candidate.  Applying through a private firm allows candidates’ names to be confidential up until they are selected as a finalist.

Our Service is Guaranteed!!

We are so confident in our ability to identify the district’s criteria, and select and screen candidates against those criteria, we guarantee our service.
If the person selected leaves, for whatever reason, we will repeat the process for no charge except actual expenses.  If the new superintendent becomes ill or disabled or chooses to leave during the guarantee period, we will repeat the search process.
