Leodas Search Group worked with a high-profile university in a large northeastern city on a challenging search for an associate dean of development and alumni relations for its engineering school.

After more than 1,000 phone calls, we located the ideal candidate – a superstar in her position, but one who seemed unlikely on paper because she was a lifelong southerner at a regional public university.

Our process revealed not only her high level of success, but also her ties to engineering and the ease with which she would make the move. This highly successful recruit is now a superstar in her new environment.
