Welcome

Auerbach Associates specializes in executive search for institutions that serve the public good and are essential to creating an educated citizenry. Our clients are colleges and universities, health care, and other not-for-profit organizations — organizations that are increasingly turning to outside consultants for help in recruiting outstanding leaders. We work at the highest levels of an organization and in a broad range of areas.

Together, we have decades of varied experience. Our list of searches and clients is substantial, and our approach combines recruiting with the organizational consulting that logically precedes and follows any major addition to the professional staff of an institution. We attend to both sides of the recruiting equation in a consistent and careful fashion, and we are particularly attentive to issues of professional access for women and people of color.

We take great pride in bringing forward exceptional candidates who often are not actively seeking new positions. We play a highly consultative role with candidates and client institutions, acting as a bridge between candidates, search committee, and appointing authority. We take responsibility for shepherding the search process from the first to the final stage, ensuring that it reflects well upon the client institution. We provide a more comprehensive range of services than an organization can provide for itself in the course of a thorough search process.
