Executive & Administrative Searches
Click here to learn about current searches!
Big River Group supports leadership and administrative searches for school districts, non-profits and private businesses. Our approach is unique and personalized to the organization and position being sought.
Resumes & standard interviews are the most unreliable, yet most often-used sources of data regarding applicants. We use a more effective search system that brings new order and elements to searches by using tools and strategies from executive searches in private business. We have a clear and consistent set of steps that reduces search time, allows for more reliable ranking and selection of candidates, uses more accurate interviewing techniques, and promotes a better match between the employer’s needs and the eventual finalist.
We work with you to:
-
Identify necessary preparation for the process

Work effectively to assemble and prepare an interview team
-
Develop priorities, questions, rubrics and scoresheets
-
Effectively screening applicants to select interviewees
-
Develop and implement the interview process
