It has been our privilege to work with a number of public library systems by helping them find their next Library Director, Fiscal Officer, or Human Resources leader.

As these are high-profile and critical positions in your Library, you need a partner with proven library recruiting expertise in sourcing qualified candidates and facilitating the screening and selection process. We bring a unique perspective to our work because we have experience in all Human Resources disciplines as well as recruiting, which means you get:

  • Years of experience recruiting executive-level talent and knowing how to locate and engage with top talent.
  • A sensible approach to engaging with the labor market for talent, whether through our broad network of library and public-sector professionals or using the newest technology tools to connect with talent.
  • Experience working with Library senior management, trustees, and community stakeholders to ensure all constituencies who have input are heard.
  • A diverse pool of talent reflecting the needs of your community, staff, and other stakeholders.
  • Guidance on how to develop a job description so that you can clearly convey what the role is about.
  • Accurate compensation data based on our extensive experience benchmarking library positions so that you know what an appropriate compensation package should look like.
  • Providing you with a robust screening and selection process so that you are learning the most about candidates and how they would be successful in the role.
