Component Search
Appreciating that colleges and schools of nursing must prioritize resources for service delivery, and particularly during this time as COVID-19 impacts budgets in an unprecedented way, Hollander Search offers component search services as a cost-effective alternative to a traditional executive search.
Component search allows clients to custom-build their search process by matching our services to their specific needs, capacities, and budgets. Clients are able to increase their capacity by utilizing us to perform those components for which our expertise and networks provide the greatest leverage while other components are handled internally. In this way, we form a close working partnership that lets us share resources, leverage existing abilities among staff and faculty members, and reduce the overall cost of talent acquisition.
Clients may avail themselves of any executive search services that we provide, and can select precisely which components Hollander Search will perform versus those the client will perform. Under this model, several searches for closely related positions can be conducted concurrently for the same base fees. Pricing is available upon request.
