tesNmonials

Weinbaum Yeshiva ol High Scho

“Working with the YU School Partnership to find a new

head of school eliminated much of the guesswork and

hurdles that are ojen associated with placing a leader.

“Their highly professional team of experts helped us idenNfy the best candidates faster than we could have done ourselves, offered invaluable coaching to our search commihee and candidates that kept the process on track, and were a huge help in creaNng a compensaNon structure that was very fair for both parNes.

“Consultants are brought in to deliver results, and the results of the process speak for themselves as we were able to hire a fantasNc head of school that is doing great things for our school and community. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t express hearuelt graNtude for the process itself, which was focused, well organized, and rewarding.”
