The Acclivity's New Search Partnership Track

In an effort to address the pressing need for equity-driven hiring in higher education, The Acclivity, a distinguished leadership consultancy led by Dr. Loren M. Hill, has recently launched its innovative Search Partnership Track. This program is designed to aid executive search firms and universities in cultivating diverse and inclusive leadership teams that reflect a variety of experiences and perspectives.

Responding to a Growing Demand

The new initiative comes as more institutions recognize the importance of adopting culturally responsive hiring practices. The Acclivity's Search Partnership Track offers comprehensive support at every phase of the academic recruitment process. Services range from defining the roles and assessing institutional readiness to onboarding selected candidates for sustainable success within their new positions.

Dr. Hill articulated the crucial gap often found in institutional efforts toward diversity: “Frequently, universities express a desire for diverse leadership but neglect to develop the structures and processes necessary to facilitate this goal. Our Search Partnership Track is designed to bridge that gap.”

Comprehensive Support Services

The framework of The Acclivity's Search Partnership Track includes:
1. Strategic Consultation: Tailored guidance for search committees and hiring leaders to align decisions with institutional values.
2. Equity-Centered Role Definitions: Crafting clear and inclusive narratives about roles to attract a diverse candidate pool.
3. Stakeholder Engagement: Strategies for involving key stakeholders to ensure clarity and alignment throughout the hiring process.
4. Shortlist Evaluation: Support in assessing candidates through a diversity and equity lens to promote informed decision-making.
5. Onboarding Advisement: Recommendations for ensuring that new hires are integrated effectively into their teams for long-term success.

The addition of this track is an extension of The Acclivity's current offerings in leadership coaching and organizational culture transformation, further establishing its commitment to advancing equity in higher education.
