A Talk with John Isaacson
Why Choose IM?

Why should a potential client choose Isaacson, Miller over another search firm?

Clients choose us because we are unique in our civic commitment. Other firms compete in this field but they compete in specialties, such as independent schools, with one or two specialties per firm. We recruit for independent school heads and one of our partners led a major independent school. But we also serve the whole K-12 education field, including education school deans, urban public school superintendents, educational advocacy groups, charter school companies, and foundations working in education.

In most firms there are only a few lonely people in specialized practices who do our work. In this firm, we are committed to the entire civic enterprise, to all of the fields and all of the functions. It gives our recruiters a 360-degree angle of vision. We truly believe that our jobs have to contribute to the civic infrastructure and we share with our clients and our successful candidates a formidable value commitment to the sector.
