LISTEN

First, we listen. We listen to you about your organization, its mission and goals, and what you need from your next arts executive.

DEVELOP POSITION DESCRIPTION

With you, we collectively develop a prospectus / position description that will provide an overview of your organization, speak to your needs, and help to draw ideal candidates.

ASSEMBLE APPLICANTS

We’ll disseminate the position prospectus to targeted organizations and leaders while simultaneously recruiting proactively throughout P/B‘s extensive networks for leaders who might fit your organization’s needs and mission.

VET

Based on P/B‘s understanding of both your organization and the industry, we’ll develop and deliver a curated group of prospective leaders.

TABULATE SEARCH RESULTS

We’ll provide all search materials to your committee and provide a method for tabulating committee preferences in an easy-to-use and secure interface.

ARRANGE VISITS AND DEVELOP METHODS FOR ENSURING FIT

Once a final list of prospective leaders has been developed, we can arrange for visits and work with you to create additional evaluative methods that will test a leader’s fit within your organization.

FACILITATE OFFER PROCESS

We can navigate with you the offer process and, if desired, negotiate with the leader a compensation package that secures the talent while meshing with your financial landscape.
