What People Are Saying About... President Searches

"As the presidential search liaison to the board of trustees at Grays Harbor College, it was a pleasure to work with Dr. Donny Hunter. He is a true professional in every sense of the word.  The step-by-step process he used resulted in a very smooth search. Dr. Hunter’s excellent advice, assistance, intensive recruiting, attention to detail, and his extensive network helped us have over 80 contacts regarding the position and a strong pool of more than 60 candidates. The 'one page' reference checks provided to the Board are excellent tools in getting the 'right leadership fit' for the college."

"We have been very pleased with our search for a new President for Bates Technical College.  Dr. Donny Hunter served as the consultant to the Board and did an outstanding job. The process he recommended to the Board was very effective and his work was truly professional in every way.  With his help we were able to build a much larger pool of applicants than we expected and as a result were able to provide the Board excellent candidates for their consideration.  Our search was open, honest, and ethical and we are very pleased with the results."

"In the recent search for a President of the College of the Albemarle, we used Hockaday-Hunter and Associates as the consulting firm. We had ninety-six applicants who expressed interest in the position. We simply could not have done this search without the help of their consultant, who had great skills in recruiting good candidates and in working with a large Board of Trustees and several constituent groups."

"The entire recruiting process that led to my move from Lee College in Texas to the Presidency of Santa Fe Community College in Florida was extremely well done. Hockaday-Hunter and Associates is an outstanding search company and Dr. Hunter and Dr. Hockaday are consummate professionals. I was treated, as were the two colleges, in the highest professional manner. They attended to every detail of the process, responded to every inquiry and made the transition go without any rough spots."
