There may come a time or circumstance when your institution needs to temporarily staff a senior level position with an interim administrator. When this happens, it is imperative to quickly identify someone with the necessary knowledge, experience, and skills to successfully lead and manage in the position. Effective interim administrators are professionals with previous senior level experience who can promptly understand and adapt to the culture, vision, mission, and goals of your institution.
Identifying the right person for your institution requires a thoughtful, thorough, and rapid review process. NASPA Interim Executive Placement Services, powered by Keeling & Associates, accomplishes exactly that. Our services are directly led and managed by senior consultants who have served in the type of position for which your institution is searching. Richard P.

Our approach is personal, conversational, and acutely tuned to the needs and expectations of your institution.
A senior consultant will partner with you to define and assess what is required of a successful interim. This includes detailing roles and responsibilities, position scope and portfolio, accountability, reporting lines and structure, anticipated term, and salary and benefits. The senior consultant will then work diligently to compare your institution’s needs with the roster of qualified administrators who comprise our candidate pool. We present only those candidates who have undergone an extensive review, meet the needs and expectations of your institution, and have confirmed an interest in the position.
