Connecting universities with top international talent.

High quality academics are what make the Australian higher education sector so well respected around the world. Our consultants have an extensive knowledge of the sector and a passion to help universities appoint the best possible talent.

We undertake international searches for professorial-level positions, as well as for senior executive roles, including Deans, Pro-Vice-Chancellors, Deputy-Vice-Chancellors, and Directors of Institutes. Our searches provide each client university with an exceptional list of highly qualified candidates that are fully assessed and evaluated.

ASI's Australian team understands the opportunities and issues facing Australian universities and research institutes. Using our wider market intelligence, internal resources, and international links, we are able to offer advice and services tailored to the particular needs of each of our clients.

Headed by founding Director Sonia Pechner, each member of our team – Brian McMillan, Cherisse Tiu and Liz Bare – has a background in higher education and a desire to see Australian universities excel.

Whatever the recruitment need, we can adapt our approach and processes to achieve an excellent outcome. We are flexible, responsive, and focused – both in serving our clients and talking with candidates. Our reach and knowledge are truly international, but our commitment is totally Australian.
