In our continuing quest for global connectivity, I am delighted to announce that ASI has recently become a member of IIC Partners Executive Search Worldwide. IIC Partners was formed in Europe during the mid-1980s, anticipating the needs of internationally competitive companies to access a world-class executive talent pool serving the emerging global economy.

Today, IIC Partners is placed among the top 10 global search organizations by revenue. With Academic Search International joining IIC Partners, the organisation now has 56 offices worldwide, providing instant access to 38 leading nations. A global matrix of independent search firms, IIC Partners members are leaders in their local markets. They employ best practices to ensure consistency and excellence in every assignment.

What does this mean for ASI clients?

As you know, ASI’s specialisation is exclusively the Higher Education sector. One advantage for our clients is that several other member firms of IIC Partners also operate in this sector, but are located in other parts of the world, including the USA, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, The Netherlands, Finland, France and Italy. While we have always had good access to candidates in these regions, with changing times, it is becoming increasingly important to add depth to our candidate pool.

Another advantage for ASI’s clients is that from time to time our clients ask us whether we have the capacity to undertake searches for non-academic positions. The answer to that is yes - IIC Partners have expertise through 9 practice groups:

- Board Directors
- Consumer & Retail
- Energy
- Financial Services
- Higher Education
- Industrial
- Infrastructure
- Life Sciences
- Technology

Each practice group is a global network of IIC Partners search professionals with extensive experience gained both by working in that specific sector and in serving its executive talent requirements.

IIC Partners is structured to deploy local knowledge and industry expertise simultaneously at several locations around the world. Today, there is one global economy, and whether your university or institution operates globally, nationally or locally, it aims to compete at an international level. Whether your executive search needs are local or international, Academic Search International, as a member firm of IIC Partners, is structured to find the high quality talent you need to succeed in the global economy.
