The Voice Of Our Clients

"The Cook team has been fantastic for Corinthian. They take the time to understand fit and culture, unlike so many firms that can be so transactional. We’ve done several very important searches with Cook over the last 12 months, and we’ve been happy with each search and, more importantly, each addition to our team."
-Steve Quattrociocchi President, Online Learning, Corinthian Colleges, Inc.

Consultant Expertise:
As a search firm of choice for public and private for-profit educational systems, our consultants have a wealth of experience recruiting top leaders who have had a demonstrable impact delivering results and making a difference. We have successfully completed assignments for roles including Presidents, Regional Vice Presidents, Chief Academic Officers, Student Finance, and Student Services across the U.S. Our experience has allowed us to develop a series of proprietary matrices that includes the very best executive talent at the campus, regional and corporate levels.

Strategic Approach:
Since we speak with executives in this industry every day, at all levels and across many institutions, we have a unique perspective on attitudes, tendencies, and in some instances, insights about pending or recent changes in educational organizations.

Through Cook's proprietary database, sponsored industry surveys, and our intellectual capital in this sector, we have created a set of operations' matrices that has identified top performers in key functional roles within all areas of this industry segment. Our consultants meticulously filter prospective candidates on the basis of team building, managerial & communication skills, and leadership attributes. This rigorous assessment coupled with our proprietary search process ensures a successful search result.
