Collegiate Sports Associates President Drew Turner joins the High Octane Leadership podcast and discusses CSA’s evolution from a boutique executive search to a broader academic leadership recruitment company and the importance of maintaining the relationship-driven culture that made it successful. Turner notes that “on August 1, we’ll officially launch our new academics division. We realized there was only so much room to grow in college athletics. There are only so many Division I schools, only so many AD and coaching jobs that open each year. To keep growing, we had to look beyond athletics. Our trusted relationships with boards of trustees and presidents – the very people who ultimately hire new ADs and coaches – positioned us to help with provosts, deans, and even presidents. We’ve been laying the groundwork for nearly a year, hiring Charlie Kaylor to lead the division. He’s been in academic search for over 15 years. We wanted to make sure the infrastructure was ready before we told the world. This isn’t a pivot; it’s an expansion into a space that aligns with our relationships and expertise.” Turner goes on to remark that “there are four things clients should demand when they hire a search firm. First, do they have the experience to manage searches of this magnitude? … Second, do they have the relationships and networks to really know what candidates are like beyond the interview process? Anybody can look good in a three‑month interview, but our team has worked inside higher ed and athletics, so we know the reality behind the résumés. Third, responsiveness and communication. These searches move fast — nights, weekends, holidays — and you can’t afford silence. Our clients know they won’t wait long for a call or email back. And fourth, do you actually enjoy working with them? We tell people, check our references. … We’re a boutique firm, so when you hire us, you’re working directly with the people you met in the interview – not handed off to someone else. Those four things are what we live every day, and that’s why we’ve grown.” Lots more. (link)
