January 30, 2025
About ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ: Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ is a provincial co-operative association of education providers - the only one of its kind in Canada. Our mission is to champion Nova Scotia as a leader in the international student experience while advancing social and economic growth in the province. Its membership is comprised of colleges, universities, language schools and K-12 public and independent schools that work together to bring students from all over the world to Nova Scotia - to study, stay and thrive. You can find out more about us here: /about-edunova/.
Services Requested: We are beginning the process of hiring a new President and Chief Executive Officer. To ensure we recruit the right individual to lead ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ into its next chapter, we are seeking the support, guidance, and expertise from an executive search firm with national reach, particularly those with experience in sourcing talent for leadership roles in the education or related and non-profit sectors.
The selected firm will be responsible for working with and guiding the Search Committee in all stages of recruitment (including job description review, job posting actively sourcing candidates, etc.), selection (short-listing candidates, creating interview materials, conducting assessments (if needed) etc.) and contract negotiation with the final selected candidate.
Submission: At this stage, we do not require a formal proposal given our committee’s familiarity with the executive search process. However, if you wish to include information with your quote that would deepen our understanding of your firm’s approach, similar experience, team, and/or anything else you think helps us to better understand your quote, please include it with your submission.
We welcome quotes and background materials (as desired) from interested parties by February 6th, 2025, EOD to admin@edunova.ca.
If you have any questions prior to submitting your interest, please contact Jill Lobo (Executive Assistant) at admin@edunova.ca.
Disclaimer: This RFQ is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. Once appointed, the selected firm and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ will sign a formal agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the engagement.
