Arkansas using search firms to assist search and to vet candidates
The University of Arkansas has hired consultants to help vet candidates for the athletic director opening, and over the weekend they hired another firm to assist in finding the next head football coach.
Executive search firm DHR International is currently working with interim athletic director Julie Cromer Peoples in the search for the football coach. They ‘engaged’ with DHR this past weekend. It isn’t a sudden change-of-direction on a Tuesday.
“This past weekend we engaged with DHR International to work with us on our head football coach search,” Cromer Peoples stated. “DHR International has an excellent reputation in our business and has already provided tremendous assistance to us in this process. With the number of vacant coaching positions in our league and around the nation, it is important that we move forward expeditiously and efficiently in finding the next head football coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks.”
Arkansas has hired consultants from Korn Ferry to aid the University of Arkansas, including Chancellor Joesph E. Steinmetz and the search committee, in vetting candidates for the AD position.
“The search for an athletics director is progressing quickly and there are a number of talented individuals we are considering,” Steinmetz stated. “The input from the advisory committee has been invaluable. They truly represent the passion our state has for the Razorbacks and understand the importance of this position. The consultants will help us complete the evaluation process. We understand speed is of the essence and are working to name a new leader as quickly as possible.”
