Services for Colleges & Universities  

Proven. Respected. Connected.

As one of the country's most specialized search firms, SJG — The Spelman & Johnson Group focuses solely on administrative positions within higher education. Each day, we work in partnership with institutions throughout the United States to identify and recruit the leaders who will guide their organizations for years to come.

In many ways, our clients trust us to help shape their institution's future. We have earned that trust by displaying a dedicated commitment to service, respect, and professionalism for more than 15 years. We look forward to earning your trust as well.

It's about experience.

Since 1991, SJG has placed hundreds of administrators in colleges and universities throughout the United States. Our principals have more than 25 years of higher education administration search experience. We've been in your shoes — and we know what it takes to find the right individual to fill even the most challenging open positions.

It's about service.

We don't just talk about service — we live it. From initial phone contact to successful hire, we work hard to make your role in the search process as efficient and focused as possible. Throughout every SJG search engagement, we place particular emphasis on clear communication, meticulous preparation and consistent follow-through.

It's about time.

When you have an open position to fill it can be difficult to remain objective and focused in the face of deadlines and evolving priorities. That's a primary reason institutions retain a search firm to begin with, and it's an area where SJG delivers on every level. With our focus on higher education administration, we bring a level of objectivity and selectivity to the table that generalist search firms simply cannot match.
