Education

Defined by excellence and informed by experience, we provide the best value in the education market—because the costs of hiring the wrong leader and benefits of finding the right one are both enormous.

The DSG | Storbeck difference

Clients come to us, and return, for our high-quality client service and exceptional placements. Our networks span the nonprofit, private, and public sectors. We are motivated by the opportunity to advance mission-driven work, a firmwide commitment that impacts our approach and results in trusted and lasting partnerships.

  • Engaged Partners

    We are passionate about understanding your unique leadership needs and culture to determine the combination of experiences and attributes required of your next leader. Our innovative and collaborative processes, centered on equity and inclusion, will ensure candidates that are well-matched and positioned to succeed at your specific institutions now.

  • Uniquely Proactive

    Our extensive network is our starting point, not a shortcut to what we see as the actual work: an insight-driven, conversation-by-conversation approach to uncovering talent. We look in obvious and non-obvious places to connect you with candidates of outstanding ability and potential from all backgrounds.

  • Outcome-Driven

    We deliver on our promises. More than two-thirds of our work is with returning clients, and our clients’ rating of our quality is among the highest for any professional service in any industry.

  • “People” People

    We treat candidates with as much care as we treat our clients, whether they end up being “the one” for a current role or not. The trust we earn along the way is why prospects take our calls for the next opportunity, are happy to work with us again and again, and often become our clients.
