Our Access to the Decision-Makers
We work directly with Heads of School, who are the key decision-makers in the hiring process. When we go to work to find a great career match for you, we won't assign you to an inexperienced "associate", as some firms do. Our entire Finney Search Group team works in tandem to maximize your chance for success.
​
Expertise in the Teacher-Coach Model
The Finney Search Group has experienced significant success placing candidates interested in becoming a "teacher-coach". Both the applicants we serve and our client schools believe the Teacher-Coach Model provides athletes and non-athletes alike the chance to thrive in an environment where the teacher is a "coach" both inside and outside the classroom.
​
Our Specialty in Athletics
One of our specialties at The Finney Search Group has been our ability to match schools with applicants interested in athletics. If your interest is in teaching-coaching, coaching, or Athletic Director opportunities, you've come to the right place.

"It is hard to put into words what The Finney Search Group has done for me and my family. Chris, Sherm and Bo – I owe you guys so much! You always connected me with a lead and gave me the truth – about the job or my fit there. You guys are the best!! And I mean that. I spoke with other search firms, and they cannot hold a candle to your group. Keep it up!!”
