About HYA - The Search Firm

HYA OVERVIEW

NATIONAL REACH – LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) has more experience in identifying quality educational executives than any other firm in the industry. The fact that it has assisted boards with successful selections in more than 1,600 searches with student enrollment ranging from less than 500 students to upwards of 640,000 is no accident. HYA’s success is about people: our Associates, their extensive contacts, and the Boards we assist. We build relationships with each new search, expanding our reach and our record of success.

COMMITMENT to DIVERSITY: HYA commits to identifying, supporting, and placing school and district leaders of color and gender who have long been historically underrepresented in these posts. Many of our associates have served and/or currently serve as members of the Board of ALAS (Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents), NABSE (National Alliance of Black School Educators), and their State affiliations. Candidates hired with HYA assistance are of varied gender, race, culture, ethnicity, and religious background.

RESEARCH BASED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: HYA gives you the option to gain in depth information from your community through a research-based survey that includes national norms. The survey identifies the goals, needs, and priorities of the school system to help better match a candidate’s skills with the needs of the District and gives valuable information to the new leader on day one of employment. HYA understands that materials published to constituents must be detailed and clear; the survey report reflects that the superintendent search process is part of a disciplined approach that HYA has carefully designed over 30 years of executive search engagements.

EXPOSURE and ANALYTICS: HYA clients are getting immediate exposure through the HYA Active Searches page which gets over 25,000 page views per month. In addition, HYA can provide analytics on your HYA Active Searches job posting including how many views your job has received, on what days, the average amount of time your posting was viewed etc. No other firm has the infrastructure to provide this data to their clients.
