Jack Hammer: Offering a pre-screened list of possible candidates, by combining executive search techniques and networking opportunities

Over the past several years, the EdTech sector has emerged as a center of innovation, and it's fascinating to watch how established educational institutions are coming up with new ideas for the future.

As one of the top five executive search firms in the country, Jack Hammer specializes in full-time and fractional leadership positions in the EdTech industry. They assist EdTech and workplace learning firms in identifying leaders who are innovators, change agents, and creators of exceptional workplaces where ideas and people flourish.

Since its founding in 2001, Jack Hammer's executive headhunters have aided outstanding businesses in both Africa and the USA in expanding and diversifying their boards and leadership teams. Jack Hammer has been assisting Edtech and Workplace Development firms in identifying leaders for more than 20 years. Their clients seek to employ exceptional individuals. Leaders that fit in well and are exceptionally skilled at what they do. They take both, a scientific and artistic approach. It's a process that demands exacting accuracy, the creative and analytical use of data, discipline and empathy, and an uncompromising commitment to doing the right thing without taking any short cuts.

Jack Hammer helps customers and prospects make wise hiring and career decisions by seeing beyond the apparent, keeping it genuine, and supporting them.

The dream team

Jack Hammer's clientele depends on their years of experience in developing high-growth leadership teams in the Edtech and workplace development industries, working with both early-stage start-ups and well-established businesses.

Their group of Edtech recruiters consists of industry specialists with networks of pre-screened executives. They source people in three primary verticals: higher education, enterprise (corporate), and pre-K–12. They source people at the board, C-Suite, executive, and senior management (SVP and VP) levels.

Early-stage company leaders sometimes assume the responsibilities of individual contributors, assisting with hiring a team, establishing the function, and locating new clients.

The executive search

Businesses can now access their network of adaptable, temporary, or part-time leaders with Jack Hammer. Through executive search, Jack Hammer assists businesses in finding exceptional candidates to lead and develop successful teams in amazing environments where people and ideas flourish are created by great leaders.

Finding and securing great leaders is difficult, and handling the hiring process with applicants at the top executive and C-suite levels demands a high degree of skill in order to achieve the desired results.

Thus, hiring a reputable executive search agency is clearly the best course of action for businesses looking to hire a new leader or who are thinking about making an internal appointment and need to compare their current talent pool to the outside market.

Having worked in the trenches for more than 20 years, assisting businesses in expanding and diversifying their boards and leadership teams, they would want to assist additional businesses. They search far and wide, sometimes in unexpected locations, drilling down and pounding away until they find the proper ones.

Jack Hammer has contacts in a variety of functional areas at the board, C-Suite, executive, and senior management (SVP and VP) levels. Higher Ed, Enterprise (Corporate), and K–12 verticals are all included in their searches for Edtech and workplace learning. The majority of the time, they assist in filling the most difficult positions, where there is a significant need for excellent people and the most exceptional leaders are unlikely to be actively seeking employment.

The executive search technique used by Jack Hammer combines science and art. It's a process that demands exacting accuracy, the creative and analytical use of data, discipline and empathy, and an uncompromising commitment to doing the right thing without taking any short cuts.

The board advisors

Boards are realizing the value (and potential) of having non-executive director diversity on their board. They are searching for people who actively participate in, question, and improve the organizations and the leadership team's governance, sustainability, and strategy — not just "sit" on boards.

A quick search through Rolodex and a call to some friends used to be all that was needed to find non-executive board members. However, new recruitment tactics are needed in this age of scrutiny, shareholder expectations, and the understanding that diverse boards can significantly improve results.

Combining executive search with networking, Jack Hammer provides the nominating committee with a pre-screened list of possible candidates. The Jack Hammer executive recruitment team evaluates talent, capacity, and conflicts of interest in a range of candidates, from seasoned professionals to "high flyers" who are prepared for their first non-executive or chair appointment.

Finding and selecting non-executive leaders who can strengthen strategy, encourage and test the executive leadership group, take advantage of their networks, and represent the company are the ultimate goals.

The Visionary Leader Upfront

Debbie Goodman is the CEO of Jack Hammer.

“Our approach is both science and art. It’s a process that takes meticulous precision, utilizing data and creativity, rigor and empathy, and an unwavering willingness to do the right thing.”
