We were amazed at the strength of the field we were able to attract. Without doubt, this was largely due to Carney Sandoe's strong reach and connection within the international school leadership community.

Just a quick note to say thank you again for the great work you did on the principal search for Atlanta Classical.

I want to take a moment to thank the three of you for your guidance, professionalism, insight, and constant vigilance as we undertook this most important undertaking. I think we had a series of good decisions in this process but the best one we had was the selection of Carney Sandoe as our search team. It got us off to a great start and an ultimately successful end! I learned a great deal through this process and I will always be grateful for the experience.

The success of our search was due to their thorough process, their talented candidate pool, and their wise counsel along the way. I highly recommend CS&A for any independent school search.
Carney Sandoe provided tremendous support to the Hockaday search. The breadth of the candidate pool, the connections within the independent school community, and the depth of the personal interviews with the candidates prior to meeting the search committee were all hallmarks. In particular, our consultants, Rayna and Aggie, were keenly aware of and sensitive to not only the requirements of the position but also the emotional needs of our school during our time of transition. They were accessible 24/7 and immediately responsive to all of our requests. The success of our search was due to their thorough process, their talented candidate pool, and their wise counsel along the way. I highly recommend CS&A for any independent school search.

Members of the search committee and I were in a meeting today and talking about how beneficial you were to encourage us to look at someone who wasn’t on our radar, and then keep him on board during the process until we could get to the finish line.

Bob, thanks for being a big part of making everything happen. Members of the search committee and I were in a meeting today and talking about how beneficial you were to encourage us to look at someone who wasn’t on our radar, and then keep him on board during the process until we could get to the finish line. We will be forever grateful for your wisdom and guidance.

Jennifer delivered and the individual we hired has met or exceeded all of our expectations.
Needing to fill a position that was critically important to strategic enrollment management and to the entire USF community and that we knew would be hard to fill, we partnered with Jennifer. We counted on her deep knowledge of the college enrollment profession from both the higher ed and secondary sides of the desk, her substantial contacts, and insights on the mechanics of the search process to help us secure an outstanding candidate pool and hire. She delivered and the individual we hired has met or exceeded all of our expectations.
My personal gratitude for your guidance, patience, expertise, and professionalism at every turn of our search and transition is difficult to put in to words. I couldn't have done it without you.
We at SAS (and especially the Search Committee) are so indebted to you. Our successful search began with Carney Sandoe, but it was working with you that really made it happen. I am sure you sensed that the stakes couldn’t have been higher - and we hit the ball out of the park with our decisions thanks to you. My personal gratitude for your guidance, patience, expertise, and professionalism at every turn of our search and transition is difficult to put in to words. I couldn't have done it without you.
Bob, on behalf of the Sion Board of Trustees, I am writing to thank you for the extraordinary leadership and support you provided in our search for our new president.
Bob, on behalf of the Sion Board of Trustees, I am writing to thank you for the extraordinary leadership and support you provided in our search for our new president. The process was so orderly, inclusive, and professional, and we are absolutely thrilled with the appointment! She is a rock star in the making who loves our school and will take us where we want to go. We are also most grateful for the Board Retreat you facilitated as part of the onboarding process. That was a very significant experience for us. You helped us align our expectations and priorities, and you got us talking about important issues that will serve us well as we face the opportunities and challenges ahead. Thank you – from all of us!

I think the board workshop ran by Ralph was very effective…it gave everyone a better understanding of what we need to be doing and what we do not need to be doing.

We are grateful to Ralph for his insight, his passion, and for encouraging us to become a much more effective board.
Ralph spent 24 hours with our board and gave us plenty to think about as we began a new chapter in our school’s history. With a brand new president and principal (following a “legacy” president who had been with us for over four decades), Ralph energized us to take a step back and clarify how our board could effectively govern “at 30,000 feet” while giving our new leaders the space and support they needed. Every board member left the session with a clearer sense of purpose, pride, and understanding of the work "that only the board can do.” We are grateful to Ralph for his insight, his passion, and for encouraging us to become a much more effective board.
