RETAINED ABA EXECUTIVE SEARCH
ABA leadership.
For what comes next.
Retained search for Clinical Directors, regional leaders, and ABA executives. Start with the decisions your next leader needs to own.
Define what your next leader needs to own.
Before a leadership search begins, the organization needs a shared definition of success. We explore the decisions the person will own, the teams they will lead, and the balance between clinical and operational priorities.
Multi-site responsibility
Regional and operational leaders working across locations, with clear accountability for teams, communication, and execution.
Executive alignment
Executive searches grounded in the organization’s stage, decision-making structure, and expectations for leadership.
For ABA organizations making a consequential leadership hire, expanding into new markets, or strengthening accountability across a growing team.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
A shared mandate. A focused search.
John Krulock works directly with your decision makers to connect the leadership search to clinical quality, organizational responsibilities, and the work the appointment needs to accomplish.
- Agree on the mandate
Agree on the decisions the leader will own, the reporting relationship, and the outcomes clinical and operational stakeholders need from the appointment.
- Define relevant experience
Define the experience that matters: clinical governance, team development, operating scope, and the organization’s stage. Agree on confidentiality requirements before outreach.
- Explore judgment in context
Use the mandate to shape interviews. Explore examples of decisions, tradeoffs, and team leadership so stakeholders can assess judgment against the same expectations.
- Align the decision makers
Bring interview feedback, unresolved questions, compensation, and decision rights together before selection. Keep the offer discussion tied to the mandate.
What we’ll clarify together
Why is this appointment needed now? Which decisions will the leader own? Who do they report to, and what will clinical and operational stakeholders expect?
Prepare for an ABA leadership search →Before we begin.
Can a search remain confidential?
Discuss confidentiality needs with us at the start. We’ll agree on what may be shared, with whom, and at which stage before outreach begins.
Do you only recruit clinical executives?
Our ABA focus includes clinical leadership and operational or executive roles. We’ll confirm the specific scope and relevant experience needed for your search.
How do you define leadership fit?
We look at the mandate, team context, clinical governance, operational responsibilities, and how the person approaches decisions and develops others.
What should our leadership team agree on first?
Why the appointment is needed, what the person will own, who will evaluate candidates, and who makes the final decision. The search brief should distinguish essential experience from preferences.
How does a retained engagement begin?
We discuss the mandate, search scope, confidentiality, responsibilities, and commercial terms directly. These are agreed before an engagement begins.
