Resource Group 175 is a boutique search and advisory firm that partners with independent and international schools to lead head-of-school and senior leadership searches. Our consultants are  long-serving, successful school leaders who help schools in transition identify critical strengths, challenges and opportunities, and connect them with great-fit leadership candidates. With our collaborative and deliberate process, we help our client schools engage in thoughtful, evidence-based discussions to attain the best results in their leadership searches. The firm has an outstanding track record of success: 96% of heads placed in the last five years remain at their respective schools. 48% of our placements have been women and 20% are people of color. Our large, diverse database of candidates and, most importantly, our vast networks allow us to target candidates whose leadership and management skills align optimally with a school’s challenges and opportunities.
