Strategy and timing
King’s Christian Academy reached out to Vanderbloemen and the case was assigned to Executive Search Consultant Eric Albert, who has worked at Vanderbloemen since 2018, helping countless clients find their perfect-fit candidates. Alongside Eric was Senior Executive Search Recruiter Will Hancock, an experienced and talented recruiter. Will’s eye for details and magnetic personality made a great team player and working with Eric was no exception, as the two had already successfully completed multiple searches over the years, and would surely make a great duo on this search with King’s Christian Academy. Eric and Will worked hard to bring KCA an incredible slate of qualified candidates, and while all of them were experienced and talented, one stood out from the rest, Shileta Weems.
