LAC was retained by a private equity firm that had recently acquired on of the few "giants" in the Integrated Library Systems (ILS) market space to find a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the newly acquired company. LAC worked directly with the private equity firm to identify their strategic plans, survey the landscape for ILS competitive firms, and craft a detailed job description. LAC recruiters conducted a confidential search and interviewed over 30 individuals from within and without the ILS software space. We collaborated closely with our client, and worked together to vet candidates. As the search coincided with the library market's major annual conferences, LAC actively recruited while attending and exhibiting several major library trade shows. The search began in mid-winter and ended by the beginning of summer.
