The Acclivity, a leadership consultancy founded by Dr. Loren M. Hill, announced the launch of its expanded area of practice: The Acclivity Search Partnership Track, designed to support executive search firms and institutions of higher education committed to building diverse and inclusive leadership teams.
Developed in response to increasing demand for culturally responsive hiring practices, this new service provides high-touch, strategic consultation at every stage of the academic search process—from framing the role and assessing readiness to onboarding new hires for long-term success. It builds on The Acclivity’s reputation for transforming how institutions approach leadership development and equity.
“Too often, institutions say they want diverse leadership but fail to prepare their systems and search processes to support it,” said Dr. Hill. “This track meets that moment. We partner directly with search firms and campus leadership to move from intention to strategy—and from strategy to success.”
The Acclivity Search Partnership Track includes:
- Strategic consultation for search committees and hiring executives
- Equity-centered role definition and narrative framing
- Stakeholder engagement guidance to ensure clarity, transparency, and alignment
- Shortlist evaluation support through a diversity, equity, and leadership lens
- Onboarding advisement to sustain long-term leadership success
The new track complements The Acclivity’s existing services in leadership coaching, organizational alignment, and institutional culture change.
For search firms and institutions ready to rethink traditional hiring models and align leadership selection with institutional values, The Acclivity now offers a trusted, experienced partner.
