Your Intellectual Partner in Search

JG Consulting supports the career advancement of our nation’s school system leaders. We understand the complexities of school systems and the process for managing a successful executive search. Our firm collaborates with each school system we serve including the school boards, staff, students and community constituents during the selection of a Superintendent, CEO, Commissioner, executive-level leader, principal or teacher. JG Consulting welcomes the opportunity to engage in a meaningful dialogue with any school system or agency committed to this critically important process.

“The primary reason for my message today is to express our heartfelt gratitude on behalf of our board for your active participation in the superintendent search process. It was truly remarkable to witness the extensive opportunities for participation facilitated by our search consultant, JG.

In my years of experience in education, I have never seen such a breadth of opportunities provided for community input regarding the type of leadership our district is seeking. Typically, one to three opportunities for input are common, but the search firm went above and beyond by scheduling over a dozen opportunities. They visited school sites, met with the public, created a survey for those unable to attend in person, and made the face-to-face opportunities hybrid—available both in person and via live stream. This level of engagement was truly remarkable.

We, as a board, are eagerly anticipating what the search firm will share with us at our upcoming board meeting. Once again, we want to thank you for taking full advantage of the opportunities presented by JG Consulting. We look forward to seeing what they present at our next public board meeting.”

“The JG Consulting Leadership Academy event at Google was a resounding success, with participants praising the high-quality content, engaging workshops, and unparalleled networking opportunities. The event helped school system leaders prepare for the role of Superintendent and provided the Google team(s) with a unique opportunity to connect with some of those future leaders. This is one of (hopefully) many more Academies that Google and JG Consulting will be hosting together.”

“JG Consulting is one of the most outstanding firms that I had the privilege to work with for our superintendent search. This firm was very instrumental and thorough in assisting our board in finding our new superintendent. James Guerra is an extremely professional individual with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to meet timelines throughout the process. He established guidelines and recommendations based on his experience and truly delivered in his commitment.

Finally, based on this experience, I have no hesitation in recommending JG Consulting as being one of the most trustworthy firms in finding your next superintendent.”

David O. Morales

Board President , Socorro ISD

“It was a great privilege working with JG consulting. In 2018, as South San Antonio ISD board president, I had the responsibility of finding a firm for locating the best candidates for Superintendent. Our school district has a history of challenges when it comes to filling the position of a Superintendent. Our genuine fear was that we would not get a good pool of candidates much less a great pool, “Good” would have been sufficient for us.

This is where JG Consulting comes in, they came highly recommended with raving reviews. I also had crossed paths with them during a conference and I was thoroughly impressed by James. I then reached out and inquired if they would be interested in applying to assist us. JG Consulting exceeded my expectations. They came alongside the board to grasp what our vision and mission for the district was at that time, where we wanted to go and how best to do that. They then found the candidates that not only wanted to do the same but could. JG consulting set up the interviews, and I must say, the candidates were some of the most accomplished and ambitious group I have ever met. The only problem with JG Consulting was the struggle of deciding who to hire, the candidates were all great. We made our selection for lone finalist and was accepted.

In short JG Consulting demonstrated dedication, a superior recruiting process, encouragement, and an in depth knowledge of today’s educational styles, high expectations from candidates, commitment for coordination with the board and, above all, ethical in every area. JG Consulting is the first and only place a district would need to turn.”

He helped us fill our open superintendent position very quickly and at the same time built a large, strong, and highly qualified pool of candidates. He did a great job helping us build out the job description and was consistently available to answer any and all questions we had. He was critical in helping us move our district forward with success. I am incredibly grateful.”
