About Jeff Harris & Associates — Senior Living Executive Search

Jeff Harris & Associates is a nationwide senior living executive search firm focused exclusively on helping senior living and care organizations identify and recruit proven leadership talent. JHA has built its reputation on integrity, results, trust, and long-term client partnerships. We believe in the power of partnerships. Our emphasis on integrity, results, trust, and respect has resulted in a nationwide executive talent network that gives clients access to proven senior living leaders, including many who are not actively searching for a new position. The fact that 94% of our current searches are conducted for repeat clients serves as a testament to our proven success. JHA was formed in 2002 with the vision of creating a recruiting and consulting firm that marries the professional, consultative environment of retained search with the flexibility of contingency search options.

At the heart of our efforts is a collaborative approach aimed at partnering with clients to build strong, successful management teams. JHA’s specialized knowledge of the senior living industry, direct market outreach, and long-standing relationships with executive talent allow us to identify and engage leaders who may not be reached through traditional recruiting methods. Our nationwide database of nearly 50,000 senior living and healthcare professionals supports searches across C-suite, executive, regional, operational, financial, clinical, sales, marketing, and human resources functions.

Why JHA?

Knowledge Is Power

We take the time to understand each client’s organization, culture, operating environment, leadership needs, and strategic priorities. That insight helps us define the right executive profile, position the opportunity effectively, and identify leaders who can succeed in the organization.

Reputation Builds Trust

An organization’s reputation, mission, culture, and leadership story all influence its ability to attract exceptional executive talent. JHA works with clients to present a clear and consistent message to the market so prospective leaders understand both the opportunity and the organization behind it.

Identify Proven Senior Living Leaders

Because we understand our clients’ goals, challenges, culture, and leadership requirements, we can conduct a more focused executive search and identify leaders whose experience and approach align with the organization’s needs.

Build Long-Term Search Partnerships

JHA works collaboratively with clients throughout the executive search process, from defining the leadership need and selecting the right search approach through candidate evaluation, interviews, offers, and transition support.
