Nationwide Independent & Assisted Living Executive Search

Jeff Harris & Associates has more than 25 years of experience partnering with independent living and assisted living organizations nationwide. JHA works with both for-profit and nonprofit senior living providers, including single-site communities and multi-site operators, to identify and recruit experienced executives and senior leaders.

Leadership in independent and assisted living requires a combination of operational expertise, financial discipline, resident and family engagement, workforce leadership, and an understanding of the evolving senior living marketplace. JHA helps organizations identify leaders with the experience and judgment needed to succeed in these complex environments.

Our independent and assisted living executive search experience spans a wide range of leadership functions, including:

  • Single-Site and Multi-Site Senior Living Organizations
  • Corporate Management
  • Finance and Accounting
  • Operations
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Dining and Hospitality
  • Clinical Management
  • Quality Assurance
  • Human Resources

Jeff Harris & Associates has focused exclusively on senior living for more than 25 years. Our deep industry knowledge, direct market outreach, and long-standing relationships with executive talent allow us to identify and engage proven leaders who may not be actively considering a career move.

Today, 94% of JHA searches come from repeat clients, reflecting the trust senior living organizations place in our work. JHA offers Retained, Priority, and Contingency executive search options so independent living and assisted living organizations can choose a search approach that fits the importance, urgency, and complexity of each leadership need.

Jeff Harris Senior Recruiting

Retained
Search

After investing extensive time and resources to understand your hiring needs, we handle the entire search and vetting process from creating all underlying materials, developing a comprehensive strategy, placing ads, sourcing passive candidates through direct targeted efforts, and qualifying candidates through an extensive interview and assessment process.

Priority
Search

Priority searches are recommended when clients desire their recruiter to invest dedicated time and resources to conduct a thorough, strategic candidate search. Clients have the option of utilizing online candidate screening tools, including DISC temperament Profiles, Wonderlic intelligence assessments, and online pre-recorded interview technology for finalist candidates.

Contingency
Search

Basic contingency search is an option recommended when the employer will assume responsibility for a majority of the screening and vetting process, and when an employer anticipates interviewing candidates from multiple sources and/or when the hiring needs are less urgent. In such searches, it is expected that the recruiter will assess candidates from our database and conduct a cursory evaluation of local candidates.
