Management search and hiring processes in higher education are costly, time‐consuming, lengthy, and in a constrained budgetary climate, not initiated unless necessary. Therefore, it is critical that candidates, when offered a position, are ready to commit. Academic affairs search committees and the hiring manager, whether it is the president, provost, or dean, typically seek qualifications that encompass degree level, scholarship, number of years of experience in an administrative role, and potentially experience in a specific area that is an initiative of the hiring institution. These laudable qualifications are ones that an institution's officials would agree are required.
