At Edgility, we help mission-driven organizations hire and support the leaders their mission deserves. Every process we lead—and every decision we support—is rooted in one belief: great leadership should never be left to chance. Hiring the right leader is high-stakes. And too often, traditional search approaches are filled with shortcuts, misalignment, and assumptions that don’t serve the mission. That’s why we take the guesswork out of hiring, onboarding, and evaluation with processes built on evidence and shaped by the people our clients serve. Our services include: Executive Search, Recruitment & Sourcing Campaigns, Leadership Onboarding and Leadership Evaluation.

Love seeing pics and stories of our Edgility Search team out in the world! Mara Cooper shared this today about her time with our client Hebrew Public this week.
What an energizing day yesterday with Hebrew Public! As part of our Founding Head of School search for OLAM Public Charter School in Stamford, CT, I had the joy of hosting one of our finalist candidates for a full-day immersive visit across two incredible Hebrew Public schools in Brooklyn. From the moment we walked in, we saw the mission in action: “Leading a national movement of exceptional public charter schools that teach Modern Hebrew to children of all backgrounds and prepare them to become successful global citizens.” Watching students engage joyfully in their learning, seeing language come alive in every hallway, and meeting the dedicated educators who make this work possible was deeply inspiring. These schools demonstrate what is possible when a community commits to academic rigor, global citizenship, and true inclusivity. Huge gratitude to the Hebrew Public team for welcoming us so warmly and giving our finalist such a rich window into the network’s vision and values. OLAM is poised to bring something truly special to Stamford — and days like this remind me why this work matters.

🏫 Just dropped Episode 6 of the Hire Ground Podcast with Eric Hirsch, CEO of EdReports. It’s a must-listen if you’re hiring (or becoming) a senior academic K12 leader at a school or system level. Christina Legg Greenberg and I unpack the current state of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and why they’re now a non-negotiable “North Star” for academic success + teacher retention. Key takeaways leaders can use tomorrow: ✅ HQIM dramatically cuts teacher planning time & burnout ✅ The best curriculum is professional learning in a binder ✅ How to spot leaders who truly understand curriculum (red flags + green flags) ✅ Why stable leadership + strong materials = the retention superpower schools need right now ✅ How AI is starting to empower (not replace) great teaching Ready to listen? 🎙️ SPOTIFY: https://lnkd.in/gM7mEKfW 🍎 APPLE PODCASTS: https://lnkd.in/gUt2hYp6 🌐 WEBSITE: https://lnkd.in/g77Q3nhn 🎥 WATCH: https://lnkd.in/g-WquAW5 If you care about teacher retention, equity, or hiring the right academic leaders—this one’s for you.
