Hiring a recruiting firm isn’t financially feasible (they usually charge 20-33% of the first year salary for the new ED + travel expenses + advertising fees).
Your board and staff are too-short on time to manage the whole process internally, but you have the budget for external assistance, and you have enough internal capacity to manage some of the pieces that a recruiting firm would normally do.
