With more than 14 years of proven success, they proudly offer services at the most competitive rates in the industry, demonstrating our commitment to excellence and delivering the best candidates for the best value.
They provide two tiers of premium service to meet your leadership and hard-to-fill recruitment needs:
- Full-Service Executive Search: Comprehensive recruitment for executive, senior leader, and select hard-to-fill positions, ensuring the identification and placement of top-tier candidates.

Contact ers@ucsd.edu for a personalized consultation and quote.
Otherwise, below is a list of search firms that have established systemwide professional services agreements with the University of California. Select the type of Executive Recruitment Search Firms the department would like to purchase using the list below.
These firms have provided discount pricing to be accepted onto this list, and are immediately available to managers because the professional services agreements already exist. A number of the firms offer services specific to particular functions -- like Marketing, Technology, and Student Affairs -- others offer unbundled services where, for a lower fee, the firm will conduct only part of the search process. Some vendors will charge only an hourly rate, and several will consider contingency placement assignments in addition to retained searches. The list is managed out of Human Resources, Office of the President.
Additionally, UC San Diego is committed to encouraging small, local, and disadvantaged business participation in our Supply Chain activities - Consider using a Small Business First!
Small & Diverse Businesses
The University of California has adopted the Small Business First Program changing procurement by an intentional effort to increase equitable contracting and procurement opportunities with certified Small Businesses (SBs), and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs) that have been challenged as a result of the pandemic. It is a strategic push forward from each UC campus to support California's small businesses, rebuild communities, and reach the 25% SBDO goals.
UC San Diego’s collective commitment through the launch of this program is intended to leverage our purchasing power by creating more performance opportunities keeping small businesses open, where they can operate, and thrive. You have the power to create jobs, change lives, and bring hope when considering sourcing locally from certified businesses.

Agreement Suppliers
Competitive bids are not needed for contracts previously established through the strategic sourcing process, since the competitive bid requirement has already been satisfied. UC San Diego encourages its community to take advantage of strategically sourced contracts. Departments may make purchases under these contracts even if the value of the purchase exceeds $100,000.
