Using Agreements for Executive Recruiting & Search

The systemwide agreements are the preferred search firms to use, but the most important consideration is the right search firm for the search. New agreements can be established, with a preference to establishing multi-year blanket agreements.

Task		Steps
1. Select object code.		Use object code 3210 Advertising/Recruitment/Procurement.
2. Determine type of agreement.		Use the correct agreement for the search required – medical enterprise (hospital, health professional schools, UCOP medical science) or General (non-medical enterprise).
3. Provide information on Attachment B.		Use Attachment B to specify the search desired, establishing the scope of work with the search firm. Confirm pricing in Attachment B. Identify where invoices are to be sent in Attachment B. Identify the search team individuals in Attachment B. No changes to agreement general terms and conditions can be made in Attachment B. Because Attachment B is for scope-of-work issues, the department/internal customer can sign Attachment B for the University.
4. Contact Campus Purchasing.		The department/internal customer shall communicate searches to Purchasing so that the appropriate local purchase order or blanket order release can be established for payments. Preference is for Attachment B to be copied or excerpted into the purchase order or release.
