It is well-recognized that candidates who have been historically excluded and underrepresented in their field encounter unique experiences, perspectives, and barriers when it comes to seeking job opportunities in medicine and science. This chapter will explore how candidates—especially LHS+ faculty—can effectively work with search consultants to position themselves for their next leadership role. In addition, the chapter will outline best practices for serving on search committees where those bodies evolve their practices and processes to mitigate implicit bias and engage in respectful discourse. Search consultants can serve as thought partners in a leadership transition and serve as stewards of inclusion and equity. They simultaneously support and assist search committee members and the candidates themselves, helping both navigate the recruitment and selection process.
