That has to be some kid of miscommunication. Worked with many search firms and they are supplements to a search, not absolute. If not, cya….

No different than a CPA firm walking when they find fraud in financials. It’s their prerogative to not be associated with it. Whether they’re right or wrong in their assumption.

I’m sure they don’t want their name linked to the hire in the case that there’s something that comes up after the fact.

Tells me Miami hired the firm as a smoke screen of doing due diligence. Fine by me

This is fundamentally different from a search firm situation. Audit firms SIGN OFF on audited financials, they actually did the work to audit the numbers, and there are rules of professional conduct which regulate these types of things.

As for search firms, you can get any "service level" you want. Just names? Fine. Names and reference-checking? Fine. Names, reference-checking, and background-checking? Fine.

And for the record, recruiters/head-hunters get bypassed ALL THE TIME. Hey, we hired you as our recruiter/search firm, but we decided to promote someone from within? BYYYYEEEE. We got a candidate that was referred by an existing employee? Thanks, but no thanks, no soup for you.

In my entire professional life, I have never heard of a search firm "threatening to resign" simply because you give an interview to someone that they think has background-check issues. If that was even an issue, it is easily disposed of with a conclusion of "well, you assume all the risk, we disagree, but you are the boss."

....the search firm knows that Jurich is going to get the job (against their recommendation) and they want to distance themselves from this choice before it is official.

search firm couldn't care less what candidate is hired, so long as its the one that drives a fee to their coffers.

Sucker fish have more character than search firm employees.
 
Many insiders have been insinuating that Jurich is the guy but now all of a sudden the news indicates he hasn’t even been formally interviewed? The alleged timeline for an AD hire was early to mid week. Today is Sunday & Jurich hasn’t even been interviewed? Doesn’t seem like there is to be an AD in place if the rumored leading candidate hasn’t even been interviewed?

This is spiraling into a mess. There still appears to be no plan or leadership at the highest levels of the BOT, which we all knew. It sounds like a bunch of people talking & willing to cut checks but contrasting views on how to do it.

With each passing day the odds of Diaz returning seem to be increasing. Everyone has been shouting that “money is no issue” yet he still has a job. Forget a buyout going down on a certain date. Why was he not fired after losing to Florida St if $ was not an issue??? He’s about to hit the road recruiting as an alleged “dead man walking”. Par the course for Miami, we can’t even fire/hire people the right way. This program is bleeding out on the table right now in front of everyone. When will the bleeding stop ???????

A quality search company has been retained to do a job by a business, in this case the University of Miami. They have been contracted to do a job, let them do it! Any good firm would react the same way, if people are going around them to interfere in a search they were retained to perform. It's astonishing that people don't understand how a business is supposed to function, properly.

100% without a doubt. they said the search firm was only brought in bc the "status quo" people threw a b*tch fit when it looked like Jurich was going to be the guy.

But why would D$ leak this in that scenario?

Sounds like the firm believes that this would impact their reputation. Frankly, it's their right to resign over this.

I have never been involved in using a search firm to find an executive but I have worked with engineering firms on projects. I would use the firm to come up with a list of potential candidates and then see which candidates fall on both lists and why candidates made one list and not the other. The idea that we have to select one of their candidates is dumb and the idea that we wasted our money by not selecting one of their candidates is also dumb. The goal should be to have an extra set of non-bias eyes conducting a search and providing feedback you may not have considered. This decision belongs to Julio Frenk and the Board of Trustees and no one else.
