ISU hired the Parker Executive Search firm to help facilitate its pursuit of finding Fred Hoiberg’s replacement.
“The biggest part for me is not so much them identifying candidates because we gave them the list of people and said here’s 20 people go do my research for me,” ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard said, “and put it together in a logical way. What they do really well is just handle the logistics, just the sheer coordination.”
The cost of hiring the search firm was $75,000, according to Pollard.
“We interviewed seven people and five on Sunday,” Pollard said.
