Protocol National College Leadership Services is by far the most experienced team and the most successful senior recruitment service in the college sector. We are the experts! We know the sector, we know the rising stars, we know when the established stars are ready for a move and we know the serial applicants. We don’t manage general recruitment across sectors; we’re not an add-on to a general recruitment (or conferencing) service.

Our team has managed more senior appointments than all the other agencies put together, however we’re the only team with a 100% success rate (we've never had to re-advertise) with our Principal posts. Our team has the experience and expertise which comes from leading and managing almost a hundred of these, as well as every other kind of senior post. There are colleges to whom we have gone back and back and back – in fact, repeat business is probably our most reliable indicator of success.

We’ll find you not only a strong field of candidates, we’ll find you the right ones for your college’s particular needs and circumstances.

Peter Daley (Director) had over seven years’ experience as a college Principal before he became Director at the AoC in 1999, and then established Tribal’s College Leadership service in 2003. He has personally led and managed more successful senior appointments in the sector than all other recruiters put together.
