Grace Liffrig

Lead Recruiter, Talent Solutions

Grace serves as Lead Recruiter for Arcadia’s talent recruitment services. In her first year with Arcadia, she spent many months visiting higher education institutions and para-university ministry programs to identify teachers and build out an extensive talent pipeline. In the course of adopting best-in-class recruitment methods for sourcing, screening, and hiring, she has moved into executive search and absolutely loves the challenge of helping rising leaders into their next opportunity on behalf of the classical education movement. Together with the executive search team, Grace applies a sophisticated, targeted approach to identifying top leadership talent. The relational element of recruitment is what keeps Grace excited about this important work. She has always enjoyed engaging with others to understand their fundamental motivations and strengths, and she sees each talent search as a natural extension of her gift for helping individuals understand where their talents can be best employed.

Grace holds a BA in Philosophy & Religion from Hillsdale College. She has been privileged to work for Hillsdale’s External Affairs Office, frequently traveling to engage donors and assist in facilitating national leadership seminars, free market forums, and other special events. During her undergraduate summers, she worked in Europe for The American School in Switzerland (TASIS). Grace brings to Arcadia professional experience in teaching, talent recruitment, client services, donor engagement, and donor relationship cultivation. Grace, her husband Peter, and their daughter Cecile live in Lincoln, Nebraska.
