agreed no point in just putting someone in the job that will only be in it for the short term. It really is about time we find a person who will make a positive difference and not just look to build a CV.
my guess will be Justin Huber to fill the position in the mean time. He has been a standout with actually going out to the clubs and seeing and hearing the clubs and understanding the needs of our sport. He has been the face of the BV office and gained a lot of respect from the clubs with his hands on involvement in promoting our sport. Put another 6 guys like that in the system and watch the numbers grow. No point in having a big profit but being short staffed IMO.

I have heard a whisper that a former GM of a ABL team may have the gig....I also heard that the GM of the Aces will report to the GM/CEO of BV moving forward...

Congrats to Justin Huber on being appointed the interim CEO. Great choice can only be a good.

At the risk of Preston losing a very valuable person, I would think that 'pirates' could take a new lifestyle choice and mount a coup as a benign dictator. No disrespect meant 'pirates', just some whimsical thinking.

Does anyone know if they have started interviewing or shortlisting for this role? Having employed a few people in my time interviews would have well and truly started by now.

I would be very surprised if interviews haven't started already. Especially if there were only a very small number of applicants. If there is a need for an initial filtering before choosing who to interview this may take longer, but I'd expect in this role (under these conditions) they'd interview almost anyone that applied.

I noticed somewhere that BV did not expect to make an appointment until June.
I believe there were 30 applicants for the position, with ten to be shortlisted for interview before that group is reduced to three or four for final consideration.
No rush, as should be the case.

Like your points Stockley..especially re "a group of people pushing through their agenda"..sounds like a potential situation tailor made for OMR!

Why do you think there is a delay (which is a different notion to not rushing). Sounds to me like BV are working with the ABF and ABL on this critical appointment, otherwise I can't see why this should be the case. If you have 30 applicants reduced to 10 to interviews - let's start! First round interviews this week and next, 2nd round week beginning the 6th of May, third round the following week and Bob's your auntie. If the person is a baseballer references should be easy to complete and contracts proforma.

They will work through the process as any business should. I'm actually a bit disappointed that information about how many applicants is leaking out. This isn't something the general public should know. Neither is who has applied, or what the timeline BV is working to. They shouldn't be locking themselves in.

Overheard on the weekend that the next possible CEO has a strong cricket background in administration. Not sure if it with a local association or Cricket Victoria.

"Applications for the CEO position have now closed and Baseball Victoria is undertaking a process to determine a short list of candidates to interview over the coming weeks. It is expected that announcement on the new person will be made in June." (BV, 10 April 2013)
That is the timeline that BV itself set when announcing the appointment of Justin Huber as interim CEO. It is sufficiently broad and unspecific that the organisation can take its time in deciding on the best candidate.
In a sport as small as baseball, it is almost inevitable that there will be some detail doing the rounds - whether it is factual or not. I'm sure the BV selection panel is sufficiently professional and objective to not allow any of that to affect the process or the final decision.

"Based in South Melbourne and reporting to the Board of Directors, you will need to be a dynamic and energetic leader, with a heavy strategic and commercial focus. You will develop strong relationships, leverage marketing and promotional opportunities, and welcome being the face of our organisation. You will have extensive experience in managing and controlling organisational budgets across all departments, and will need to demonstrate a successful track record in managing and growing like-sized businesses."
From my experience, that type of job description/responsibility earns a base six figure salary in the corporate world - even with limited experience. What is the salary band BV are offering?
In fact, for an experienced person meeting those criteria, probably start at $200k in corporate if they're actually good at what they do.

Just to throw a baited hook into the water... A few people round the traps and on the forum suggest that BV pays too many staff/could be run cheaper, yet when the CEO role comes up, others question whether the money is enough to get someone of quality. Kind of confused which was people want to go...

If the process is handled correctly, we should not hear a word until the appoinment is made. And to those on here who do have an idea of where things are at, out of repect to the applicants, it would be better they keep it to themselves

- Some 5 years ago I queried the powers to be as to whether the new CEO would be around long enough to make a cut lunch and I was assured yes. 12 months later - gone - quicker than a Matador without a cape! But that's what we are seeing in employment these days, no one in for the long haul. No sooner do they get one position and they're twittering about the next!
