Headhunter Protocol and the Met Director Derby

Someone who knows more about how headhunters work than I do (and that’s just about everyone) informed me that far from having an inside track for the Metropolitan Museum’s directorship (as I suggested he might), Max Anderson might be disadvantaged by the fact that the Met’s search firm, Phillips Oppenheim, was involved in his landing the directorship of the Indianapolis Museum. All of this speculation is merely hypothetical, mind you: I have no idea if Max is under consideration or if he wants to be.
But Sarah James of the search firm confirmed that headhunters do not displace their prior placements without the permission of the candidate’s current employer. She also expressed chagrin that Phillips Oppenheim’s website had, as I reported, misspelled the name of one of her company’s clients, the Hirshhorn Museum. That gaffe has now been corrected.
But why isn’t the Met yet included on the lists of her firm’s clients or current searches?
