The problem

Sports hiring is niche and high-stakes.

The right coach, physio or performance specialist can transform a club — but the talent pool is specialist and hard to reach. Generic recruiters don't know the sector, and the wrong hire costs a season.

Niche pool
Specialist sports talent is hard to find on generic boards
Wrong hire costs
In a small squad or staff team, a poor fit costs a season
Safeguarding
Roles with young athletes demand rigorous, tracked DBS checks
