The practice area shapes the sourcing lens, credential verification and calibration cadence. The workflow stays consistent across every search: a written engagement letter, a scoped long list, a calibrated shortlist and end-to-end offer support. Partner-led throughout.
A working session with the AD, hiring committee, ownership group or president’s office. We capture the programme context, the operating expectations, the salary structure, the timeline and the success metrics. Engagement letter and scope document follow.
Partner-led approach to 40 to 80 long-list candidates over the first four to six weeks. Written progress reports on a fortnightly cadence. Shortlist calibration with your stakeholders at day 30.
Three to five candidates presented by day 90, contractually committed. Each candidate credential-verified, reference-ready and NDA-signed before introduction. Written notes on each and a ranked recommendation.
Back-channel checks with peer ADs, coaches and athletic directors. Final-stage interview management, offer structuring including base, incentives and buyout scenarios, and onboarding support through day 90 in role.
Roles that do not sit inside an athletic department, a sports medicine unit or a pro sports front office. We will refer you to a peer firm with pleasure. Depth of focus is what makes our athletics shortlists arrive faster and better calibrated than a generalist desk can manage.
