In a few different posts on
this blog over the years, I have referenced recruiters and search firms
in the sports and entertainment industry. As some of you know, I worked
at Turnkey Sports and Entertainment as a Senior Execuitive Recruiter
for three years. I completed searches from the Director-level up to
C-level in the four major sports, MLS, motorsports, and collegiate
marketing properties. All of these positions were on the "business"
side with no direct tie-in to the field or court.
Along with Turnkey,
Ascension Sports Partners, Prodigy Sports, Teamwork, and Game Face are
the top search firms in the sports industry that most people, especially
sport management students and graduates, are aware of and follow.
However, I recently came across an awesome article on ESPN regarding
the search firms that are involved in coaching and administrator roles
in collegiate athletics. It provides great detail, insights, and
perceptions. It is a longer read than most ESPN articles but is well
worth it. Enjoy...
