Our previous Head of Recruitment moved on mid-season, and we needed someone who could manage scouts and work confidently with our data team. We advertised on Softfootball with a clear description of how we play and what the role would change.
Within ten days we had a strong shortlist, including candidates from analysis and scouting backgrounds. The person we hired joined from a Championship club and has already restructured our scouting network.
Being specific in the advert made all the difference – it brought us people who wanted exactly this job.
