The proposition
Broader reach. Stronger shortlists. Better teams.
Most sports organisations don’t struggle to attract applications. The challenge is reaching beyond the obvious candidate pool and building broader, stronger and more diverse shortlists.
Transfers in Sport combines deep experience inside elite sport with an established industry network, proactive market mapping and targeted search to identify exceptional people who might otherwise be missed.
Specialists in sport
We’ve sat on that side of the table.
We’ve worked inside some of the world’s leading sports organisations. That means we understand the realities facing internal Talent Acquisition and People teams because we’ve sat on that side of the table ourselves.
We move the people who move sport.
How we help
Four ways in.
Talent mapping & intelligence
Embedded Talent Acquisition
Hiring strategy & advisory
Our approach
Every search starts with understanding what the organisation is trying to achieve, not simply the vacancy it needs to fill.
We work as a trusted extension of your team, combining sports industry knowledge, market insight and proactive search to expand the talent market and help you make better hiring decisions.
Every conversation represents your brand.
Candidate experience
Candidate experience isn’t an afterthought. From the first approach to the final conversation, we represent our partners with the same care we’d expect from an internal Talent Acquisition team.
In their words
From a talent leader we worked alongside at City Football Group
“Tom is an absolute sporting recruitment guru. He supported my team during my time with City Football Group (Man City), across roles both on and off the pitch. Tom is great at building rapport with leaders, managing expectations and identifying wider areas of improvement across process, systems and market. I’d highly recommend Tom to any sporting body, club or organisation that needs dedicated TA advice and support both strategically and operationally.”
From a candidate we advised
“Tom provided clear, thoughtful guidance and was consistently supportive and encouraging throughout a highly selective recruitment process with a global sports organisation. He gave me constructive and actionable feedback that genuinely helped me improve and perform more confidently at each stage. What stood out most was how invested he was in candidates’ development.”
Great recruitment isn’t measured by how quickly a vacancy disappears. The real measure is whether the right person was hired and the impact they go on to make.
