Executive Search and Business Consulting
SP Athletics offers Executive Search, Consulting and Leadership Development for organizations of all sizes. When you work with us, the people you talk with are the same ones who will perform the work and professionally represent your organization.
Executive Search
Our first step is to get to know your organization’s unique culture and industry dynamics. Then we perform a thorough assessment of the skills, experience and personality traits of your successful candidate.
Our consultants create a research-driven strategy to identify candidates who meet your Selection Committee’s parameters – including those who may not be actively looking for a job.
Once you are presented with a list of finalists, we will facilitate scheduling and necessary travel for candidate interviews. You will also receive our guidance during the final stages of the search process – including candidate references, third-party background checks and leadership assessment, when desired.
When you are ready to make an offer, we will help you develop a competitive salary and benefits package, along with terms of employment. We back all searches with a written guarantee.
