OUR recruitment PHILOSOPHY

Football Careers is an independent football recruitment company based in Scotland. With over 30 years of recruitment experience across multiple sectors, we’ve garnered a reputation for delivering excellent results through our bespoke recruitment solutions. Our goal is to help football clubs and organisations recruit the right people, encourage employee retention, and build dynamic teams that will go the distance.

We know the best applicant for the job isn’t always the best candidate for the job, and staff turnover can become expensive. Football Careers’ expert recruitment team ensures the correct processes are carried out to employ suitable candidates for roles, helping to minimise the risk of turnover and boost retention.

We foster lasting, meaningful relationships with our football recruitment partners, allowing us a deeper understanding of your organisation, your needs, and your goals. By working closely with you throughout the recruitment process, we’re able to delve beneath the surface of the job description and gain insight into other key elements that will help us find the right candidate for you, such as your club or organisation’s culture and its vision for the future.

Whether you’re seeking a new coach or looking to appoint a candidate for a senior management role, our honest, meticulous approach makes Football Careers a key player in the global football job market. Our aim is not to simply fill your vacancy: we work diligently to find the perfect candidate for your role through effective, stress-free recruitment solutions that are tailored to you.

CV filtering

Reviewing applications can be time-consuming, and recruiters often find themselves sifting through CVs and cover letters from candidates who aren’t right for the role. We can help you streamline this process with our CV filtering service:

Your role is advertised on our global job board and can be shared to our social media audience of football professionals
After the closing date, our experienced consultants get to work in reviewing each application to filter candidates who match the role description and requirements
You will then be provided with a list of suitably qualified applicants alongside their CVs

Case Study: Carolina Velocity FC

Carolina Velocity FC was founded in 2018 by Andy Thompson, who wanted to deliver an outstanding coaching product to young footballers in the local community.

Since 2017, we have worked closely with Carolina Velocity FC to find exceptional candidates for its quickly growing team. Our partnership has resulted in 11 successful placements and an excellent retention rate, with every coach recruited through Football Careers staying at the club for more than one year.

Case Study: Rangers FC

Gary Gibson (Head of Soccer Academies and International Relations at Rangers FC) realised he needed to extend the reach of his job adverts to find appropriately qualified coaches for football programmes in Asia.

Our team of recruitment experts worked with Gary to produce job adverts that would attract the candidates he was looking for and filtered applicant CVs to provide him with a shortlist of only the very best people for his roles. This streamlined process has been incredibly beneficial to Rangers FC’s International Soccer Academies.
