LONDON: 15th May 2018
21st Club and Elite Performance Partners are bringing to market a new, evidence-based approach to the recruitment of head coaches to help clubs better identify and assess leading candidates from the widest talent pool. The partnership combines 21st Club’s market-leading strategic and analytical intelligence with Elite Performance Partner’s structured approach to character selection and assessment within the performance environment.
David Slemen, Managing Director of Elite Performance Partners, is excited by the partnership.
He commented, “We are delighted to officially form this partnership with 21st Club. We share the same values and vision to look at the bigger picture, by thinking differently and helping our clients achieve a competitive advantage.”
Elite Performance Partners recognise the unique challenges of hiring a head coach and the critical importance of getting it right. David added, “By utilising a holistic evidence-based approach to our head coach recruitment, we can reduce bias and help avoid emotional or rushed hiring decisions, which should ultimately enhance the performance of our clients.”
Ben Marlow, Head of Football at 21st Club, is also enthused by the partnership and its benefits for clubs.
“We are excited to be working with Elite Performance Partners in the area of Head Coach recruitment,” Marlow said. 21st Club view hiring a manager as one of the most material decisions faced by the front office and it’s therefore critical that clubs are armed with the best available information to help them get it right.
