HIRING & CONSULTING SERVICES

WHAT WE DO

Hiring isn’t just about filling a position—it’s about finding the right people to elevate your program. We take the time, stress, and guesswork out of the process by managing every step with professionalism and precision.

  •  Need, Values & Culture Call. We begin with an in-depth conversation with the hiring head coach to clarify the program’s needs, identify what aligns with the culture, and determine what will set the staff up for long-term success.

  • Full-Service Communication Management. We handle all inbound inquiries, initial interest calls, and interview logistics—so you can focus on what matters most.

  • Vetting & Evaluation. We conduct thorough background calls, review resumes, and assess portfolios to ensure you're only considering top-tier candidates.

  •  Staff Education (If Desired). We equip your current staff with best practices for phone and on-campus interviews, streamlining the process and improving efficiency for everyone involved.

  •  A Safe Space for Head Coach Conversations. Throughout the process, you have a trusted sounding board in Maren. Coaching hires always come with curveballs, and having a space to manage your thoughts ensures you stay aligned with  what’s best for your program.

From start to finish, we keep the process moving so you can focus on leading your team.
