We bring an unrivaled knowledge and track record of placing senior people into the Sport, Performance and Entertainment sectors and are passionate about delivering the right results for our clients.
Sports – Corporate
We acutely understand the challenges in the business of sport and the need to marry performance, on and off the pitch. Nolan Partners has conducted Executive Searches across a wide variety of sporting organisations including world famous sporting clubs, governing bodies, professional leagues, venues, agencies, broadcasters and the major corporate organisations involved in sport and to date we have worked with over 30 sports across the world.
Sports – Performance
Nolan Partners Performance Practice sources specialist technical / performance candidates from a global pool. We work with world famous clubs, teams, governing bodies, federations and leagues to identify top performance talent.
Media & Entertainment
Our strong track record spans the converging media, gaming and content and Entertainment sectors, working with global NASDAQ and FTSE clients, VC’s, broadcasters, gaming operators and technology businesses.
Our Approach
Nolan Partners conducts Executive Search on a retained basis for clients. We work with clients until the assignment is concluded, whatever it takes.
We take it upon ourselves to know who is successful in the sectors where we operate, identifying the people who deliver results time and again. As such, we ensure that we are well connected and always stay abreast of current events in our sectors.
We have also built a market leading in-house research capability and we are confident in our ability as a team to search across the world for talent. As well as identifying the best talent in our sectors, we pride ourselves on identifying high calibre individuals from other industries whom we believe have the right skill set and personal qualities to succeed in this space. In fact, more than 50% of our candidates now come from outside of our core sectors. However, it is one thing identifying successful individuals, but it requires specialist knowledge and experience to find the candidates with the capability to translate their previous success to the world of Sport, Performance or Entertainment.
Research
A strong relationship with our client is at the heart of every successful Executive Search. So we make things personal. Our team takes the time to understand individual client requirements to help identify the skill set and personal qualities necessary for a candidate to succeed in their role. We then use our in-house research capability and specialist sector knowledge to find them.
This partnership approach is amplified further by:
- Extensive experience across sport and related sectors such as media & entertainment
- The breadth and depth of our networks, supported by our well known and respected brand
- An exceptional track record of success
- An in depth understanding of sport and related industries
- International reach
- Robust candidate assessment and evaluation
- A passion to get it right
