A quick tour of what you get as a member.
Here is what they get.
50%
of members land a role in football within their first year
60+
members, from career changers to people already inside clubs
14
clubs and companies where members have landed roles
Courses on analysis, scouting, portfolio and getting hired, built around the four pillars. Work through them at your pace, with templates and real club tasks, and get notes as you go.
A call with me every month about your work, your portfolio and your next move. Elsewhere that is the expensive part. Here it is part of the membership.
Hot Seat sessions on member work, Q&As with people in the game, and member calls. Everything is recorded, so missing one costs you nothing.
The same data providers and video tools clubs use, plus Pro Scout Edge, the scouting tool I built. You practise on what the job actually runs on.
Post a report or a data piece and people doing the job tell you what is missing. Not likes, actual notes.
Dinners, match days and industry events across the UK, and members hosting abroad. The people you meet are the network that opens doors.
You've seen people get jobs at clubs. Analysts posting scout reports on LinkedIn, getting replies from sporting directors, landing interviews.
You know you could do that work.
So you do a course. Maybe two. And at the end you have a certificate, no portfolio, no contacts, and no idea what a club actually wants to see.
That's where most people stall. Not because they lack the ability, but because they're working alone, with no feedback and no direction.
Clubs don't hire certificates. They hire people whose work they've seen and whose names they know. That is what I built this for.

"The Recruitment Room gave me the roadmap, the skills and the community to land my role."Apply to join membershipApply to join the Recruitment Room
Most of the roles our members have landed came through someone who had already seen the work. A post, a report, a conversation at a game. The job advert came second, if it came at all.
So the path isn't "learn, then apply". It's learn, build something, show it, get feedback from people in the game, and let the network do the rest. The Recruitment Room is that loop, run every week.
The Four Pillar Pathway
This is the pathway every member works through. Your 6-week action plan starts from wherever you are on it, and we work round it together.
I teach you how to scout
How a club actually runs its scouting, how to profile a position and a player, and how to write a report that a head of recruitment reads to the end. You scout real games and get notes on the reports.
I give you the technical skills
Data from the providers clubs use, visualisation that explains instead of decorates, and models you can defend in a room. Player ratings, scraping, the lot, taught from zero if you need it.
We build your portfolio together
If your work isn't online, it doesn't exist. You pick a niche, publish, and get feedback from people in the job until the work is good enough that clubs start finding you.
I get you out there
A CV and cover letter that get read, mock interviews and real club tasks, and a network that opens doors before the advert goes up.
Every pillar on the wheel is built around doing the work and showing it, not just watching lessons.
Here's how it works:
Learn it
Short, focused lessons on exactly what to do and why clubs care.
Do it
Every lesson ends in a real task: a report, a model, a piece of analysis on a real game.
Get notes
Post the work. People in the job, and me, tell you what is missing.
Publish it
The good version goes online, where clubs and sporting directors can find it.
Land it
CV, applications, mock interviews, club tasks. Then the interview, and the offer.
Wherever you're starting from, the wheel shows you where you are and what to build next.
60+ members building careers in footballI could tell you the community is active. Easier to show you.
Most people trying to break in work alone and never hear what a club would think. In here, you post a scout report and people doing the job tell you what is missing: wording, structure, what a head of recruitment would want on page one. That loop is the whole point.
After our call, every new member gets a written 6-week action plan from me: where you are, what you want, what to build first and why. It's a guide, not a rulebook, and it starts from whatever you've already done.
Motherwell. Cambridge United. Crewe. Eyeball. The posts below are all from the last few months, and most of them thank the people in the room who shared the role, read the report or made the introduction. The people a few steps ahead of you leave the door open.
Posted by members in the last few weeks, as they asked them.
There's a lot of knowledge in the room, and people actually want to share it.
They've done what you want to do. They turn up to sessions and answer questions.

Recent meetups
We cap each intake so I know every member by name and what they're working on. When you post, people reply. When you land something, everyone hears.
Hey, I'm Liam
I changed career into football.
Now I work full time as an analyst and scout.
Sharing my work online got me in. Learning from people on the same path got me further.
I built the Recruitment Room because I wanted the community I wish I'd had.
I'm in it every day.
I run the live sessions. I do the monthly calls. I know every member by name.
I still do the job. I scout, I build the data work, I see what clubs ask for.
So what I teach is what clubs are asking for this season. Not what worked five years ago.
And I've been on your side of it. I came in from outside football with no contacts in the game.
It took me about eighteen months. Half of our members have done it inside a year, because they aren't guessing.
When you join, you're not buying a course from someone who disappears. You're joining a room where the person who built it turns up every day.

FAQs
If you've read this far, something landed. Maybe it's having a plan instead of another course. Maybe it's people around you who are building the same thing.
The difference between the people who get in and the people who stay stuck isn't talent. It's work that gets seen, and people who open doors. That's what this is.
