The Power Of A Strong Headhunting Strategy

Passive Candidates


Here's a strong example of what happens when you have access to a passive candidate market and an ability to really create strong, trustworthy relationships with those high performing passive candidates.

Passive candidates = Not looking for new opportunities, but if someone approaches them about an extraordinary opportunity they’ll consider it.

A media company recently approached me as they needed a senior sales professional with 10+ years experience in media sales and have been struggling to find one.

I said “leave it with me…”

The beauty of
Athlete2Business is that it’s allowed me to build strong bonds with former athletes who are high performing senior sales professionals.

Why? Because they’re on board with my mission and we are like minded.

So I ended up finding a former elite athlete with 10+ years experience in media sales, I passionately presented my client’s opportunity, the candidate loved it, client offered the role and the candidate accepted!

That’s the power of a2b.

I have access to a passive market of high performing sales/business professionals and a deep bond & trusting relationship with those individuals.

By partnering with
Athlete2Business you get access to this market and can have the athlete mindset competitive advantage in your business!
