Elite Performance Placements

Elite Performance Placements is a specialist recruitment and advisory firm born from sport, working with elite teams, national federations and governing bodies to advise, recruit and develop senior leaders and their teams around the world. The company addresses a fundamental contradiction at the heart of high-performance sport: organisations that demand excellence on the field often accept mediocrity off it. Elite Performance Placements operates at this gap between ambition and execution, leveraging deep sport industry knowledge, unique insight and unrivalled access to deliver transformational outcomes for their clients.

The company specialises in three core service areas: Executive Advisory, where they work shoulder to shoulder with directors, executives and ownership groups to shape structures, strategies and cultures that build lasting performance legacies; Search and Selection, identifying and placing high-impact talent from Head Coach to CEO and the teams behind them, always aligned with client vision and values; and Leadership Development, blending real-world insight with proven frameworks to help leaders grow into game-changers across field, boardroom and beyond. Their expertise spans work with professional football clubs, national sports teams, cricket organisations, wheelchair basketball, rugby unions and international governing bodies.

Based in Bath with an office in Melbourne, Elite Performance Placements serves clients across the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Africa. The company is trusted by legendary organisations and national teams to identify leaders, codify methodologies and deliver elite recruitment outcomes. Their approach is distinctly personal, underpinned by sport industry fluency and a commitment to delivering exactly what they promise, when they promise it. Clients consistently praise their knowledgeable, pragmatic and experience-based methodology, alongside their openness, collaboration and exceptional insight.
