Athletics

Purpose-built for intercollegiate athletics

CSA treats every search with the focus and respect it deserves. No matter the position, the size of the institution, or the national attention of the opening, we know how important the right fit is for your organization. We keep our finger on the pulse of the constantly-changing athletics landscape which enables us to effectively identify the best leaders in the business. By partnering with CSA, you will have confidence that your candidate pool is comprehensive and well-vetted, allowing you to make an informed decision about your next hire.

A Concierge Approach to Every Search

Always On

Our networking never stops. The next great head coach or athletics director is out there, even if a search isn’t active. We believe relationships are the most important part of every position.

Strategic & Focused

Tell us what you need, tell us about your University. We’re not just searching for someone to fill your role, we’re looking for the perfect fit—for you and for the candidate—for optimal success.

Initial Screening

Once you sign with us, we begin looking. We know who to talk to and what to look for. Every search starts from zero, meaning we don’t just recycle candidates from the last search. We find the ones based on your needs.

Logistics & Planning

Let us take admin work off your to-do list. We’ll be the contact and scheduling master between agents and candidates. Our team will get everyone on the same page.

Market Understanding

In these complex environments, CSA pays extra mind to Compliance Rules, FOIA guidelines, and looking for diverse candidates. We refuse to cut corners.

Record of Success

When CSA is hired, success is imminent. Every search process that we have started has resulted in a hire – we are proud that our clients have never experienced a failed search.

The team at CSA assisted us with our recent search for a head coach. I found them to be professional, thorough and efficient as we went through the process of identifying, interviewing and ultimately hiring a new head coach. They listened intently to our desired profile and helped facilitate a seamless process with a deep and diverse pool of candidates.
