Recruitment intelligence for clubs
The problem
One wrong signing costs a season
Every club, at every level, recruits under the same pressure.
Too many leagues
No scouting team can watch every league, every week.
Tight budgets
Every fee and every wage has to count.
No room for error
Get one signing wrong and the season pays for it.
From the league
to the player
Clear answers at every level, from the whole division down to one name. We dig through thousands of players so you see only the gold.
01. The league
Money, rules, style, and where the value is in your league or the next one up.
02. The club
Your squad, contracts and weak spots, and the profile you need in each position.
03. The player
A ranked shortlist, a two-pager on each target, and a full dossier on the one you want.
What sets us apart
We think like a
sporting director
Value at every level, not just step-up players
Every target is judged on what a sporting director asks: can we afford him, can we register him, and is he better than the player we already have?
The reports
What you get
League and club dossiers
Each one opens with the conclusions in short bullets, so a director can stop after one page. The evidence follows: money, rules, style, squad and contracts.
The recruitment pack
A ranked shortlist for each gap in your squad. Every target is checked against your budget, wages and registration rules, compared with the players you already have, and given a deal plan for January or the summer.
Player dossier and two-pager
The two-pager is the shop window: who he is, why him in plain numbers, and what our video scouts saw. The full dossier opens with a one-page verdict: can he play at your level, where he fits, his strengths, his risks and our recommendation.
The coach dossier
How his teams play, and the man himself: coaching style, team management, image and reputation, and how he works with the squad, staff, media and boardroom.
Fast turnaround
When you
need it fast
Some decisions can't wait for a full dossier. We work to your deadline, with the same checks.
01 Coach shortlist in a day
Within a day of a sacking: who fits your club, your style and your budget.
02 January plan
The gaps to fill this window, with targets you can actually sign.
03 Squad audit
Every player rated against the league, with contracts and minutes.
04 Opponent reports
How your next opponent plays, and where they can be hurt.
Case study
From the league
to a player for Europe
A South American top flight: the league, then the club, then a shortlist for every gap, and a player ready for Europe.
Of the table
But deals ending in December cover more than half of this season's minutes.
Centre-backs exposed
All leave or run out of contract in December. The pack ranks 11 targets across four areas.
A right wing-back, European passport
A 58% chance of starter-level play in a European second division.
