Choosing the right candidate

Selecting the right PGA Professional is one of the most important appointments a golf facility will make.

That is why we also now offer a FREE service to guide you through the recruitment process.

What we can do:

Operating model review – many clubs have used the same one for years but is it right for what you want to achieve? This includes appropriate costs and remuneration.
Skills and competencies, you require from your professional – matching the roles and responsibilities for what you want from your operating model. Based on this we can then assist with the development of your advert.
Access to the talent pool –we have the communication channels to speak to our 8,000 Members and we can help match the best individual for the role.
Service Level Agreement / Contract – Be clear on expectations, goals and rewards. An agreement which is mutually beneficial to delivering a profitable solution for both parties.
