We consult to understand your business goals, your talent strategy to support these goals, values, and the key qualities you look for in early career talent. We are also happy to consult and advise on interview/hiring process best practices, and salary benchmarking.
Prior to introducing any Athlete to your organisation, all go through a minimum two stage process to maximise alignment on drivers, competence, and values. Telephone screening is used to understand key career motivations, and an introduction to commercial career paths. This is followed by thorough in-person or video interviews to assess competencies and skills related to success in a commercial career.
We support with all stages of the process from interviews-offer management-onboarding.
After securing a role, we support Athletes through onboarding process and beyond. We understand that any new job/career change can be challenging, we've been there! Each Athlete we place gets assigned a mentor from the Athlete Origin team, and mentorship opportunities from other ex Athletes in our alumni network, who are successful in their fields.
