Searching for a sports executive is high profile and high stakes.
We understand the sensitivity and urgency of finding a coach or sports executive. That’s why we complete most coach searches in 10 to 14 days and can complete executive searches in four to five weeks.
We have a proprietary database with statistics on all of the industry’s professionals. This helps us find talent that is right for our clients.
“Assembling a strong team is paramount. Parker Executive Search is an effective ally who has demonstrated excellence in all phases of high level searches which brings added value to a critically important process.”
- Rob Mullens, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, University of Oregon
“Many people think you hire search firms to identify [coaching] candidates. That’s not how it happens – at least not at Iowa State. I’m not doing my job if I don’t know who the candidates are. What we hired Parker Executive Search for, is to help us strategize and execute our plan. Daniel and Dan allowed us to be in a position to get the person that we wanted to get.”
- Jamie Pollard, Director of Athletics, Iowa State University

- Public and private colleges and universities
- Professional sports leagues and teams
- Amateur and Olympic organizations
- Corporate entities with a sports focus
