Executive Search Success!
The Challenge
When a regional golf club faced the sudden resignation of their General Manager, they needed more than just a recruitment agency. The board required:
A discreet and impartial partner to manage a sensitive search
A leader with strong HR/IR expertise to guide long-term strategic growth
Assurance that confidentiality was maintained and local industry relationships respected
With member expectations high and the stakes even higher, the pressure was on to secure the right leader—without disrupting operations or raising unnecessary attention.
Our Approach
We designed a tailored recruitment strategy that combined reach with discretion:
Ran a 30-day targeted advertising campaign on Seek
Leveraged LinkedIn and our specialist database for direct outreach
Provided the board with expert advice on role design and salary benchmarking to ensure an informed and future-focused decision
Throughout the process, we acted as an impartial advisor—ensuring professional standards were upheld while protecting the club’s reputation.
The Result
The outcome exceeded expectations:
Shortlisted three highly qualified candidates with the right mix of skills and values
Appointed a seasoned GM with 10+ years of experience in regional club leadership, with proven strengths in HR, IR, and strategic growth
Earned the board’s trust to the point where they immediately engaged us for a second executive search
The board summed it up best:
“Fantastic candidates and process – really helped us remain impartial and professional.”
Why This Matters
Executive search in the club industry requires more than filling a role—it’s about safeguarding culture, strategy, and reputation. By combining discretion, deep industry knowledge, and structured recruitment, we helped this club turn a leadership challenge into a growth opportunity.
