How we can help
your club
Finding the best players starts with having the best scouts
‘Every club thrives on signing good players. And yet most clubs spend a very limited amount of time on recruiting the people responsible for finding such players – the scouts.’
Marco van der Heide
Founder 360 Scouting

Who we are
Our story
360 Scouting was founded in 2021 by Marco van der Heide, a former professional player from the Netherlands. After spending 10+ years in football scouting and analyzing players and teams using Wyscout, he observed that clubs are very ineffective in recruiting the best possible scouts. To help clubs with this issue, he has developed a smart way to test thousands of scouts each year and select the best ones to assign to professional clubs.
Our scouts are
based worldwide
Frequently Asked Questions
We provide customized services. First, we learn more about your club and your scouting needs. Based on that, we present a plan to assist, including a quotation with pricing, depending on your needs. Although we only assign the absolute best scouts, the price per report is usually still lower than when hiring a fulltime scout internally.
Yes, we do, but they are tailored to each specific club. Therefore, we prefer to create a customized sample of our work specifically for your club. Once you reach out to us, we can discuss a way to showcase the quality of our reports based on your requirements.
We can cover every league worldwide as long as video footage is available to analyze. Regarding live scouting, we can cover areas close to where are scouts are currently located. Get in touch to learn more about where that is.
We have developed an effective method for testing thousands of scouts each year to identify the best (top 0.5%) candidates for professional clubs.
Clubs often require candidates to have prior experience, but it can be challenging to gain that experience without an opportunity to showcase one’s abilities. As a solution, we select scouts based solely on the quality of their assessments. To ensure fairness, our entire evaluation process is conducted anonymously.
We hold an application process every few months. Once selected, we train our scouts to enhance their skills and help them become even better.
We use Wyscout for video scouting. For reporting, we usually report directly into the database of the club. Our scouts then only have the permission to see their own reports. We adapt to your setup, not the other way around.
We understand the importance of confidentiality when working with clubs. To protect sensitive information, we implement strict measures:
- Separate teams: our scouts operate within designated teams, eliminating potential conflicts of interest.
- Access control in software: when reporting directly in the club’s database, the scouts only get permission to see their own reports.
- Ownership: your club fully owns player evaluations and scouting reports, protecting your intellectual property.
- Non-disclosure compliance: we sign an NDA with the club, and the scouts sign an NDA with us, to make sure no information is shared at any moment.
We are happy to discuss these processes in further detail.
