Our approach
We recruit and train the best video scouts worldwide
Step 1
We’ve experienced that many clubs struggle to get good scouts on board. That’s why we’ve set up a very smart hiring process for video scouts in the last two years. So far, more than 4.000 scouts applied for a job at our company. None of them was required to send us a CV or cover letter, everyone received the first scouting assessment. It contains tactical situations and questions to be answered. The best ~10% proceeds to the second assessment, where applicants evaluate individual players and a full match. We anonymize the names of the applicants to be unbiased when rating their assessments. In the end, only the top 0.5% is asked to join our team.
We spend a lot of time on this application procedure, and it provides us with something unique: the best possible video scouts all over the world. And we don’t stop there: we provide ongoing individual and group feedback to help our scouts improve continuously.
We assign them to clubs to create extra manpower
Step 2
When we collaborate with a club to provide extra manpower, we always take the main needs of that club as the starting point. What kind of scouts are they looking for? Where should they be located, is there a language preference, do they require certain fields of expertise? Together with the club, we decide which of our scouts are assigned to get started for them.
We adjust to the club’s scouting setup
Step 3
Our scouts do not perform one-size-fits-all scouting. On the contrary. When we collaborate with a club, the designated scouts heavily adjust to the specific preferences of the club. To start with, they watch matches of the club to learn more about the style, level and current squad. Then, they take into account the information the club provides about the game model and positional profiles. Preferably, they’ll get an account in the club’s scouting database (with permission to see only their own reports). Added to that, they evaluate players within the rating system and reporting guidelines the club uses. By working like this, we make sure that we fully adjust to the club, and not the other way around.
