On Monday 26th February, the Executives in Sports Group hosted the first-ever Talent Acquisition in Sport Summit at The Etihad Stadium, with the kind and generous support of Manchester City Football Club and City Football Club.
Whilst Executives in Sport Group are first and foremost a sports recruitment and talent consultancy, some of the core pillars of our business are community, mentorship and now..events!
Bringing together nearly 50 Talent Acquisition and HR professionals from across a wide range of sports, we heard from the likes of….

Best Selling Author – ‘Google’ Dave Hazlehurst. Helping everyone have a much clearer idea on EVP, from defining it to implementing and measuring it. Some brilliant insights and he even managed to get a picture of Jurgen Klopp on a screen in The Etihad!
