About this board
What it is
Football Hired lists live football jobs in five areas only: scouting, recruitment analysis, performance analysis, data and engineering, and commercial roles at football data companies, where the work is with club recruitment and analysis staff. Coaching, sports science, commercial roles at clubs themselves and everything else are well served elsewhere and are left out on purpose.
Who runs it
Football Hired is run by the Recruitment Room, a membership for people who want to work in football recruitment, scouting and analysis. It was started by Liam Henshaw, who changed career to become a football analyst and scout.
Many of the roles that matter are never advertised. They go through people who already know each other. This board covers the part of the market that is public. The Recruitment Room is for the rest: building the skills and the work that get you noticed, and the network that hears about roles first. Members get:
- Courses on scouting, analysis, recruitment and getting hired
- A six-week plan built around you when you join, then a one-to-one call each month
- Live sessions: coaching on members' work, Q&As with people working in the game, and member calls, all recorded
- Feedback on your work from Liam and other members
- Help with CVs, cover letters, mock interviews and portfolios
- Networking dinners, match days and industry events in the UK and beyond
Half of its members land a role in football within a year. See how the Recruitment Room works.
Where the listings come from
Roles are read from each employer's own careers system: the job feed it publishes where it has one, otherwise its own careers page, read gently and only where the site allows it. A role found on another job board is listed only when it links back to the employer's own posting. When an employer closes a role, it leaves this page on the next check, so nothing here is stale.
Every listing links straight to the employer's posting. We do not take applications or sit between you and the club. An advert in another language carries our English translation above the original.
Sources are checked twice a day, most recently today. That check read 1,832 postings and kept 73.
Who is covered
The board reads 422 clubs, 29 leagues and governing bodies, and 13 data companies and agencies, from the Premier League to the National League, and across Europe, the Americas, the Gulf and Australia. Every employer is checked by hand before it is added, and sites that block automated access are left alone.
Most clubs run their own careers pages, which need a reader written for each one. Coverage grows club by club, prioritised by where the roles actually are.
Why it is small
Most boards bury fifteen coaching and catering roles for every analysis job. This one carries only the areas above, filtered by title, so a quiet week is information rather than a failure. Fewer than one posting in twenty from the sources we read is relevant. That is the market, and an empty page says so honestly.
How roles are sorted
Newest first. Each role is dated from the employer's own posting date, or from the day we first saw it where the employer does not state one. Every posting is also filed into a lane from its title and given a confidence level from whether football or sport is named anywhere in the posting. Sorting by best match puts roles where football is named at the top and a generic data role at a sports company at the bottom. The rules are simple and they will occasionally be wrong, in which case a role is missing rather than an irrelevant one included.
