Our story

Cornerwork is built, owned and operated by professionals with experience from both sides of hiring decisions in the sport and health world.

Why we started

We have sat on both sides of the table, so we know what a good hire looks like to the organisation making it and to the person taking it.

What we do

We find the commercial, leadership and clinical people who help sport and health organisations grow.

How we help

You tell us who you need. We find them, check them and bring you a shortlist, so you only step in to meet the best.

For the decisions you can't afford to get wrong.

You know what one great person can do for your organisation. You also know what the wrong one costs you: months of time, money, and momentum.

Most recruiters don't know your world, sifting through CVs that were never right. Sport and health are attractive, so they bring a lot of noise.

You deserve better than that.

What you get with Cornerwork

People who already get your world

Every candidate you meet understands your sector and what your organisation is trying to do.

A shortlist you'd hire from

A few strong people, each one worth your time. No sifting.

Your time back

You focus on running your organisation. You only step in to meet the best.

A hire that lasts

Someone who fits your team, not just the job description, so they stay and grow with you.

Let us know your needs

Two ways to work with us, depending on the role.

For one key role

Key hire

You need one great person in a role that matters. You only pay when they start.

For senior leaders

Executive search

You're hiring a chief executive, director or board member.

Athlete placement

Hire pro and ex-pro athletes who open doors.

Athletes bring credibility, a network and a winning mindset. We find the right one for your partnerships, sales or brand role, and help them hit the ground running.

How athlete placement works

How it works for you

You tell us who you need

One short call about the role, your team and what good looks like to you.

You meet the best people

A shortlist of candidates already checked against your brief, with honest notes on each.

You make the hire

We handle the offer and the details, and check in once they've started.

Your search gets full attention

As a boutique recruitment partner, we work with a small number of organisations at a time. So your role is never at the bottom of a pile, and the same senior person looks after you from the first call to the first day.

The best talent, brought to you

The best people in sport and health rarely apply to job adverts. We know where they are and bring them to you.

Your questions

What does it cost?

For key hires, a percentage of first-year salary, and you only pay once your new hire starts.

Where do you work?

We are a global agency. We find talent for sport and health organisations all over the world.

Will my search stay confidential?

Always. Nothing about your role is shared without your permission.

Tell us who you need.

Share a few details about your role. We'll get back to you within one working day, and it costs you nothing to talk.
