I have been in Club management for over 20 years. While my early years were with a management company which allowed me to pursue opportunities as I grew and developed my own career, when I made the transition to Member-owned Clubs I no longer had the resources I enjoyed previously. While I quickly found CMAA which offered me a professional network of support, it took me a while to understand the “role of the recruiter” in seeking new positions as I outgrew former ones.
While I understand that recruiters’ clients are Clubs and not candidates, from my perspective GSI is “Best in Class”. They are professional and follow a process that is practical for both their clients and the candidates. They are also highly responsive throughout the process whether the candidate is in the running for a particular position or not, which is very refreshing for candidates.
I have had the pleasure of working with both Scott McNett, who is a career recruiter, and Ned Welc, who transitioned from Club management into recruiting and consulting. I would recommend either of them to lead an Executive Search for any type of Club. They are also adept and filling department head positions and other Club needs.
