Who is it for?
This module forms the second part of our Level 1 Foundation in Recruitment Analysis, so it leads on naturally from “What is Recruitment Analysis?” and sets you up to take “Video Scouting”, the other module in this course.
As a standalone module, it’s a complete introduction to the player search. If you already know the outlines of analysis, and want to dive into the practical “how-to,” this module is a good starting point. It prepares you to take our Level 2 course The Recruitment Analysis Process, which looks at the player search in a lot more depth.
