HISEMAN PARTNER PRESS RELEASE

SEARCH COMPANY TO FIND BEST PEOPLE FOR
JOBS IN GOLF BUSINESSES, DEVELOPMENTS

A new executive search company focusing exclusively on the golf industry has been launched to help golf businesses and course developments identify and appoint the best talent from around the world.
Colt Mackenzie McNair brings more than 20 years’ experience of both the global golf market and the executive resourcing industry to the sport.
The company and its wide network gives Colt Mackenzie McNair a unique ability to identify senior staff that will have the biggest positive impact on a business - wherever they are in the world.
“We are dedicated to improving the quality of executive appointments in golf on a global basis,” said Chief Executive, Stewart McNair, who this week launched the company’s new website www.coltmm.com.
“To deliver individuals to interview for some of the best jobs in golf, it takes a thorough, professional and discreet approach using proven executive search techniques.
“Global golf will need increasing numbers of high calibre people to fulfil its potential over the next ten years and we see our role as helping to identify these people – whether they currently work in golf, or not.
“The golf consumer is far more sophisticated these days in their demands for a better product and higher levels of quality and service. Therefore the golf industry needs to take steps to ensure it identifies and employs the right people to deliver the right products.”
Colt Mackenzie McNair believes it will modernise the way golf businesses recruit their key staff through its creative and highly effective resourcing system – a search and selection process which establishes a client’s exact needs, defines the right type of person required and constructs a dynamic recruitment strategy.
By using an extensive network of professional consultants, in-house researchers and industry specialists - from agronomy to finance, real estate to retail - the company is able to identify the most effective personnel from across the globe.
“Our research tells us that the golf industry does not recruit effectively, perhaps because it gives too much weight to tradition and establishment," said Stewart McNair.
Colt Mackenzie McNair believes the cost of appointing the wrong person to a senior position can be catastrophic for a golf business.
Colt Mackenzie McNair is also launching a bespoke web-driven tool, CMM Selector, giving golf’s exceptional people the opportunity to register their credentials on its website www.coltmm.com. Individuals’ details are then passed on to its consulting team.
