What is Recruitment Analysis in Football?

Aimed at anyone considering a career in recruitment analysis — whether or not they currently work in professional football — this introductory module covers the core role of a recruitment analyst, the value recruitment analysis brings to a club, and the data and video tools used to find talent. It walks learners through a practical player search for a centre-forward using Wyscout, and concludes with an interactive exercise in which participants identify a striker against defined club requirements. It is also a useful primer for journalists and sports professionals seeking a grounded understanding of the discipline.

Delivered entirely online and completable within a day, the module is self-paced and browser-based, requiring no additional software. It forms the first part of AnalyiSport's Level 1 Foundation in Recruitment Analysis qualification and carries CPD accreditation, with a certificate of completion awarded on finishing. Content was developed by an award-winning digital learning team in collaboration with recruitment analysts holding Premier League and Championship experience.
