Can’t fill a coaching opening?

The coach you need could be 10 minutes away.They just don’t know you need them.

You’ve called. Texted. Asked everyone you know. Still no luck.

There are great coaches in your community who aren’t actively looking for a coaching job. Plenty of them would say yes if they knew you were hiring.

CoachBridge uses paid social media to put your position in front of them.

You don't have a hiring problem. You have a visibility problem.

Your current reach only goes so far. The right coach might live in your neighborhood and have no idea you're hiring.

Existing reach

Personal connections, staff connections, word of mouth, school social media, district careers page. Mostly people already connected to you, or already looking.

CoachBridge reach

Targeted local advertising that reaches potential coaches outside your existing circles, including people who aren’t actively looking.

We don’t wait for them to find your opening. We put your opening in front of them.

If the campaign doesn't lead to a hire

You don't pay for a result you didn't get.

They hired two coaches. Then they called us again.

A Colorado athletic director came to CoachBridge needing assistant flag football coaches. Our campaign helped him hire two.

When a hard-to-fill C-team volleyball opening came up, he called again. That one filled too.

Built by someone who has spent 30+ years around coaches.

Chris Coughlin spent more than three decades building Glazier Clinics and working with coaches and athletic programs across the country. Over those years, the same problem kept showing up.

Great potential coaches can't apply for jobs they never see.

That's why CoachBridge exists.

What if we don't hire anyone?

You owe nothing.

Does CoachBridge decide who's qualified?

No. Your school runs its normal screening and hiring process. You decide who gets interviewed and who gets hired.

Do we pay for the advertising?

No. CoachBridge creates and pays for the campaign.

Does this replace our district job posting?

No. Keep posting where you always have. CoachBridge reaches the people those postings don't.
