How we work with our Coaches:
Our vision is to bring together the best independent coaches, trainers and consultants in the industry.
All our coaches run their own independent businesses, but recognise the benefits of collaborating with like-minded coaches who work in complementary disciplines or different geographies.
The Recruiting Gym acts as a platform for coaches to run their own online courses or mastermind groups.
Coaches may run live webinars and contribute content and comment to the community. Recruiting Gym may promote and processes payments for a Coach’s course and group but this in no way affects the individual identity of the Coach’s business.
All Coaches are carefully selected based on their capability and cultural fit with the Recruiting Gym’s ethos.
Interested in becoming a coach?
We are always exited to hear from an expert in our industry that is looking to share their skills and expertise with our members. Whether you’re already an established coach or have a course that you can see is missing in our portfolio, we would love to hear from you!
